Idea

While direct employment has been available in Sweden for a while, people still hesitate to use it and refer to agencies for needed services.

The costs of this service are much higher than if you would employ someone directly. We need to create a platform where people would find help with their housework, handiwork, and garden and to fully automate tax handling for them.

The prototype was finished in two months, after which we started working on MVP. Apart from that, we took part in the creation of the business plan, corporate identity, and marketing.

SPA approach reinvented user experience for the job platform

Taking into account a ready-made prototype plus understanding that this project will expand quickly, we gave a lot of thought to system architecture. We needed it to scale quickly up and down, do a lot of background queues for emails, tax returns, payments, notifications. It needed to be mobile friendly as well as easily transitioned into mobile applications.

We also need to think ahead on how we will expand the product and scale with it – basically, a cornerstone between fast development, scalability, and server costs. We decided to go with the Laravel PHP framework as our core as it provides a good environment which scales well. Plus, we have one consistent application for the API and background jobs – it just does different tasks on different types of nodes. For the database, we went with classical MySQL and Redis cache layer.

For the frontend, we decided to go with Vue.js SPA, which we can later convert to a mobile application with Cordova and later rewrite it to a native application if needed. We can use the code base from the frontend API to create new APIs for mobile and also open an API platform for businesses who can benefit from direct employment.
