Fast and straightforward access to the dpa Marketplace

Development of a centralized and user-friendly platform for the services and tools of the German Press Agency (dpa). The platform is designed to provide quick and easy access to relevant dpa offerings such as dpa-Select and dpa-Agenda. Factorial’s tech consulting experts worked closely with the dpa team in a collaborative development process.


The challenge was to redesign an existing service from the user’s perspective and create an intuitive application that simplifies centralized access to dpa services for existing customers, partners, and internal employees.

Real-time notifications and bundling

Factorial developed the dpa ID App – a native mobile app for Android as well as for iOS. The app uses code sharing with existing components from dpa-Select and dpa-Agenda, and is integrated into the AWS Microservice architecture of dpa. The core service consists of an SSO (Single Sign On Service) and an optimised user interface.

A real-time push service was also implemented, which allows users to have topics they’re interested in sent to their smartphones as real-time notifications. This consolidates access for all users in a new communication channel known as “dpa market place”.
