Case Study: TrustedHousesitters unlocks scalable growth with Sunscrapers

TrustedHousesitters doubles traffic and revenue with Sunscrapers

TrustedHousesitters, a UK-based online marketplace for house sitting, faced significant technological limitations that threatened its growth. Their legacy PHP application was unstable, difficult to maintain, and impossible to scale, creating a barrier to adding new features. To overcome this challenge, they partnered with the vendor Sunscrapers to rebuild their platform.

Sunscrapers completely rewrote the application using Python and Django, incorporating new features like a map search and a multi-currency payment gateway. This solution from Sunscrapers reduced the codebase size by half and achieved 80% test coverage. The results were substantial, leading to a doubling of both traffic and revenue in just over a year and helping secure a £77,000 investment for the customer.
