Case studies

What was missing, and what we built instead.

Every case here starts with the thing the client was short of. The numbers are the client’s, not ours.

  • The Itochka.pro homepage: the three audiences the platform connects, above the programme's headline figures.

    Client confidential

    Building materials

    Three audiences. Nobody introduced them.

    A building-materials manufacturer had two loyalty programs that weren’t working well enough. We didn’t improve them — we replaced them with Itochka.pro, a marketplace connecting the three audiences the business already had but had never introduced to each other.

      top installation professionals on the platform (first-phase target)

    • 1,500

      retail stores registered, 70% actively logging purchases (target)

  • The Switchgear quoting app: a kanban order board with New, Sales, Engineering, Sign-off and Quote/Won columns.

    Low-voltage switchgear manufacturer

    Electrical manufacturing

    Quoted by hand. Then not.

    A manufacturer of low-voltage electrical panels came to us with one sentence: could we help unload the director and the engineer? No CRM, no spec, no data model — just a hunch. We built the system the business was missing, in three weeks.

  • The Fabrico app home screen, with the story banner and a bestsellers rail of sewing patterns.

    Fabrico

    E-commerce / sewing patterns

    The shop was beautiful. On a phone, it wasn’t.

    Fabrico sells downloadable sewing patterns. The catalogue is good, the brand is good, the website works. What didn’t work was buying a pattern on a phone — so we rebuilt the app for the phone, from the beginning.

  • The Alfa Homework app: an AI review returning “Not accepted” with a numbered list of what to fix.

    Alfakom Learning Center

    Education

    The criteria were in the teacher’s head. That was the problem.

    A learning center ran homework review through three Telegram bots, a teacher checking by hand, and grades in a spreadsheet. The brief was to replace the bots. The real work came before the first line of app code.

  • The Talents School administrator dashboard: upcoming lessons, pending approvals and payment alerts.

    Talents Music School

    Music education

    They asked for a payment button. We looked at what they actually had.

    A music school in Minneapolis asked us to add online payments to its website. We looked first — and found the payment button wasn’t the problem. The data underneath it was.

    • 3

      roles — administrator, teacher, parent — each with their own interface

    • 2

  • The cutting-plan preview, laying a pattern across a 3×3 grid of A4 sheets with glue margins and sheet numbers.

    Fabrico

    E-commerce / sewing patterns

    A sewing pattern is full size. A home printer is not.

    A sewing pattern is designed at the size a person actually is; a home printer prints on A4. Bridging that gap is tiling — and when tiling is done badly, the finished garment fits nobody. The shop’s tool was producing tiles that didn’t line up. We rebuilt it.

  • The Rippa storefront home page, with the model slider and one-tap contact options.

    Rippa

    Construction equipment / mini-excavators

    Nobody trusts a dealer’s brochure. They trust other owners.

    A buyer about to spend $6,700 on a Chinese mini-excavator doesn’t trust the dealer’s website — they find the owners’ group. Rippa had one: eight months, 383 owners, 57,494 messages. Nobody had turned it into a website. We did.

    • 57,494
