Our team was generally well-prepared for the project and had all the necessary skills. Although, we can outline several challenges.

One arose due to the specifics of the administrative and territorial division of the customer’s country, Sweden, and its zip code system. If the company is located on the border of territorial units, it has the right to choose which administrative unit it belongs to. Consequently, the company can be located in one place on the map but belongs to a different city or municipality. One of our client’s demands was introducing a region search option without integrating a third-party app like Google Maps or Google Places. Thus, we had to manually implement the zip code database provided by the customer into the platform and organize the search logic.

In addition, our client had a huge database of companies they were working with and those they were planning to cooperate with. It included more than 70,000 companies with detailed information about each one. We had to transfer this external database to our system without breaking its current structure. We completed this task, and the database included the following information about companies: a registration number, title, emails, phone numbers, websites, description, services they provide, region, their team, insurance, and certificates.

Another small but noticeable challenge was related to a post-release request to develop mobile applications just by duplicating the web app. The customer expected to develop mobile apps in the short term and with minimal development effort because the web app was already mobile responsive and well adapted for mobile users. However, we had custom notifications on the web and so needed push notifications on mobile, which is impossible with any low-code or no-code solution. To meet customer expectations of timeframes and budget we used Webview wrapped in a simple Flutter app and Firebase to reuse web app functionality and set up push notifications.
