Business Challenges

Developing a scalable web application to optimize day-to-day construction loan management tasks

Expansion of customer base

Our experienced design team created a new web design version, keeping the company’s branding style. During the design stages, we changed the platform’s interfaces to make the platform user-friendly and easy to use while maintaining the original system’s design simultaneously. Thanks to this, our client attracted more users and, subsequently, clients.

Make the platform relevant for the next few years

We thoroughly analyzed existing functionality to make it more inclusive and address the target audience’s needs. Our team took part in redesigning, redeveloping and extending functionality with new features to cover all users’ needs and adding future-proof solutions to make the platform relevant for at least 5 years.

Make the platform user-friendly

One of our main goals was to redesign old UI design concepts, making them more understandable and relevant to users over the next 5 years. Our seasoned UI/UX designers created the UI of the application based on the original system’s design in line with the corporate brand book.

Wireframes

case

Design System

We developed a new design system that follows an appropriate real estate and financial sector style, including icons, headings, dropdowns, inputs, buttons, graphs, etc. We created new components, upgraded the platform, and improved it, keeping the company's branding.

Features

01. Onboarding

For this platform, we have developed an interactive onboarding that helps people learn to use this platform. Each product element and navigation item is considered separately, highlighting the important elements.

case
02. Sign up / Login

We minimalized the sign-up / login form with two necessary input fields (email address and password). Users can sign up / login as a lender, inspector, borrower or stuff.

case
03. Managers Dashboard

On the builder’s dashboard, users can see a list of projects they are working on. The lists of borrowers, last reports, building location, project progress, and project status/action are highlighted in this list. Also, users can view more detailed information about the project in this section. The project details show the latest inspections, spent budget, site photos, borrower contacts, request history, etc.

case
04. Borrower Dashboard

The borrower’s dashboard is identical to the builder’s dashboard. However, there are some differences. Using the  Actions/Submit New Draw Request section, borrowers can make money requests specifying the required amount. Users can also upload the necessary documentation to this section of the platform (for example, building plans, lender documentation, and other supporting documentation.)

case
05. Lender Dashboard

Lenders have a more advanced dashboard. On the dashboard, lenders can analyze all projects currently being worked on. The number of active projects is presented in the form of a graph. The project types are shown in the form of a pie chart, divided by percentage into custom residential type, commercial type, spec residential type, and other types. Also, lenders can analyze active projects by completion, which are also presented in the form of a graph.

Lenders can also filter projects by type and account. To keep track of what the borrowed money is spent on, lenders have a separate Inspection history section. Going there, they can view when the last inspection was made, what progress of the project, etc. They also have access to photos of building progress.

case
06. Loan management

Managers can manage loans directly through the platform. They can manage and streamline the loan application process, including document upload, e-signature, and verification processes. They have direct access to the dashboard with detailed analytics, projects, invoices, subdivisions, etc. They can easily monitor the loan process and implement changes on the go.

case
07. Loan tracking

The loan platform allows tracking of loan progress and status through a loan pipeline that visualizes the entire loan process. It helps loan managers understand if any information or documents are missing and ensure compliance throughout the loan lifecycle.

case
08. CRM system

We have implemented a built-in CRM system to manage customer information, track interactions, and communications, and automate follow-up tasks. Thus, loan managers can easily manage all tasks and keep in touch with lenders and borrowers timely from loan creation to loan execution.

case
09. Reporting and analytics

The platform provides reporting and analytics tools to help our client make informed decisions, identify areas of improvement, and track performance metrics. Automated reporting and analytics tools make it easier to analyze the loan process, understand customers, and help optimize the loan lifecycle to capture more leads.

case
10. Invoices

We have implemented an automated invoice generation option to facilitate the manager’s workload. By clicking to review the invoices, they can see all the bank details between the borrower and the bank. All invoices are presented as a list with five main fields: clients (borrowers), processing date, loan term, invoice number, status, and CSV.

case
11. Messaging

We have built in-app messaging functionality allowing all loan participants to discuss deals and new loan projects and solve problems. All users can also upload necessary files when creating messages easily and securely.

case
12. Automated notifications

Our team developed automated notification features to keep customers informed of loan status updates and payment reminders.

case

Development & QA

01
Development Stack
NWCC utilized React.Js for the front end, providing a responsive and user-friendly interface. PHP powered the back end, offering scalability and efficiency.
02
Development Model
We employed a standardized and flexible development model, allowing gradual feature implementation to adapt to industry needs.
03
Agile Methodology - SCRUM
The project followed the Agile SCRUM approach, featuring sprints, daily stand-ups, user stories, and continuous improvement for effective project management.
04
Quality Assurance (QA)
QA was integral, with rigorous testing and continuous feedback loops ensuring high product quality and reliability. This approach led to the successful creation of NWCC, an all-in-one construction loan management platform.

Results:

Developing a scalable all-in-one construction loan management platform

After successful product deployment, we conducted A/B testing to ensure improved outcomes. So, by analyzing user feedback, we understood that satisfaction levels increased by 19%. The new functionality has reduced the influence of the human factor and accelerated the exchange of information between personas. 

We have managed to help the business to reach a new level of service delivery, process optimization, and reporting. The company has gained an opportunity to scale and increase its customer base for the next 5 years.
