The brief
Automate akkubooster’s manual quote process without investing in a huge suite the team cannot handle.
Approach
Discovery workshop with sales and warehouse, one architecture sketch, a pilot with ten regular customers — then gradual roll-out.
Tech choices
- Next.js for the customer portal (app logic needed)
- Supabase for auth, database, real-time stock
- Stripe Billing for customer-specific terms
- API to the inventory system instead of full integration
What we learned
That no mid-market company wants a platform. They want a tool that solves a concrete problem — and grows with them. That’s akkubooster today: a tool that scaled cleanly out of its first use case.
