B2C Platform for Real Estate Management and Repair Services

Explore how a dedicated Devox Software developer has improved B2C platform performance by integrating the client’s team, mastering complex business processes, and enabling proactive error prevention.

B2C Platform for Real Estate Management and Repair Services

About the client

PortalPRO is a Lithuanian online platform that provides a solution for property owners, property management companies, and contractors in the repair and maintenance industry.

Project

Overview:

The service is a “one-stop-shop” for all property maintenance needs. When our client decided it was time to expand their IT infrastructure, they needed a qualified developer to handle the technical support of the platform and implement new functions. This is where Devox Software came in.

Project highlights:

Platform structure: Portal Pro connects customers with repair experts using AI-driven tools and an efficient logistics engine.
Core functionality: Customers can request services, compare offers, or opt for fixed prices. This dual approach streamlines the process and saves time for both sides.
Geographic reach. The platform can be used across countries and handles complex business logic, including tax regulations and fulfillment rules.

The main requirements for this specialist were:

Integration into the PortalPRO internal team and environment for faster response to disruptions and efficient implementation of new features.
Managing a complex system with multiple order scenarios, external integrations, and tax-related functions.
Ensuring the platform evolved without compromising stability or performance as it expanded geographically, introduced new services, and integrated AI modules.
Reducing the time between problem identification and resolution with immediate responses, optimized integrations, and proactive error prevention.

The Challenge:

Business-sides:

  • Many different order creation scenarios, from fixed prices per service to competitive bids where partners propose their value.
  • Multiple order entry channels, including external services and AI assistants.
  • Local nuances in different countries: VAT rates, methods of final price formation, taxation, etc.
  • Difficulty identifying system behavior as a bug or a planned scenario due to international nuances.
  • Original hypotheses and functionality changed or became irrelevant, resulting in a chaotic, hard-to-navigate structure.

Technical-Side:

  • Code fragments create a complex “legacy” system with outdated remnants due to obsolete functionality left behind.
  • Limited unit test coverage, hindering efficient and safe refactoring.
  • Lack of detailed documentation hampering troubleshooting.
  • Major system failures require developers to work up to 16-hour days to stabilize the platform.
  • Manual fixes in the production database when bugs have already impacted real orders.
  • Frequent team rotation, increasing cognitive load and complicating new functionality implementation and support.

The Solution:

When we took on this project, it was immediately clear that the challenges went beyond technical complexities. The client didn’t just need a development team extension  — they needed a tech partner. Someone who could solve coding issues and act as the system’s knowledge hub, overcoming knowledge divides and onboarding team members.

To meet this need, we developed a custom competency matrix explicitly tailored to the project’s requirements. This framework went beyond technical expertise, emphasizing intangibles like patience, resilience, and a knack for knowledge transfer. By focusing on both hard and soft skills, we delivered the client with a well-rounded NET developer.

“Our professionals don’t just perform tasks, they become part of the client’s team, sharing their goals and striving for overall success. We are proud to offer just such professionals. Our customers’ success is our success.”

Nina Semenova, Head of HR of Devox Software

 

 

From deciphering complicated business logic to navigating internal workflows, the developer became a core team member. He worked closely with business analysts and tech leads.

“My secret is equanimity. After years of experience, I have long ago learned how to professionally approach urgent issues and see through the chaos. The main thing is to recognize the root of the problem and clearly plan its solution”.

Dmytro Savchenko, Software Engineer of Devox Software

Results:

BUSINESS OUTCOMES

  • The platform was successfully expanded to multiple countries, each with unique tax and legal requirements, while preserving a seamless workflow for ordering and pricing. By thoroughly analyzing various ordering processes — fixed price, bid-based applications, and external service integrations — Devox Software’s dedicated developer adapted the functionality to meet new scenarios.
  • Pricing, tax processing, partner compensation, and invoicing became more transparent and predictable, reducing confusion on both sides of the transaction. The B2C Platform strengthened its reputation as a convenient service where clients can easily find qualified contractors and partners and quickly secure new projects on clear terms.
  • Frequent staff rotations have not hindered project progress. Devox Software’s dedicated specialist served as a “knowledge keeper,” providing in-depth business logic and technical details to the new team members. With a key expert who could explain exactly why the system behaves the way it does (and where a “bug” ends and a “feature” begins), training time was minimized.

TECHNICAL OUTCOMES

  • Advanced multi-component system. The updated architecture supports multiple job workflows and seamless integration of AI assistants and external services simultaneously. Targeted logging and monitoring now quickly identifies and fixes errors, including those resulting from “forgotten” or “decommissioned” code paths.
  • Reliable support under high load. When critical errors or incidents occurred, the Devox Software developer demonstrated a calm, methodical approach; prompt, targeted fixes minimized downtime and mitigated the potential negative impact on customers. Timely database interventions and custom SQL scripts resolved existing issues such as ‘broken’ orders.
  • Streamlined scaling without ghost code. Many outdated features (e.g., certain order types that are no longer used) have led to confusion and potential errors. With Devox Software’s systematic approach, unnecessary code was either removed or clearly documented, and the remaining “legacy” code became safer and more manageable. This refactoring allowed the platform owner to focus on new features — such as the AI module — without fear of breaking existing functionality.
  • Fast, reactive approach despite limited testing. Limited test coverage and incomplete documentation meant that solutions often required deep insights into the codebase and database. Thanks to our developer’s extensive experience in dealing with “complex” code and applying manual fixes in production, even the most complicated issues were resolved promptly.
  • Targeted manual corrections and avoidance of legacy bugs. Recurring bugs  — whether they were caused by errors in the AI module, tax calculations for multiple countries, or hiccups during data migration — were fixed directly in the database so that normal system operation could be quickly restored. The causes of these recurring incidents were identified and rectified as part of ongoing support, preventing similar problems in the future.

With Devox Software, PortalPRO has transformed a fragmented services marketplace into a unified, efficient platform. Orders flow seamlessly, tax compliance is automated, and scaling across different regions is no longer challenging.

Devox Software doesn’t just provide developers — we select world-class specialists who integrate deeply into our clients’ teams, stay for the long term, and make a real impact. Thanks to our efficient recruitment process, we quickly match companies with the right talent, ensuring they get experienced, adaptable engineers who deliver results from day one.
