As the very first steps, our team started to refactor legacy code of “Layer Cake”. Some parts were written from the beginning, moreover, we implemented new, improved, architecture solutions. The next step was the accumulation of a HUGE amount of data about Real Estate objects and particular areas from different resources (Google Places, ReCity etc.). Now, this information updates in a real-time and helps customers to choose the most valuable place for their business needs. No matter if it’s a warehouse, trade point or office, users get the full report about the transportation, population, amount of businesses in that area, average household income etc.

The next features were implemented:

—  Interactive map with variables of filters and information overlay

—  A-B Navigation and Transport analytics

—  PDF Report Export

—  Automobile and Human logistics overview

—  Business search and analytics

—  Chosen Objects “SpiderWeb” Analysis

—  “Team Work” feature - ability to work with your partners in one space

—  YouTube broadcasting

Communication

We have weekly stand-ups (Chicago time zone) with the management of “Layer Cake”. During this time, besides the current scope of work, customer tells us his ideas and vision of the project. If there is a need for new features, before development, our team starts from investigation technical documentation (API documentation, integration guides). Through the series of tests and reviews, new functionality goes on the production server, where it becomes available for all users of the app.
