01 / Challenge

Making a complex swap process understandable.

Home swapping involves more than placing two homes side by side. Preferences, home characteristics, landlords and required documents all matter, so the product needs to reveal complexity step by step.

02 / Matching

Supporting both direct and multi-way matches.

Beyond direct matches between two households, the architecture supports three-way matching, allowing combinations that are much harder to discover manually.

03 / Documents

From checklist to secure upload flow.

Requirements differ by housing organisation. Checklists, uploads, review and technical scanning are therefore designed as separate components that remain clear for both users and administrators.

04 / Status

Active development.

RuilWijs is in active product development and staging. This case describes the implemented product and technical decisions without linking to a public production environment.
