The client
Property Detective set out to build a big data service for property buyers — comprehensive information on the current and future quality of life in the areas where someone might live or invest.
The challengeWhat the teams actually needed
The hard part of a big data product is rarely the data. It is turning it into something a buyer can read in a few minutes.
Challenge 01Volume
Enormous quantities of data had to be processed.
Challenge 02Complexity made intuitive
Complicated information had to be prepared and presented to end users in reports they can follow.
Challenge 03Thirty million users a month
The service had to hold up at that scale rather than at a demo’s.
What we did
Three months, and an idea turned into a product
Netguru’s engineers contribute ideas and take part in the decisions that matter, and a close working relationship with Property Detective let the team play to that.
Understanding and trust
Close cooperation between the teams built both, which is what makes a short timeline survivable.
Brainstorming together
Joint sessions coordinated goals and objectives rather than leaving each side to assume them.
Transparent throughout
Open communication kept the workflow smooth across a project of this size.
An investor, and Zoopla
The product delivered an exceptional service to house buyers, attracted a strategic investor, and was integrated with the property market leader.
Client testimonial
We are working with world class developers, specialised in the technology that suits us best, and it seems as if by some lucky coincidence they were living just across the street from our office although actually they are in another country.
