Client background

Local community street markets are key to the success of healthy high streets and town centres,however in order for them to survive, they need to adapt to the needs of today’s modern consumers. Marketti, a Paysme owned service, addresses the two main current issues facing the UK’s local street markets today:

First, it connects market operators, market traders and street food vendors with consumers by providing them with an online platform where they can find all the information they need on the markets in their local area, such as where to eat, drink and shop, as well as updates to opening hours and traders’ stalls.

Second, it provides an easy-to-use contactless mobile payments platform which allows traders to take payment for their goods and services from visiting consumers.

Endorsed by The National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA) and used by renowned London markets; Borough Market, Portobello Market and Camden Market, Paysme provides a unique and single online solution that encompasses local street market discovery and payment functionality.

Aecor's role

Aecor partnered  with Paysme throughout the process, from initial  idea conception through to platform launch. Aecor’s highly-experienced client service team worked alongside senior members of the Paysme management team to determine the key project objectives, craft the product roadmap in line with key commercial milestones and translate the key functional requirements of the platform into a prototype with  a detailed specification document for the Aecor development team to execute.

The Aecor delivery team consisted of an overall project manager, scrum master, several front end HTML developers, back-end developers and iOS and Android mobile developers to help create the best solution for Paysme’s needs, including :

Their services help ensure that the households managed by developers, local authorities, housing associations, private landlords and managing agents are treated fairly and charged accurately for their heating and hot water usage.

Aecor's role

Tasked with building the rebranded websites for each of the islands and introducing new ECommerce capabilities, Aecor designed and delivered a flexible web application that enabled easier management and growth capabilities within the IEG business.

The new customer portal was configured to align with Insite Energy’s existing business process (to minimise operational change), whilst ensuring that their legacy system were upgraded throughout the build.

As part of the application development, a new payments and billing provider was integrated to allow for improved functionality and a better customer experience. As a result, Insite have been able to handle increased customer volumes with greater customer satisfaction.
