Vendraw

Type

Software as a Service (SaaS) Platform

Industry

Business Services / Workflow Automation (applicable to consulting, freelancing, marketing agencies, and enterprise operations across multiple sectors)

Business Challenge

Freelancers and agencies often face issues with unclear client expectations, endless email chains for feedback, delayed or non-payments after delivering work, and lack of version control, leading to up to 90% more back-and-forth communication, 50% higher revision rates, and significant bad debt risks that slow down operations and erode profitability.

Kromeon Solution

  • Kromeon was engaged to design and build the entire Vendraw platform from the ground up, following an agile development process. This included initial requirements gathering through stakeholder workshops to identify pain points in vendor-client interactions, followed by wireframing and prototyping for user-centric interfaces. Iterative sprints involved backend development for secure data handling and payment integrations, frontend enhancements for collaborative features, and rigorous testing phases (unit, integration, and user acceptance) to ensure reliability. Post-launch, Kromeon provided deployment support and initial monitoring to optimize performance, resulting in a fully functional platform that addressed all core challenges.

Key Features

  • Secure proposal uploading with e-signature integration for quick client approvals.

  • Centralized draft sharing and feedback collection to minimize email exchanges.

  • Deliverable locking mechanism that gates access until payment is confirmed.

  • Automated invoice generation and tracking with real-time status updates.

  • Transparent version history and approval workflows to reduce revisions by 50%.

  • QuickBooks integration for seamless billing synchronization

Technologies

  • Frontend: React.js for responsive, interactive user interfaces.

  • Backend: Node.js with Express.js for scalable API development and real-time features.

  • Database: PostgreSQL for secure, relational data storage and version tracking.

  • Integrations: Stripe for payment processing and QuickBooks API for accounting sync.

  • Cloud Infrastructure: AWS for hosting, ensuring scalability and security.

  • Additional Tools: Docker for containerization and Git for version control

Project Scope

  • Full-stack development of the Vendraw platform, including UI/UX design, core workflow modules (proposals, feedback, approvals, payments), integrations with third-party services, security implementations (e.g., encryption and authentication), and initial scalability setup for up to 10,000 users. Excluded ongoing maintenance beyond the first 3 months
