Challenge

Localsearch initiated a collaboration with Holycode to address the need for JavaScript experts in both backend and frontend development. Their task was to refactor the existing search.ch project, transitioning it from outdated technologies and approaches to more modern ones.

Following this success, a similar challenge emerged on the local.ch platform, requiring enhancements in the mobile segments. Additionally, there was a need to revamp the existing myLocalina, a significant project within the company, which serves as an online reservation system.

Solution

A highly efficient and skilled team was swiftly assembled in 2 months, consisting of three top senior full-stack experts. They worked closely with the existing Ruby developers, imparting their knowledge of Node.js and ensuring a seamless transition to modernised practices for the search.ch project.

Moreover, the myLocalina project was successfully deployed in production a few months ago. Through the guidance of Holycode’s team and the collaboration with the Localsearch team, the challenge was overcome, and the first version of a modernized MyLocalina project was established, expertly developed using Java and React.
