Invest Latam

Outcome

The Computools team has completed all the tasks on time and achieved the objectives of the project. During the project, work was done on the front-end development of three pages e.g. Home page, Investors, Borrowers. Small fixes, which were negotiated at the initial stages of the project, were also made. Close cooperation with representatives of the client made it possible to more fully understand the needs of its customers. Which in turn helped create an original and intuitive page design. After launching the web service pages, the number of client's customers has increased significantly.

Several key options we solved:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Invest Latam is Colombian investment service, which connects small businesses and investors to make credit and investment agreements via auctions. The company offers the first platform in Latin America, where anyone can lend money to small companies from Latin America. The company does not collect deposits. It is not a bank. Negotiations and money transfers are done directly between their clients. Meaning: investors transfer funds directly to companies and companies reimburse the loan to the investor's account.

The principle of operation is very simple: the client selects a company for investment, using the service and its reliability rating, negotiates a rate and makes investments. Invest Latam needed front-end page development for their service. To achieve their goal, they chose Computools. After preliminary negotiations and discussions, the parties switched to a fruitful cooperation. In the process of working on the project, all agreements and goals were reached.

Not as secure as bank. Negotiations and money transfers are done directly between platform’s clients

Not much work from our side

Tight schedule

Safety: Loans are backed by a personal guarantee and companies follow a solid credit process

Reimbursement control

Companies that borrow follow credit evaluation, provide guarantees and are monitored by a debt-recovery firm in case of delays

Communication

Constant communication with the client is crucial for solving urgent questions, discussing tasks and current issues of the project. To communicate with the customer in this project, the most convenient instant messengers were selected. Regular conferences and meetings were held on Skype, and the Whatsapp was used for urgent discussions. This made it possible to timely perform tasks in accordance with the necessary requirements.

Business Process Mapping

CONSULTING

The first stage of cooperation with the company is consulting. This includes several capacious and important processes at once, such as determining the main and secondary goals, identifying the expectations and basic requirements of the client. Moreover, at this stage, deep analysis and research of existing solutions, ready-made solutions from our company is carried out. Competitors and their ways to solve tasks are also investigated. Our experts identify possible barriers and how they can be resolved; project risks are also calculated.

DESIGN

This is another necessary preparatory phase, which includes building a high-level architecture, writing a project specification and creating an interactive prototype. Prototyping allows to study the functions of the finished pages, discuss their convenience, add new ones or remove unnecessary ones. Moreover, a clickable prototype of web pages contains elements of future design.

ENGINEERING

Development begins with the selection of a team to work on this project. All participants undergo a careful selection, experts with the necessary knowledge, experience and skills are selected among the employees of the company. After this, an intro meeting is held, tasks are distributed and the team proceeds to their implementation. Development is conducted according to the chosen methodology and necessarily includes all types of testing.

Digital Platform & Technology

The stack of necessary technologies is determined by the idea and objectives of the project. Depending on the complexity and necessary functions, optimal technologies are selected from the already known in the market. For individual tasks, an innovative solution based on existing ones can be created.
