Lupp FM, a subsidiary of the globally active Lupp Group, has established itself as a leading provider in the field of facility management. With a team of specialised professionals and experts, the company ensures optimal operational management, increases profitability and supports the maintenance of the value of the properties under management. Lupp FM places a high value on sustainability and quality, which is underlined by certifications according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 as well as regular audits. The commitment to continuous improvement in all areas of the company creates a dynamic working environment in which employee motivation and regular training play a central role. By using the latest technologies, the company minimises negative environmental impacts and promotes environmentally friendly solutions, thereby exceeding not only its own standards but also the increasing expectations of its customers. As a member of the Bavarian Environmental Pact, Lupp FM is also committed to constantly minimising the impact of its business activities on the environment and society, thereby fulfilling its social responsibility.
Calculating a quote is based on a detailed compilation of the customer's information, which includes a precise description of the property, the building, the floors, rooms and trades. On this basis, the system calculates a preliminary quote that takes into account the complexity and specific requirements of the respective trade, such as fire extinguishing systems including fire alarms. This information is automatically transferred to the internal calculation software, which enables a final evaluation and adjustment of the cost estimates.
The user interface (UI) of this system is designed to make the complexity of the data structure (property, building, floor, room, trade) intuitively accessible. Innovative display techniques and micro-animations enable the user to navigate smoothly and understandably. The platform independence of our solution guarantees a high degree of flexibility and accessibility across a wide range of end devices, as it is completely browser-based.
The entire development process follows the API-first approach, starting with the creation of a comprehensive OpenAPI document. This methodical approach ensures a consistent and efficient implementation of the REST API, which enables seamless data transfer between the frontend, the in-house calculation software and possible third-party systems. This API architecture promotes the scalability and maintainability of the application and supports agile development through clearly defined and documented endpoints.
The implementation of a CI/CD pipeline is a central component of the project to support an agile development process and enable the continuous delivery of software updates. The pipeline includes automated unit, integration and end-to-end tests based on technologies such as Jest and Supertest to ensure functionality at every stage of the software lifecycle. After successfully passing all test phases, an automatic deployment takes place. The applications are operated on a highly available Docker infrastructure and orchestrated via AWS. In addition, automatic scaling is implemented, which is activated based on monitoring metrics to efficiently manage performance peaks. This automation significantly contributes to cost efficiency by shortening development times and reducing manual effort. By detecting and correcting errors early in the development process, cost-intensive rework later on is avoided. The use of Docker and AWS further optimises resource utilisation and enables cost-efficient scaling and maintenance of operations.
