A push to re-platform with Zoopla
101 Ways transforms engineering productivity at Zoopla with a new technology infrastructure and tool base that simplifies and streamlines the developer experience.
The Project
Challenge.
One of the UK’s leading property websites, Zoopla’s rapid growth, fuelled by acquisitions, had resulted in with multiple core systems.
To stay ahead of the game and supercharge innovation, Zoopla needed to give its developers access to a single tech stack that enabled enhanced collaboration and made it easy for engineers to switch between projects with ease.
Solution.
Alongside providing value-additive support, 101 Ways led the push to re-platform onto a simple modern stack that did everything a software engineer expected of it.
Code named ‘Project Bedrock’ the move to a new technology stack would both optimise Zoopla’s developer resources and make them interchangeable.
Result.
Within a year, Project Bedrock had delivered a new rendering stack, a new content management system, a new multi-variate testing tool, had decoupled front and back-end development and launched a new and improved property search page.
In brief
If you’re operating in the world of fast moving online property portals and real estate software products, you need to be able to transform fast and launch new capabilities at speed.
Working with 101 Ways, Zoopla was able to empower its engineering teams to work smarter and faster by making it easier to configure, run and learn. The new stack reduces the cognitive burden on engineers as they innovate the next generation of products.
Along the way, 101 Ways helped Zoopla improve their capabilities around listing properties, engaging with estate agents and increasing property enquiry conversion rates.
“We’ve still got tons of plans. You haven’t seen anything close to what the Zoopla business is capable of yet. 101 Ways has been a big part of that success.”
