White-label comparison platform for utilities, insurance, and financial services
CIMET operates Australia's largest white-label comparison platform, powering energy, broadband, mobile, solar, insurance, and emerging financial-services verticals across ~2.4 million B2C customers (Econnex) and B2B2C partners including Finder, Canstar, and ShopBack. The tech stack is modern polyglot — React, Next.js, Node.js/NestJS backends, Kafka/RabbitMQ for event streaming, PostgreSQL/MongoDB for persistence — with active adoption of React Query and design-system tooling (Tailwind, shadcn/ui). Current project focus on micro-frontends and scalable multi-tenant UI architecture directly addresses their stated scaling challenge; leadership-heavy hiring (3 senior, 2 lead roles) suggests consolidation around platform stability and modular design patterns rather than pure headcount growth.
CIMET is a Sydney-based white-label SaaS platform enabling consumer comparison and switching across utilities (energy, broadband, mobile, solar, battery), insurance (health), and increasingly financial services (personal loans, credit cards, home loans). The business model centers on two channels: direct B2C (via Econnex brand) and B2B2C partnerships with major Australian comparison and cashback aggregators. The platform is ISO 27001 certified and operates at scale across multiple product verticals and deployment models. Engineering organization spans frontend (React/Next.js), backend (Node.js ecosystem), data/ETL (Airflow, Prefect, AWS Glue), and infrastructure (Kubernetes, multi-cloud AWS/GCP/Azure).
React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Node.js/NestJS for frontend and backend; Kafka and RabbitMQ for event streaming; PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB for data; Kubernetes and AWS for infrastructure. Actively adopting React Query, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui.
Econnex, CIMET's B2C channel, has approximately 2.4 million customers. Additional volume flows through B2B2C partners including Finder, Canstar, ShopBack, Cashrewards, Hipages, and others.
