Solution

  • Technology Stack Selection: We chose Laravel for backend development and VueJS for frontend to ensure a robust and responsive platform. VueX was utilized for state management, and Sass for CSS preprocessing, ensuring code maintainability and scalability. Leveraging AWS serverless architecture provided scalability and cost-efficiency, while MySQL served as the database for storing property and user data.
  • Automated Certificate Management: We developed a comprehensive system within Laravel to automate the process of booking essential certificates such as gas safety and electrical installation. Scheduled reminders were implemented using AWS Lambda functions to notify landlords of upcoming due dates, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
  • User-Friendly Interface: VueJS components were carefully crafted to create an intuitive and user-friendly interface, allowing landlords and service providers to navigate the platform effortlessly. Iterative design improvements were made based on user feedback to enhance the overall user experience and task management efficiency.
  • Service Provider Integration: Seamless integration was achieved by developing APIs within Laravel to provide service providers with quick access to jobs in their area. Real-time notifications and updates facilitated efficient coordination between landlords and service providers, ensuring timely service delivery and payments.
  • Compliance Assurance: Automated tracking and management of necessary certificates were implemented using Laravel’s scheduling system and AWS Lambda functions. This ensured that landlords remained compliant with legal requirements, reducing the risk of penalties and legal complications.
  • Collaborative Development Approach: Close collaboration with Symple's team allowed for iterative development cycles and feedback loops. Regular communication ensured that the platform met the evolving needs and expectations of both landlords and service providers, resulting in a seamless and user-centric solution.
