Developing a SaaS platform that assists UK homebuyers

FirstHomeCoach is a UK-based fintech company whose product navigates buyers through the complex steps of purchasing a property and connects them with trusted advisors to help them secure a mortgage, get insurance, and handle all the legal paperwork.

Our client’s service needed a custom algorithm and the recommendation engine that analyzes loads of data to automatically plan the individual property buying process.

Sensitive user data gathered by the system had to be secured with the help of a security-driven architecture and data segregation. In addition, our client wanted to make modules including the mortgage calculator and deposit builder accessible for partners as separate products in white label format.

When the client actively participates as CTO and manages all technical aspects on their's side, our project management team come in handy in people management. In this case, nearshore project managers work as people partners, helping to reduce turnover, coach engineers, and speak with them on the same level and with the same cultural values.

While working on FirstHomeCoach, we were conducting various team-building events and workshops, both technically and socially-oriented, such as needs assessment workshops, performance reviews and 1-1 meetings.

Our project manager helped speed up the recruitment process, including covering part-time positions and accelerate the onboarding of new members, including business model knowledge sharing.

Our team selected the technology stack, designed the app’s security and architecture, and built the system and algorithms from scratch. Moreover, we paid the utmost attention to how the system stores users’ personal data, ensuring tight security.
