RATapp
A job board connecting rope access technicians with businesses seeking skilled height work professionals.
About Project
DAAS Group, the owner of the application, has been supporting the largest technology companies and general contractors in the energy and industrial sectors for almost 20 years by delivering all types of high-altitude work.
The client wanted to build an application to fill a significant gap in the job market for Rope Access Technicians. The main goal was to create an intuitive user panel and develop an efficient algorithm for matching the right contractors to the right jobs.
The RATapp mobile applications for iOS and Android provide technicians with constant access to new job opportunities tailored to their location and qualifications. Companies looking for rope access specialists can easily reach qualified contractors, verify their skills, and invite them to collaborate directly through the platform.
When developing the solution, we placed strong emphasis on intuitive UX/UI to ensure RATapp becomes the primary tool for technicians and simplifies the process of finding new work. The application enables simple registration and login, automatic contractor–job matching, project creation, job postings, and reminders about expiring certifications.
The project included analysis, UX/UI design, development, and testing — and was completed in just 3 months using the no-code platform Bubble.
Our Work
Initial Assumptions
A Connected System
The client expected ease of use, reliability, and convenience. While the general concept was defined from the start, DAAS gave us full creative freedom regarding the details and architecture of the application. Due to the dynamic nature of the rope access job market and continuous insights provided by the client, the project required adaptability and smooth iteration in a constantly evolving environment.
UX Design
Let’s Map It Out
With a large number of interconnected features and multiple planned iterations, precise planning of the cause–effect workflow and user flows was essential. Before implementing any new feature or update, we examined flow diagrams to understand their impact on existing solutions and ensure smooth operation.
UI Design / Branding
Clear and Intuitive
Challenges: presenting large volumes of job data clearly, designing an intuitive interface, and creating the application’s logo.
For the UI, we focused on functionality, contrast, and readability. We used a palette of black, white, and red — colors associated with rope access work. To ensure excellent readability across all devices, we selected Montserrat, a clean and popular sans-serif font used widely in digital products.
After confirming assumptions with the client, we prepared high-fidelity designs for all screens — desktop and mobile — covering admin, contractor, and company views: homepage, login and registration, listings, job details, contractor profiles, and user dashboards.
Our team also created the application’s logo and actively contributed to selecting its final name.
Development
Connecting Job Providers With Specialists
Based on the UX/UI designs and workshop insights, our developers delivered a responsive desktop platform and a mobile version in less than 3 months.
To validate the concept quickly and improve accessibility for technicians while maintaining low production costs, the RATapp mobile version was built as a Progressive Web App (PWA).
PWA made it possible to adapt the product for mobile use without developing separate native applications for each operating system.
The biggest development challenge was merging filters, email notifications, application and offer statuses, and the rating system into one smooth and reliable mechanism — especially with frequent feature adjustments introduced during implementation.
Tools and Integrations
The platform was built entirely on Bubble.
All system-generated emails are sent via SendGrid to fully personalize the user experience.
QA
Every implemented feature was thoroughly tested by our QA team before being presented to the client.
Sister Application
The quality of RATapp led DAAS to commission a second project — BESTbuilders — built on the same architecture and adapted to the construction industry. We modified filtering mechanisms, job-matching logic, and the branding elements, while preserving most of the existing structure.
Project Management
We managed the project using ClickUp, supported by email communication and weekly status meetings. To ensure full transparency, all tasks, documentation, and implementation details were shared with the client throughout the entire project.
Our collaboration with the Havenocode team went smoothly, and we are very satisfied with the results. The team eagerly shared their knowledge and experience, and communication was a pure joy — we always received timely answers to our questions, allowing us to move forward efficiently. If you have an interesting idea, Havenocode will turn it into reality!
Summary
