The Brief
Struggling with wardrobe overflow or event outfit costs? Discover the investment potential of fashion.
Designerex leads the charge in the fashion rental market by making high-end fashion accessible and economically viable. As a global frontrunner in dress-sharing, Designerex cleverly combines luxury with sustainability, creating a marketplace that benefits both those renting out their dresses and those looking to borrow them.
The main challenge was to move Designerex’s development from an offshore team to our onshore team here at PixelForce, all while scaling the platform to a global audience. This needed to be done without disturbing the ongoing operations of the platform. We aimed to enhance the Designerex platform to support its rapid expansion, ensuring robust systems capable of handling more traffic and transactions while keeping the user experience smooth and responsive.
Our Solution
We took on the task of enhancing Designerex’s digital backbone to support its fast-paced growth and broader market reach. Our main goals were to improve the platform's performance, scalability, and user experience to cater to the rising demands of the global fashion rental market.
- Scalable Architecture: We revamped the web architecture to support an increasing number of users and transactions without slowing down. This included enhancing server capabilities, optimising databases for speed, and implementing effective caching methods.
- Enhanced User Experience: To boost customer satisfaction, we streamlined the interface and simplified the rental process. We improved navigation, reduced page loading times, and added clearer search and filter options.
- Robust Security Measures: Considering the sensitive nature of user data, especially payment information, we put in place stringent security measures. This involved integrating secure payment processing, encrypting stored data, and conducting regular security checks.
- Continuous Improvement: We set up a cycle of continuous development, incorporating regular updates, feature improvements, and performance tweaks based on user feedback and analytics. This strategy ensures that Designerex stays ahead in the digital fashion rental space, constantly adapting to tech advances and market changes.
