Developers.dev was the perfect partner for us. Their deep understanding of GDPR and data privacy was evident from our very first call. The AI / ML Rapid-Prototype Pod they provided was incredible; they took our concept for a matching algorithm and turned it into a functioning, learning model in weeks, not months. We launched on schedule and our user adoption rates are exceeding all expectations.
Sophie Dubois, Founder & CEO, Euro Prop Finder
"EuroProp Finder," a well-funded startup based in Germany, aimed to disrupt the European rental market. Their vision was a hyper-personalized platform that used AI to match tenants with properties, going far beyond simple filters. As a new player targeting the EU, they faced two major hurdles: navigating the complex web of GDPR regulations and building a sophisticated AI recommendation engine from scratch, all while needing to get to market quickly to secure a first-mover advantage.
The client needed to build a complex, AI-powered platform that was compliant with the world's strictest data privacy laws (GDPR). They lacked the in-house AI and security expertise to build this platform quickly and correctly, risking both regulatory fines and a failed launch.
Designing the entire system around principles of data minimization, user consent, and the right to be forgotten.
Building a recommendation engine that could analyze hundreds of data points to create accurate property-to-tenant matches.
The competitive landscape required a rapid development and launch cycle to capture market share.
The platform needed to support multiple European languages and currencies from day one.
We deployed a specialized "Data Governance & Data-Quality Pod" alongside an "AI / ML Rapid-Prototype Pod". Our strategy focused on compliance-by-design and rapid iteration.
We designed the database schema and user data flows with GDPR at the core, implementing robust consent management and data anonymization techniques.
Our data scientists developed a machine learning model using Python, TensorFlow, and Scikit-learn to analyze user preferences, property features, and location data to generate a "match score".
To ensure speed to market, we developed the front-end application using React Native, allowing for a simultaneous launch on both iOS and Android.
We integrated a headless CMS to allow the client's non-technical team to easily manage content and listings across multiple languages.
We began with a dedicated "Data Privacy Compliance Retainer" service to create a full data processing map and compliance strategy.
The AI team worked in two-week sprints to build and train the initial version of the matching model.
The mobile development team built the app's UI/UX and core features in parallel.
We integrated with leading European property data APIs.
Rigorous testing was conducted, including specific GDPR compliance audits and user acceptance testing in Germany, France, and Spain.
The app was successfully launched in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
The platform launched with zero compliance issues, building immediate trust with users and regulators.
The AI-powered recommendations led to significantly longer user sessions compared to traditional listing sites.
From project start to public launch, the entire complex application was delivered in just six months.
The successful launch and strong initial traction were instrumental in the client securing their Series A funding round.
Our expertise in data privacy (GDPR) was a critical differentiator.
The cloud-based architecture is ready to scale across the entire European continent.
Our specialized AI and Data Governance PODs provided expertise the client couldn't find elsewhere.
EuroProp Finder owns the proprietary AI matching algorithm that is core to their business.
We delivered a core AI feature that is their primary competitive advantage.
Our Agile process was key to meeting the aggressive timeline.
We continue to work with them on refining the AI model and expanding to new markets.
We provided the perfect blend of skills needed for this unique project.
We effectively managed the project across Indian and German timezones.
This project showcases Developers.dev's ability to tackle projects with extreme regulatory and technical complexity. By combining our expertise in data privacy with our advanced AI/ML capabilities, we enabled a startup to launch a disruptive, compliant, and highly intelligent platform in a competitive international market.
