B2C Application for students

Context and Challenge

Bookplanet is an application that aims to encourage people (specifically students) to enjoy reading.
From the scan of an ISBN, the application offers a lot of information about the book:
‍
- Biography of the author
- News (audio and written press)
- Video content
- Reader’s opinions

The objective was to completely redesign the existing application and thus internalize the process and regain control on the application development.

Why Convertigo?

- Low code back-end integration. 
To create a library of millions of books, as well as to query all information related to the books (API calls and integration of external databases).

A UX/UI redesign was carried out by Warren Walter to simplify the user journey and its implementation was faster thanks to Low code.

Benefits obtained

The project was conducted, including project management, in 2 months and a half with a more advanced UX/UI redesign.

All the back office was build with Baserow, making the application much more flexible on the client side, the client having control on the customization of its application without additional development cost.
If a book is not found, the request from 4 different APIs including BNF, updates the internal database automatically.

Installed on an OVH cloud, the application, through Docker and Kubernetes, is scalable to thousands of users, supporting peak connections.
