Geeks Ltd

had a close working partnership with them from the very start of their business. 

To gain a competitive advantage Search Acumen wanted to offer their customers a unique and secure platform. Their vision was to create a platform where their customers could perform thousands of daily property searches and have quick access to hundreds of data sources at the click of a button. They were dedicated to creating an application that transformed the search element of the conveyancing process and introduced ultimate efficiencies, as well as access to a wealth of usable data.

Through our partnership we have developed a deep understanding of Search Acumen’s vison and values. This has allowed us to effectively support them in their mission to create a platform like no other in the market.

In June 2013 we jointly started to build the software from scratch, with a launch of version 1.0 in October 2013. The platform was a game changer that gave Search Acumen the USP to gain market share rapidly. 

Previously laborious processes became automated, with end users now having access to multiple data sets in one central place and all in real time. As a result, Search Acumen grew to be a major player in their industry within a short space of time. 

Due to the fast paced and competitive nature of the property market, Search Acumen are always thinking ahead. This ever-evolving attitude has led Geeks to continuously expand the platform into a suite of applications that can accommodate a large number of different needs within the commercial and residential real estate market. 

To futureproof the platform, we used very robust architecture which sustains constant changes and added functionality without affecting the performance or long-term maintainability; essential to meet the ever-changing needs of this market. 

Today, we continue to work closely together in active development using the Geeks’ Agile approach through which we are constantly creating new functionality in the application to apply new innovations and create value for both Search Acumen and their clients.

 

their doctor outside of scheduled appointments. Patients have also been given limited access to their medical data and the means to analyse it. Harley Street Connect wanted to resolve these issues.
 
Because of the sensitive nature of the information, patients needed to know that their data was safe.

MyOwnDoc includes a website, web application and mobile app. It allows patients to connect to some of the world’s best private health care professionals via a secure messaging system. They can instantly view their medical data and even request a second opinion from another doctor.
 
Consults go more smoothly because doctors always have medical records at their fingertips. Making referrals and accepting second opinions more easily also helps them access a new stream of referrals.

for users. The overall aim is to utilise the wealth of data in Wikipedia to allow users to create timelines for all of history.

The objective of the project was to develop a web-based application where users can graphically view historical events on an interactive timeline to transform the way that we visualise history.

The interface should be engaging and intuitive to enable ordinary users to adopt the platform and contribute to viral marketing and its protected widespread user base and success.

This was achieved by developing a graphical timeline that is both scrollable and zoomable with swift rendering of events. Existing data is pulled from the Wikipedia website to create a repository of events with machine readable dates and images taken from the Wikipedia articles, allowing them to be displayed on the timeline.

The application has three distinct sections: a GUI where the user interfaces with the Histropedia database, the backend Histropedia database, which is where all the events are stored, and the scanning program, which analyses the Wikipedia data to extract key information about each event, such as title, date, location, etc.

This application resulted in a free, open-source, interactive program, which harnesses the might of Wikipedia and Wikidata in a visually interesting and educational way. Users can view existing timelines, edit them, or create their own - which can be shared or kept private. It has wide applications, from school projects, and academic research to more leisure- oriented pursuits such as genealogy or creating timelines of anything from historical figures to Harry Potter characters. Timelines can be shared via social media and commented on in a stimulating environment.

Geeks was able to create an exciting and innovative history project which enables people to interact creatively with historical data and present it in a visually interesting way, stimulating their interest in history in an educative and enjoyable manner.

Turnaround times and backlogs were two key areas in need of improvement. The process was built up over several years and then tweaked and turned into various new working practices, so it was unwieldy and inefficient. So it was determined that a unified management system was necessary to provide basic and enhanced features such as storage, filtering, searching, and appraising of archive information.

Geeks in collaboration with UK Parliament developed a state-of-the-art archive management system. Within an extremely tight deadline, Geeks not only scoped but developed and tested a bespoke ASP.NET solution using purpose-built Web Services; bulk import from and export to Excel, Microsoft Active Directory and dynamic PDF generation technologies.

By incorporating the functionality of tracking, appraisal and querying, a robust Intranet web application was implemented that could be used by anyone on the Active Directory with defined permissions levels.

It reduces the operational and administrative time in managing the process flow of documentation and now provides a painless, and automated platform for running day-to-day archiving tasks. 

More so it introduced a whole new layer of visibility to archived information which was previously considered impossible.

 

 

Highways and roads. The application primarily enabled the generation of Purchase Orders and Invoices to help improve the Management of the efficiency and effectiveness of their employees and contractors.

Geeks provided Westminster City Council with a web-based Project Information Management System.

The application gives WCC and its users the tools to manage all the information associated with works being planned and implemented. The information is then used to create Purchase Orders and Invoices to enable payment of contractors.

The application also sends financial files to third-party middleware, Procserve, which then passes the information along to another system called Aggresso. Many reporting and management tools are part of the application and it incorporates legacy content used by the previous system.

The PIMS system is very successful and has been widely praised by the client. It replaced an older application with newer technology which is more robust, has many more features, but is also more intuitive.

The new solution makes the users' work easier through an improved interface and automated systems which take care of routine tasks.

In creating this technology Geeks and WCC established a very productive and close working relationship which empowered the creation of a highly capable and unique application which it is expected will serve the needs of WCC for the foreseeable future.

fraudulent media and asked the question, “Who should you believe?”

To push this point home, BBC Mundo commissioned a web application to create and share humorous fake news stories with family and friends.

The solution had to be quick and easy to use, but also create realistic output.

Geeks Ltd built a web-based application that allowed users to choose a news template and fill it with personal details and images.

Our innovative online tool included a number of AI techniques including image-processing functions. One element of the fake news page bent an image like a folded newspaper, while face recognition ensured only photos appropriate to the news stories were posted.

existing databases, applications and procedures. The new application would also need to be secure.

Geeks developed a custom .NET solution by integrating payment gateway RBS Worldpay, existing ARB databases, purpose-built web services, Microsoft Active Directory and dynamic PDF generation components.

This site is a major advance for ARB. 

It streamlines complex processes, utilising automation to free up staff for less laborious tasks, creates a better cashflow and allows reporting of financial data in ways that were not possible previously. 

This is a step-change in financial software for the Architects Registration Board.
