Needs

The client needed to replace its outdated mobile application while preserving key user journeys.

The new solution had to support continuous product growth and provide a reliable foundation for new services.
CHALLENGES

The key challenges we addressed

01

Rebuilding a Large Application in Stages

The existing product included numerous interconnected user journeys, from property discovery to listing management and communication.

The team rebuilt the application from scratch and introduced the new functionality progressively. This approach enabled continuous delivery while reducing the risks associated with replacing a large established product in a single release.

02

Maintaining Continuity Across Complex User Journeys

A real estate marketplace serves several audiences with different goals: buyers, tenants, property owners, and industry professionals.

The application needed to support complex search filters, map-based discovery, media-rich listings, saved searches, communication, and listing management while keeping the overall experience consistent and intuitive.

03

Supporting Multiple Android Ecosystems

Huawei devices require alternatives to several standard Google services. Push notifications, location features, and other platform-dependent functionality therefore could not rely on a single implementation.

The team created separate Google Play and Huawei AppGallery builds with a shared application core and dedicated service integrations for each ecosystem.

04

Adapting to Continuously Evolving Product Requirements

The platform continued to grow throughout the development process. New services, monetization models, and user scenarios had to be introduced alongside the ongoing modernization of existing functionality.

A flexible architecture and iterative delivery process allowed the team to respond to changing requirements without compromising the stability of the core product.
