Digital platforms must not only be developed, but also maintained over the long term and expanded regularly. This often raises the question: Who takes responsibility when existing systems need to be continued and the existing service provider is no longer the right partner? This is precisely where new direction GmbH came into play at vr-wohnen.de.

The Problem

The system had been in use for years and was indispensable for daily operations. However, further support from the previous service provider was no longer guaranteed – a seamless transition was necessary. In addition to ensuring ongoing operations, the focus was on quickly familiarizing ourselves with the existing architecture.

There was also an urgent need for action: certain functions, such as the expansion of apartment listings and plugin updates, had to be implemented – with the particular challenge of not jeopardizing the stability of the system.

The Solution

new direction GmbH was able to take over responsibility for vr-wohnen.de in a very short time. Through structured analysis and targeted testing, we quickly gained an overview of the system and immediately began implementing initial measures.

Rapid familiarization and takeover: We took over the project within a very short time and ensured stable operation.

Expansion of apartment listings: Functions were expanded so that the platform could better meet changing requirements.

Secure plugin updates: We carried out updates without affecting the system—a crucial step in ensuring security and future viability.

Added value

The takeover by new direction GmbH not only secured the stability of vr-wohnen.de, but also enabled important further developments to be implemented quickly. Today, the platform is more up-to-date, more flexible, and more technically secure.

This project shows that, as a partner, we not only develop new systems, but can also quickly, pragmatically, and sustainably take over, maintain, and expand existing solutions.

At new direction GmbH, we implement these and similar solutions quickly and reliably. If you have any questions or specific concerns, please feel free to contact us directly.
