A Glance
Challenges
The biggest challenge for our team was to justify the Alpha Gold market & brand value. Alpha Gold already had a vast network of institutional investors. We began by understanding all possible use cases for existing high-net-worth customers and then met new user expectations without compromising on transaction speed and security.
Other challenges included:
- The client wanted centralized inventory and pricing control across global gold exchanges and alphagoldtrading.com.
- Trade execution was historically unstable, leading to a lower conversion rate for retail investors.
- Pages with live charting data were taking more time to load, severely affecting the user experience.
- The portfolio searchability and filtering were not implemented for large accounts.
- Upgrading the backend infrastructure without affecting the current active user base so that ROI could be maintained.
Solutions
We thoroughly analyzed the requirements of Alpha Gold Trading and provided proposed solutions to the client. Since this was an institutional and retail trading platform, it was crucial to categorize the investment vehicles appropriately and ease user navigation. With a strong architectural structure in place using Next.js and robust Node microservices, we greatly reduced the latency of the website and successfully pushed ROI towards growth. Our team made a comprehensive roadmap to solve all problems, including centralized pricing feeds via secure WebSockets and unified cross-exchange inventory.
