Ankit imagined a cloud-based, CAAS(Comparison as a Service) platform that would simplify comparison and switching of energy retailers for Australian customers. To build trust and integrity into the platform, his team would partner with a large panel of all the major energy retailers, willing to list their pricing, offers, and other contract terms and conditions.
‟Consumers don't want to call up dozens of companies to get a deal that’s a fair go; and they also don’t want to pay more than they should.”
Ankit Jain
CEO of Cimet
Eliminate reliance on outbound leads which are inefficient, costly and come with a longer time to conversion and higher drop off rate.
Stay on top of the technology trends and capture the tech-savvy demographic to drive inbound leads for the business.
Finding The Right Technology Partner To Pilot The Project
To get the project underway, Ankit needed a reliable technology team with proven experience in Web technologies. He had shortlisted a few companies with ample industry exposure, highly skilled technology teams and successful project outcomes.
However, the project was assigned to the vibrant team of Debut Infotech. In Ankit’s words, Debut’s quick response, sound understanding of the market and project requirements and willingness to take on any new challenge or requirement were some of the attributes that made them stand out from the competition.
Project Kick Off - From POC To Full Scale Development & Continuous Enhancement
The project kicked off with a 4 months POC, which allowed the Debut Infotech team to prove their mettle and for the client to allay his qualms about idea feasibility. Once the POC was delivered as per expectations, the project entered its full scale development on a time and material contract.
Currently, there’s a team of 15 dedicated experts continuously working on design, development, upgrades and maintenance, to make sure the solution stays true to its promised value and generates maximum ROI for the business.
