About the project
ZimTribes ("know your roots") is a family history and heritage platform for Zimbabwe. Families can register, build a family tree for free and keep their lineage for the generations that follow.
The platform also helps people see how they are related to one another. Often the person next to you, or your neighbour, turns out to be family. Afrikatribes takes the same idea across Africa.
How we worked
We delivered the platform as a web application, working in agile cycles so the client could review progress and steer priorities along the way.
DevOps practices supported releases, so new features reached users smoothly and on schedule.
What the platform offers
- Search by surname or totem
- Browse by province, from Harare to Matabeleland South
- Locate your clan on a map of Zimbabwe
- Register and build your own family tree
- Read articles on the history of districts and peoples
- Newsletter, member login and donations
Neucent Technologies delivered a functional web platform with the client's required functionality, boosting their response rate to customer queries. The team promptly responded to needs and concerns and delivered on time. Their ability to deliver seamless, innovative features stood out. I look forward to working with Neucent again in the future.
