[ Client work ]

Real businesses. Systems that work together.

We design and build the websites, apps and business systems our clients run on every day. Here is what we built for Eezze Build and Bid2Buy Auctioneers.

[ Our solution ]

One connected flow.
Clear responsibility at every step.

Every system we build follows the same shared workflow. Requests, approvals, delivery and reporting are connected, automation handles the routine updates, and people stay in control of the decisions.

[ Case study 01 · Eezze Build ]

One connected platform for a seven-branch hardware business.

Eezze Build supplies building materials and hardware from seven branches across Botswana. We built the digital side of the business end to end: how customers find Eezze Build, how they buy, and how staff run the work behind every order.

The brief

Give customers one place to shop every branch at that branch’s own prices and stock, online or from their phone, and give staff one system for the work behind every sale, from the first enquiry to the finished order.

Our approach

We started with how customers actually buy and how each team works. The website, the online store, the mobile app and the staff dashboard all share the same products, prices, customers and orders, so nothing has to be entered twice.

[ What we built for Eezze Build ]

Four products. One way of working.

Each product does its own job, and together they connect the customer’s experience with the team’s day-to-day work.

Corporate website

The Eezze Build brand online: who they are, their branches, news and updates, resources, careers and contact details, with a direct path into the online shop.

Multi-branch e-commerce store

Customers choose their branch and shop at that branch’s prices and stock. They can request a quotation and check out for delivery or for collection from their branch.

In beta

Mobile shopping app

A native mobile experience that extends the store: branch prices and stock, a catalogue that opens even without signal, quotations, checkout, live delivery tracking on a map, and a push notification for every order update.

Operations Dashboard for Windows

The Windows app the company is run from, installed on each staff PC. Staff sign in once on an approved PC and see only the screens their role is granted. It keeps working when the connection drops, catches up when it returns, and updates itself.

What it covers

Orders, refunds and discount approvals

Quotations from the website, the counter and the lobby kiosk, sent as PDF or turned into orders

Leads, customers and CRM, with handovers between agents

Products, branch prices and price history

Deals, promotions and sales targets

Marketing campaigns by email, SMS, push and WhatsApp

One inbox for Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp and website chat

Deliveries: our own trucks, a driver marketplace, a live map and inter-branch transfers

Call monitoring with call history and recordings

Customer complaints, product reviews and an IT service desk

Customer projects and follow-ups

HR: employees, attendance and payroll

Analytics on leads, quotations, orders and team performance

Staff usage reports and activity history

Built-in step-by-step guide for every screen

Connected systems

The dashboard is the front desk for the systems the business already runs on.

8 See all connected systems

The Eezze Build website (WordPress and WooCommerce): products, orders, customers and sign-in

Kerridge K8 point of sale: branch prices, counter quotations and delivery paperwork

3CX phone system: call history and recordings

Meta: the Facebook Page, Messenger and WhatsApp

Gmail: counter quotations collected from the company mailbox

SMS gateway, email and push notifications for campaigns

The customer shopping app and the drivers’ delivery app

Lobby kiosk tablets: kiosk quotations and video calls

AI built in

AI takes on the reading, listening and first answers, and people make the decisions.

5 See where AI is used

A website chat assistant answers shoppers from the live catalogue at any hour, then hands over to a person

Recorded sales calls are transcribed by AI

AI reads Kerridge K8 quotation and delivery documents, so nobody retypes them

AI reads printed promotion flyers to build a deal’s product list for review

An AI image upscaler enlarges product and marketing artwork to 4K, entirely on the PC

Automation

Routine work happens in the background, so the team can focus on customers.

8 See what runs automatically

Counter quotations are imported from Gmail every few minutes and assigned to the right branch and agent

Work saved offline is sent automatically when the connection returns

Every PC checks for new versions, verifies them and updates itself

Campaigns can be scheduled, and unsubscribed customers are left out automatically

Usage reports are emailed to managers every week and every month

Live alerts arrive as Windows notifications and screens refresh on their own

IT tickets are prioritised automatically by impact and urgency

Permission changes reach every running PC without anyone signing out

The brief

Bring every part of running an auction into one system, from the goods in the warehouse and the auction calendar to registrations, payments and invoices, and make it simple and safe for the team to use every day.

Our approach

We mapped the auction from end to end, then built one system around it, with a dashboard for each person involved: the admin team, the sellers and the buyers. The same system powers the website, the Windows app and the mobile app.

[ What we built for Bid2Buy ]

Everything an auction needs, in one system.

From the warehouse floor to auction day and the final invoice, every step happens in the same connected system.

Corporate website

The Bid2Buy brand online: how the auction process works, upcoming auctions, news and updates, and a clear route for new bidders to register and start bidding.

Auction management system

The system the whole auction business runs on.

Warehouse and goods received

Auction scheduling

Participant registration

Seller and buyer dashboards

Finance and accounting

Auction-day carousel

Invoicing and statements

Reports and more

Auction Dashboard for Windows

A native Windows installer for the admin team. Admins open the system like any desktop program, with no browser and no web addresses to mistype, and get a simpler, consistent look and feel on every screen.

In development

Mobile app

Makes it easy to find auction schedules, browse item and lot lists, and take part in online auctions straight from a phone.

In testing

Live online bidding is being tested now. When it is ready, it plugs straight into the auction system, so bidders can take part from anywhere: on the web or through the app.

[ What both projects share ]

Built the same way, whatever the business.

One source of truth

Websites, apps and staff tools share the same data, so customers and teams always see the same products, prices and records.

Access by role

Everyone signs in once and sees only the work their role allows, from sales to finance and HR.

Built for real conditions

The desktop apps keep working when the connection drops and catch up automatically when it returns.

Always up to date

The apps check for new versions and update themselves safely, so every PC and phone runs the latest build.
