1. The Fifth Collection – Online Ecommerce Marketplace (Vintage and Luxury Fashion Web App)
Let’s begin with Ruby on Rails projects examples in the eCommerce Industry.
The Fifth Collection, now a leading online vintage and luxury fashion portal, is a world-class Ruby on Rails example. The business is now Southeast Asia’s No.1 online vintage and preloved luxury website.
So why did we undertake this project?
Problem & Challenges:
- The primary focus was to fulfil our client’s requirement of building an online portal that brought vintage fashion lovers closer to the products. Customers usually struggled to find vintage products online.
- Even when they do, there was no clear structure or website to purchase. They wanted to provide a vintage user experience to every visitor on the website. The client also wanted to manage their suppliers, inventory, etc., under one roof.
- We showed a few Ruby on Rails sample projects to the client, and they were sold. Since this idea was new to our developers, we faced several challenges related to the development process.
- The biggest challenge our Ruby on Rails development services team faced was to decide on the best E-commerce platform for development. After careful analysis of our client’s requirements, we finalized Spree Commerce.
Solution & Features:
- Spree Commerce provided developers with significant customization capabilities. It has been useful for RoR projects in the past and offered a flexible approach to the development of The Fifth Collection as well.
- We included all the features required to deliver the best user experience. It contained customized checkout, multi-currency support, recommendation engine to upsell/cross-sell, Manage Customer wishlist, Faceted search, Narrowing Search options and much more.
- From the sellers perspective, we included Manage account(order, inventory and shipping per seller), Support for managing Sale and Coupons, Revenue sharing model, Optimize shipping rates, Automate Online Advertising and scaling.

2. Appruv – Loan Management Platform
Our Ruby on Rails consulting services span across multiple industries. One such Ruby on Rails projects examples is Appruv – a FinTech product.
Appruv is a loan management platform for sales officers that allows them to create on-demand, pre-approved letters and loan calculation.
How did our developers handle the Ruby on Rails project idea?
Problems & Challenges:
- The client did not have any idea about the technology for building the platform. We suggest Ruby on Rails application development because of its ability to create secure, scalable, and rapid applications.
- The sales officers had to go through a lengthy process for developing pre-approved letters. It was a lengthy process – one which the client was seeking us to solve.
- The current process was forcing buyers and realtors to witness a lot of lost opportunities because of the time taken in the process.
- Loan and Mortgage was a new industry that we hadn’t explored until Appruv. But it could be said that our developers did exemplary work as the client sent us a testimonial afterword, which said, “Never expected anything like this to happen.”
Solution and Features:
- Since the application required automatically processing the pre-approval letters and generating loan calculations, our developers took it as a cool Ruby on Rails projects opportunity.
- They conducted complex calculations for creating a solution that enabled homebuyers to easily get letters. Ruby on Rails web development was the key technology for this solution.
- Users could create their personal profile, manage their information through the centralized dashboard, know about updated interest rates, download pre-approval letters.
- Appruv was one of those Ruby on Rails projects where we used high-functional RubyGems to integrate functionalities and make the application feature-rich. Read more about the best RubyGems and how they can help your application.

3. Butlr – Healthcare Platform
Next in line is an amazing Ruby on Rails project that our developers worked on to improve the healthcare outcomes. A one of the leading Ruby on Rails companies, we extensively work in healthcare industry. This project is called Butlr.
Butlr is a therapist search platform that allows users to find the right therapist based on several filters and characteristics. The platform searches for the therapist and matches it against the customer’s requirements. Along with Ruby on Rails, we used ReactJS to build the platform.
Here’s what we did for the Ruby on Rails project:-
Problems & Challenges:
- The client told us their requirement that people were not able to find the right therapist for themselves. They were struggling to find someone who can help them out.
- On top of that, when people found a therapist, there was no information about their availability. Clients need a therapist in urgent situations but didn’t know if they could contact them.
- Apart from that, real-time communication between clients and the therapist was also an unsolved issue.
- We have worked with a lot of Ruby on Rails projects ideas, but this one was different. Since this was a human-centric platform, we had to build functionalities that provided a more personal touch.
Solutions & Features:
- Our Ruby on Rails developers built the perfect solutions that could match the therapist with clients based on their requirements. We added filters of location, gender, age, and specialization. It helped in providing a human touch to the platform.
- It was a unique and cool Ruby on Rails project. We incorporated and automated wellness assistant for scheduling appointments. It also offered a personalized reminder to the client for their upcoming meeting with the therapist. We added notifications and feature for real-time communication between the client and the therapist.

WeClaim in an interesting and extremely useful solution helps customers for claiming against defendant Airlines, Trains, Ferries for late/delayed or cancelled flights/ferries/trains. User can claim for lost luggage or damaged or delayed luggage.
How did our Ruby on Rails development services team complete this project?
Problems & Challenges:
- Losing luggage while travelling was one of the biggest challenges someone could face, and the client identified that. They also understood that very few travellers knew their rights.
- The client told us that they want to help people claim compensation for lost luggage and file complaints the right way. They wanted to assist people in filing for travel insurance claims.
- Such unique projects posses many challenges, one of which was to understand how to design the user-interface and integrate the claim filing process.
- We also had to carefully understand how we would build the application so that people can use it easily without getting confused.
Solutions & Features:
- Ruby on Rails application development comes in handy as it allowed our Ruby on Rails developers to build a robot lawyer which asks a series of questions. These questions are related to travel disruptions and calculate the amount of compensation instantly.
- Once the amount is calculated, the robot develops a template for the insurance claim and fills in all the details of the complaint. These are the primary documents of the process.
- We include features like location-based filtering, efficiency in claim processing, calculation of claim amount, and help people in reducing travel disruptions.

5. MAGnificent – Content Marketplace
As the name suggests, MAGnificent was one of the most brilliant Ruby on Rails projects developed by our developers at BoTree Technologies.
It is a platform for processing a large number of PDF documents in varied layouts and publishing the content to major content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Medium.com etc.
Along with Ruby on Rails, we used JQuery, MySQL, AWS, and Sinatra for building the application. Here’s what we did:-
Problems & Challenges:
- Since everyone went online, magazine publishers had a lot of opportunities to reach this audience. But our client recognized that these magazines and instructional texts didn’t have any public visibility.
- The magazine articles and information was in the form of PDF, which was not easily accessible by all. It was hard to find the information, and there was no proper way to extract this data.
- The primary challenge was to understand how to structure this data once it is extracted so that everyone can easily access it. This Ruby on Rails project was a complex one as a lot of automation had to be done.
Solutions & Features:
- The best option was to find a PDF parsing solution that can work with Ruby on Rails application development. We identified an open-source solution that could help in parsing data from PDF files.
- We developed a feature-rich platform that can extract content and information from relevant PDF files and publish them to online sources – thereby, providing print magazines with the opportunity to get more visibility and reach.
- We built a powerful and high-performing platform that enables to write multiple articles. Before release, we launched a prototype that allows users to upload files and create an article.
- On top of that, our team provided constant support and maintenance for enhancing the application whenever it was necessary.
