Zero-downtime rebrand and platform migration for a fast-growing UK car finance provider

Mid-rebrand, mid-relaunch, zero downtime. BraivIQ handled the full platform migration alongside the rebrand rollout — rebuilding the finance calculator, integrating dealership lookup, reconnecting affiliate systems, and optimising the user journey end-to-end.

The challenge

Any downtime meant real revenue loss. The finance application journey had to keep flowing through the entire migration. Affiliate partnerships and dealership integrations couldn't drop a single beat. Every decision had to be made with conversion rate as the primary metric.

The approach

We worked alongside the client's product team end-to-end. Every release was gated on conversion impact, not feature completion. Affiliate and dealership integrations were rebuilt in parallel, then cut over in carefully sequenced waves.

The solution

Full platform migration completed with zero downtime.
Finance calculator rebuilt for accuracy and speed.
Dealership lookup and affiliate integrations rebuilt and expanded.
End-to-end user journey optimised for application completion.

The results

Downtime: 0 — Through the entire migration.
Conversion: Held + improved — Through the full transition.
Load performance: Materially faster — Across the new platform.
Affiliate footprint: Expanded — More integrations on the new stack.

"Zero downtime through a rebrand, a relaunch, and a migration. BraivIQ owned the AI side end-to-end and conversion held throughout." — Director of Engineering, auto finance, UK
