Printing platform

The product

Printing without the trip to the shop.

The platform turns document printing into an online ordering experience. Customers upload their files, configure exactly how they want them printed, pay online, and receive the finished documents through a local delivery workflow.

The challenge

Connect a digital order to a physical operation.

The difficult part wasn't simply building an online checkout. Every order had to move from a customer's browser into a real printing operation, with the right files, print requirements, payment status, branch, and delivery information.

The order

From upload to doorstep.

The entire customer journey is connected: upload the document, configure the print, see the price, pay, route the order to a nearby printing location, print it, and deliver it.

Print configuration

Printing is more than uploading a file.

Customers can configure the details of their print job before placing an order. The platform uses those choices to calculate the final price and create the instructions required by the printing operation.

Local fulfillment

Built around nearby printing.

Location is part of the product rather than an afterthought. The platform connects customers with nearby printing operations so digital orders can move quickly into physical fulfillment.

Document handling

The file only stays as long as it's needed.

Customer documents are stored securely in AWS S3 during the printing workflow and automatically deleted after printing is complete.

Checkout

Payment connected to fulfillment.

Razorpay is integrated into the checkout flow so payment confirmation becomes part of the order lifecycle rather than a separate manual step.

Operations

The other half of the product.

Behind the customer experience is an administrative platform for managing orders, customers, products, pricing, branches, payments, and delivery operations.

Notifications

Customers know what's happening.

Email and WhatsApp notifications keep customers informed as their order moves through the printing and delivery lifecycle.

Under the hood

A digital layer over a physical workflow.

The platform connects the customer application and admin experience to backend APIs, database services, secure document storage, payments, location services, and notifications.
