About the Client
Overview
GeekyAnts partnered with Digi Vendor to deliver an end-to-end web platform built on a monolithic architecture using Next.js, Node.js, and Supabase. The project involved the design, development, and deployment of a responsive landing page, a feature-rich user web app, and an admin web app.
Despite a strict 12-week delivery clause, the project was completed on time, launching successfully with zero blockers and earning client confidence through structured documentation and transparent collaboration.
BUSINESS REQUIREMENT
Digi Vendor sought to modernize its digital ecosystem by developing a unified platform that would streamline operations and enable lead generation, route management, and subscription-based access to vending resources.
The solution needed to support scalability, operational efficiency, and secure integration with third-party services.
Key Requirements
1. Develop a Landing Page featuring dedicated hero sections to communicate value propositions and drive user engagement.
2. Build a User Web App with modules for Vend Lead, Vend Route, Vend Market, Home, and Subscription to facilitate end-to-end business operations for users.
3. Create an Admin Web App with modules for Lead, Route, User, and Subscription Management to ensure seamless backend control and operational efficiency.
4. Integrate Clerk for user authentication and access management, Stripe for handling secure subscription payments, and Strapi for content management and dynamic data updates.
5. Complete the entire project within a strict 12-week timeline, with a penalty clause to ensure on-time delivery and adherence to project milestones.
OUR SOLUTION
GeekyAnts delivered a comprehensive web-based SaaS platform that unified Digi Vendor’s user and admin experiences. The solution allowed users to explore, purchase, and manage vending leads, routes, and marketplace items while enabling administrators to control user access, content, and subscriptions seamlessly.
Automation was introduced through Google Forms and App Script pipelines for data collection and n8n workflows for onboarding and subscription management. The result was a scalable, high-performance platform that enhanced efficiency, reliability, and data accuracy across operations.
CHALLENGES IN EXECUTION & SOLUTIONS
We managed to deliver within the project deadline through robust project planning and clear scope alignment, ensuring that milestones were well-defined and achievable. Our dedicated team established regular feedback cycles and maintained structured documentation to create clarity, streamline approvals, and keep the design process efficient, addressing inconsistent client feedback effectively.
Frequent change requests that introduced scope variations were managed through proper CR documentation, the use of feature toggles, and phased rollouts, allowing the team to integrate changes without disrupting stability or quality.
