A recognized Swedish auction company embarked on a digital transformation journey in partnership with DataJob. Despite operating a successful brick-and-mortar shop that covered all aspects of their business, they took bold steps to digitalize their client-facing sales and communication channels. This shift was driven by market demands, the impacts of COVID-19, and advancements in technology.
With DataJob’s expertise, the company modernized and extended its digital channels, enabling efficient logistics services, streamlined valuation processes, and accelerated sales growth to achieve their strategic goals.
The project began in late spring 2021, and its initial version was launched in 2023. It includes two web applications and one desktop application, all developed using the Scrum methodology. Following the initial product implementation, the project management and development teams will continue to provide extended support, including maintenance, hosting, and adjustments to meet evolving client expectations.
