What was the business need?
The client wanted to create a solution allowing residents of northern England to select and purchase telecom packages from local providers that MS3 Networks works with.
Our answer to this challenge is an online comparison engine with a dedicated ordering service. The solution combines key information about available packages, helping everyone find their perfect product. Currently, the platform is only available to residential customers.
What was the challenge?
The biggest challenge for us was incorporating the prepared changes into the existing Webflow-based service, due to its technical limitations as a no-code tool. Another challenge was to lock down the system via SMS verification with the help of the Twilio service to prevent attempts to steal packages or place unrealistic orders (e.g., 100 at a time).
How did we do it?
The problems were solved with dedicated Javascript code snippets handling custom package sorting and the Attributes by Finsweet library providing ready-made components based on HTML attributes.
We temporarily used the CosmosDB database and Redis to store data for the database system. For the application logic, we chose the Nestjs framework, while for the presentation layer, we used Angular technology with styles implemented using Bootstrap.
Such a setup allowed us to create a fast, stable application and, in addition, based on the Azure cloud, which allows great scaling of the application in case of increasing traffic and load without the need for the sudden expansion of the local infrastructure.
