PropTech Platform Case Study | Legacy System Transformation

Challenge

Re-architecting a legacy infrastructure while continuing to serve the existing user-base

View came to us with a focused ask: integrate data from a new real estate provider into their platform using modern cloud-native infrastructure. What started as a small integration turned into a full-scale digital transformation. Over time, they entrusted us with rearchitecting their legacy systems, delivering production-ready UIs, scaling mobile apps, and building analytics platforms capable of processing millions of data points.

How we helped them

Optimising tech decisions to data-driven product solutions under tight-timelines

In 2023, after their acquisition and rebrand to view.com.au, the challenge scaled. We were asked to rebuild the entire platform with a new design, while simultaneously maintaining the legacy one — all within 3–4 months.

Outcomes

Scalable infrastructure, realtime analytics, and continuous content delivery.

Smart Tech Decisions, Built to Last

•
Migrated from legacy stacks to scalable micro-services using React, not fads.
•
Integrated open-source, reliable tools: Prometheus for APM, not pricey alternatives.
•
Implemented robust visual regression and CI/CD pipelines using Storybook and Chromatic.

Analytics That Drive Product Thinking

•
Built a pipeline of user/product analytics from Matomo + Druid, feeding insights directly to product teams.
•
Instrumented backend and frontend systems to support near real-time visibility across properties, pages, and user interactions.

Engineering Culture at Scale

•
Scaled the Avesta team from 7 to 48 through Aspire program and external hiring.
•
Delivered consistent quality across systems by embedding our product sense into daily engineering.

Team growth over time

How we engineer for the long-term

Enhance all systems that go into production with APM (Application Performance Monitoring) or user/product analytics tools to gauge their performance in real-world settings and for actual use by users Examples: Prometheus, alarms, and health check systems for periodic jobs ensure we are alerted to any issues across all systems 24/7/365
