The challenge
As the customer's platform and user base grew, some architectural constraints became apparent, and parts of the application felt fragmented and inconsistent . The codebase became progressively harder to extend or scale, which increased the risk that changes would produce unintended side effects.
In addition, gaps in quality assurance created recurring opportunity costs: teams spent disproportionate time resolving bugs instead of delivering new features or carrying out planned technical rewrites, and end clients experienced unnecessary friction.
To be able to efficiently conduct strategic product expansion and improve end-client retention, our customer wanted to fully upgrade their platform and develop new features, making their platform more scalable and performant, accelerate the velocity, and significantly improve the quality of delivery.
The solution
At a glance
Itransition team took over day-to-day development, working on platform rebuild and new features, provided strategic technology guidance, enforced engineering standards, and was responsible for operational stability and scalability.
Platform rebuild
It was important for the customer to preserve daily operations, so Itransition conducted a staged rewrite and gradual consolidation of the platform, executed alongside the existing system, with incremental user migration and testing. This approach helped to improve reliability and boost development velocity over the long term.
Our team advised the client on a modern, modular stack: a serverless NestJS backend running on AWS Lambda and a fully modular Nuxt 4 (Vue 3) frontend. The architecture was built for scalability and fast delivery and integrates with Zoho CRM, email services, document‑workflow platforms, core AWS services, Sentry (monitoring), Prismic/Markdown (content), Google Maps, FullCalendar, Veriff, and a range of UI and visualization libraries.
Itransition’s team completed the following tasks:
- Delivered a stable, production-ready codebase to extend and scale
- Made the platform’s architecture and infrastructure more scalable by separating back-end and frontend and using modern technologies
- Removed technical debt and addressed systemic tech challenges
- Reduced delivery risk by introducing functional testing with gradual automated testing coverage
- Achieved total UX consistency
- Improved platform scalability and performance due to the migration from a single monolithic application with the Vue 2 client and a raw Node.js backend to a fully separated architecture, serverless backend, and modern frontend stack.
New features and enhancements
Itransition’s team didn’t just implement the features proposed by the customer, but reviewed each of them for feasibility and cost, flagged options that are impractical or prohibitively expensive, and recommended a more cost‑efficient alternative that met the customer’s goals and operational constraints.
Our team completed the following tasks:
- Development and support of a chat bot, automating the application's workflows – property search and comparison, filtering by characteristics, prices, and listing periods
- Adding branding capabilities to the application so that partner sites can embed platforms’ listings via an iframe and display them in the partner’s visual style—colors, fonts, logos, and UI rules—enabling seamless co‑branded integrations and external use of the platform.
- SEO rankings improvement as part of regular support due to transfer to technologies with more advanced capabilities to quickly implement SEO optimizations, ensure correct rendering for search engines, manage metadata in real time, improve content stability, and implement modern SEO techniques.
