02 / Case Studies

We solve business problems
with software.

Inkframe is in its first year, so the write ups below are concept builds: real problems, real architecture and real code, built to the same standard as client work. Full client case studies land here as our first engagements ship.

  • /Product catalogue with variants and stock levels
  • /Cart, checkout and payment gateway
  • /Order tracking and status notifications
  • /Sales and stock reporting dashboard
  • /Admin panel for pricing and promotions

Technologies used

  • /Server rendered pages for speed and SEO
  • /PostgreSQL with row level security
  • /Payment gateway integration
  • /WhatsApp and email notifications
  • /Cloud hosting with automated backups

  • /Automated confirmations and reminders
  • /Staff roster and resource assignment
  • /Deposit and payment capture
  • /Occupancy and no show reporting

Technologies used

  • /Node API with role based access control
  • /PostgreSQL with booking conflict constraints
  • /Scheduled jobs for reminders
  • /Email and SMS integration
  • /Encrypted data in transit, audit logging

Impact

Double bookings designed out at database level

Confirmations sent automatically instead of by hand

Admin time on bookings cut to a daily glance

No show patterns finally measurable
