Case Studies
Examples of portals, integrations, commerce systems, billing flows, and operational software built for day-to-day operations
Challenge
The business needed more than a standard store: hosted delivery, custom workflows, operational control, and practical asset management.
Solution
Built an OpenCart-based SaaS platform hosted on DigitalOcean with S3-backed storage and custom workflows around catalog, orders, and administration.
Result
A more ownable commerce product with clearer operational control and a cleaner separation between app logic and storage.
This project used OpenCart as a base for a proper software product rather than a one-off shop build. The platform ran on DigitalOcean and used S3-backed storage for assets and related file handling, which made the application layer easier to manage and deploy. Around that, the work covered the operating surface the business actually needed: catalog control, order handling, admin workflows, and the surrounding integration points.
Challenge
Stock lived across Lightspeed eCom and multiple suppliers, creating mismatches, overselling, and manual updates.
Solution
Built inventory sync integrations that pulled supplier availability, normalized the data, and updated Lightspeed eCom through a controlled middleware layer.
Result
Faster stock updates, less manual maintenance, and a more reliable inventory picture across channels.
This work focused on keeping stock accurate when supply data came from different external sources. Supplier feeds were normalised, mapped, and pushed through integration logic that could update Lightspeed eCom without depending on manual spreadsheet work. The important part was not only moving the numbers, but handling mismatched formats, partial updates, and day-to-day operational edge cases cleanly.
Challenge
The team wanted Mailjet-like capabilities without depending on a third-party SaaS for every template, event, and operational control.
Solution
Built a messaging platform on AWS SES and SNS with template management, webhooks, delivery events, bounces, and suppression handling.
Result
More control over transactional email flows, clearer delivery visibility, and lower vendor lock-in.
Mailhub was built as an ownable messaging layer for transactional email. AWS SES handled delivery, SNS handled event fan-out, and the product layer added the parts teams actually need to run email day to day: templates, provider configuration, bounce and complaint handling, suppression logic, webhooks, and operational insight into what was sent and why.
Challenge
Invoicing, documents, reminders, and status tracking were spread across manual steps and disconnected tools.
Solution
Built a focused invoice product handling invoice creation, recurring billing, documents, reminders, exports, and admin workflows.
Result
A cleaner billing cycle with less manual work and better visibility for operations and finance.
The invoice platform turned scattered billing work into one product surface. Instead of stitching together spreadsheets, PDFs, mailboxes, and exports, the system handles invoice creation, numbering, recurring billing logic, customer records, reminders, status tracking, PDF generation, and downstream handoff to accounting tools. That reduces repeated manual steps and gives teams a clearer view of the billing lifecycle.
