Client
TeleCompar was launched at the beginning of 2017 and is the only website in Romania where you can compare tariff plans and offers for phones from all operators in Romania and from online stores.
Challenge
The customer wanted to create a platform to offer users the ability to quickly and easily compare mobile phone deals currently available on the market.
The user must be able to sort and filter out existing offers from online operators and stores, whether they are prepaid cards, monthly subscriptions, or phone deals only.
The system must constantly and automatically update existing offers, stock and availability prices and information.
The platform must be available and easily accessible on any device, both desktop and mobile.
The entire platform was built on a custom framework by ControlF5. The platform is made up of 3 main modules:
Frontend – offers comparing application
Public section of the platform, used by users to compare offers. Among the features we mention: possibility of filtering and sorting by: offer type – monthly subscription or prepaid card, calls, messages, data traffic, operators, offer price, phone price. Also for the comparison section we have implemented a complex filter system based on phone specifications.
Backoffice – management application
The section used by the Telecompar administrators for content management. It includes areas for managing offers, phones, brands, phone specifications, operators, partner stores, and other features integrated into the application.
Automatic update system
This module has been implemented as a solution to the challenge of updating large volume of information on the content of offers, in a short and often manner, using public information or special channels made available by operators and online stores.
From the beginning we loved the concept of this project and so we got very involved starting with the planning part.
We did e series of sessions to analyize, write down all the specifications and create wireframes.
After that, the software architect defined the components of the solution and together with a senior developer created the data models and relationships between them.
