Industry: Real Estate

Location: USA

Our costumer is a 3D modeling and rendering company for the real estate industry. This industry uses virtual staging services and is extremely popular in the United States. Our clients used well-known file-sharing systems like WeTransfer and Dropbox to transfer files. They are convenient, but there is no way to link file transfer to bill payment with such services and as a result, 15-20% of the studio's work remains unpaid. Our client needed a way to send the results of their work to clients in a safe way and hence the concept of Makeit.oi was born.

WEZOM was hired to create a web service with paid file transfer functionality. Currently, the development can be divided into two stages: first, the launch of an MVP with key functionality, and then the release of a stronger product, which we call Makeit 2.0. The "second" version of Makeit not only provides a mechanism for paid file transfer but also provides the platform's partners with all related services.

 

Service Used

  • UX review
  • Evaluation
  • Software development

Technology Used

  • Amazon Web Services
  • ReactJS
  • Laravel
     

Work Approach

Even though the client already had a clear idea of what the service would be like, we held several brainstorming sessions with him to talk about how the platform would work. The development process was generally stable: we established SCRUM and moved in sprints with a slight lead time. It took the team just over four months to create the MVP.

Our clients always had access to the development team's tracking and understood the status of the tasks being solved. In addition, the team presented the results of each sprint separately. Technical experts and team leads could answer any questions, evaluate some of the client's assumptions, and suggest new features.

 

Challenge
Problems arose with the Google Drive storage API. The official documentation for it was outdated at the time of development, and the software developers had to find relevant information to work with.

Solution
The client asked for the integration of payment services. The platform lets the file seller, the file buyer, and the platform all talk to each other in three ways. And while Stripe has already implemented such functionality, PayPal is in the beta testing phase. Its implementation requires close communication with the service representatives. But all these are administrative and bureaucratic difficulties rather than technical ones. All of them will be resolved.

Results

We managed to fully realize the client's idea of creating a simple and fast paid file transfer system that helps creatives minimize financial risks.

The new version of Makeit.io has been released recently; today it is a beautiful and convenient platform for securely selling visual content, attracting photographers, artists, designers, and 3D modelers.

The client already has a plan for the new version of the product: it can become a SaaS platform where accounts can be sold on a subscription basis to companies or independent freelancers. We are happy to assist them with their vision. Here is a service that can change the lives of freelancers for the better once and for all.
