Originally, we started with a platform that was outdated and couldn’t support some new features our business needed. The Devtorium developer analyzed the system to identify bugs and areas of improvement. They conducted complete code refactoring and updated the platform’s UI/UX design. These changes enabled the developer to add the booking functionality that our business needed. 

We immediately saw an increase in revenue as the platform became more attractive to clients, and we managed to launch the booking service. With such a positive dynamic, our startup also managed to add another upgrade. We had the Devtorium team add a multi-language functionality to make our platform accessible to global users
