.NET Property Development Tool

Urbanista had an existing .NET application that was slow and difficult to use, leading to user frustration and decreased productivity.

Key challenges included:

• Inefficient backend calculations causing long wait times for users
• Poor database query performance impacting overall system responsiveness
• Difficult-to-navigate user interface reducing user productivity
• Limited budget constraining solution options

The client needed a cost-effective solution to revamp the application without a complete rewrite.

We conducted a thorough analysis of the existing application to identify performance bottlenecks and usability issues.

Our approach:

• UI/UX Redesign: Created a more intuitive and user-friendly interface with improved navigation and visual hierarchy
• Backend Optimisation: Optimised calculation algorithms and improved database queries to significantly reduce processing times
• Redundancy Reduction: Eliminated unnecessary backend calls to minimise server load
• Caching Implementation: Implemented strategic caching to further enhance performance and reduce database hits

Throughout the project, we maintained close communication with Urbanista to ensure our solutions aligned with their needs and budget constraints.

The improved application gave Urbanista a faster, more usable tool without the cost and disruption of a full rebuild.

Business impact:

• Faster page loads and calculation flows reduced user wait times
• A clearer interface improved day-to-day productivity for planning workflows
• Optimised backend calls reduced unnecessary server load
• The targeted modernisation approach preserved the value of the existing application whilst addressing the highest-friction areas
