The challenge

Estimates in spreadsheets, orders re-entered in Shopify, commissions tracked by email.

The team was building estimates manually, then re-entering approved quotes as Shopify orders by hand. Each estimate had a customer attached, but there was no clean way to link that to the Shopify side. Commissions were calculated separately, often wrong, and never transparent.

Beyond the inefficiency, there was a permissions problem. Not every user should be able to edit cost data — but without a proper system, there was no way to enforce that. Admins needed control over who could see sensitive margins, without blocking the rest of the team from doing their job.

Our approach

A full-stack platform where every step connects.

We built a React SPA with a Laravel API behind it. The flow: admins onboard users and assign permissions (including who can edit costs). Users build estimates in the app. When an estimate is approved, the system creates the corresponding Shopify order with the right customer context already attached.

Commission is calculated automatically from profit on each estimate, using per-user rules that admins configure. Every user can see their own commission history and current earnings in a clear dashboard. The audit log captures every change — what was changed, who changed it, and when.

The results

After the platform went live.

Operational improvements measured against the previous spreadsheet-based workflow.

1
Connected workflow
Single flow from estimate creation to Shopify order — no manual re-entry, no lost customer context.
Granular
Permission control
Admins control exactly who can view or edit cost data — no blanket access for sensitive margins.
Auto
Commission tracking
Commissions calculated from profit per estimate using admin-configured rules — transparent and audit-logged.

What used to take an hour of back-and-forth between spreadsheets and Shopify now happens inside the app in minutes. And everyone can see their commissions without having to ask.
