Project overview

Proposed approach

Rapid prototype

This approach ensures a comprehensive, implementation-ready design, facilitating smoother development and reducing future workload

Launch-ready

We are proposing two design approaches to balance the immediate need for investor presentations with the long-term goal of seamless development and implementation

This approach focuses on swiftly delivering a high-quality clickable prototype for presentation purposes.

Rapid prototype

Lender portal

4 weeks

Estimate

3-4 weeks

Launch-ready

Since the main goal for this prototype/demo is presentation for potential investors and stakeholders, the team can focus on delivering a clickable prototype only, saving time on additional activities that would be required for development team.

Timeline for this approach is shorter, but it will require additional work before the development stage in the future.

7-8 weeks

1 designer team

5-5.5 weeks

1.5. designer team

This approach will cover broader scope of designer's work as it’s meant to be implementation-ready.

This includes additional activities:

- desk research (incl. benchmarking)

- preparation of design system components

- additional testing and time for iteration with developers

- additional mid-state screens (empty state, populated, error messages, etc.)

Implementation Case Studies

A data-focused investment
platform that removes bias

Uncap - Unconventional Capital is bringing investment opportunities to early-stage companies in Sub-saharan Africa by connecting investors with local business owners. To make sure that the process of financing is as fair as possible, they leverage a unique, data-based process of screening applicants.

Sneak peek into the project

Uncap had an expertly-documented idea for the project that outlined the rules and requirements of processing the applications, choosing the most promising ones, applying data-focused screening, and for managing the investment rounds (both from the investor and the business-owner perspective).

We held a workshop to outline project tasks and set milestones. While developing, we identified edge cases and constraints, refining the product accordingly.

After 8 months, Uncap received a product that was ready to collect and process funding applications. Using the platform, Uncap was able to secure over 4,500 applications in the first round of funding.

Comprehensive platform

We worked with Monterail to develop a comprehensive platform that powers the entirety of Uncap’s operations — from the application process, through the evaluation and due diligence to portfolio support & performance monitoring.

Across-border investment
and financial advisory platform

DealGlobe is fintech’s first cross-border M&A deals platform, providing investment and buy-side & sellside financial advisory services. The app connects businesses seeking investment and partnership opportunities, bridging the gap between Chinese and European markets involved in business spanning the entire globe.

Sneak peek into the project

The client needed a tool capable of big-data analytics and ensuring that the data behind the service is properly and clearly presented within the web interface.

In order to quickly gather insights about the markets and the potential users’ needs, we followed the progression of iteration results to react quickly. We designed the product from scratch, including the app’s road map and architecture, custom dashboard, and UX.

As a result of our cooperation was a working prototype, ready to be demoed to investors and first clients. After the release, DealGlobe became a leading advisor and investor in the fintech industry. A year later they announced a £1 million worth of Angel funds to help further the company’s development and growth.

Great product and design thinking

Monterail provided some great product and design thinking and then built us a solid MVP. It was very useful to be working with someone who would bring their own ideas to the table and challenge our thinking rather than just building to a specification.

Expert web application for
legal services in Africa

Afriwise is Africa’s largest and most advanced legal know-how platform. It revolutionizes how companies can access critical legal and business intelligence and makes doing business in Africa more affordable and accessible.

Sneak peek into the project

Steven De Backer, founder and CEO of Afriwise, knew what the fast and effective solution would be, he had a clear concept in mind, however he and his legal team needed the tools and a team to help them design it and build it.

We conducted discovery workshops, and then, using an MVP approach with a flexible scope, we turned the client’s idea into a highly performant, secure, and accessible online legal platform.

Currently, the app involves more than 100 of Africa’s leading legal counsel and thousands of experts in 20 countries. It also received international recognition by winning the Innovation Award at the 2019 African Legal Awards.

It was about people,
not technology

After reaching out to 50 software companies, we chose Monterail for their excellent approach to the project, very good reputation, their MVP and immediate result-thinking, and their focus on similar products. But at the end of the day, for us, it was about the people, not the technology they were using.
