Laravel Development

Project Goal

The client approached us for the designing and development of the group video and image-sharing website. The requirements of the client are mentioned below:

• Required a SAAS online application that would allow many users to register in order to view, create, modify, and share movies and photos.
• Uploaded movies and photos can be public or private
• Users can follow each other on the website’s home page to receive notifications and feeds.
• Payment Integration

Solution

To meet the demands of the client, our development team built a Laravel-based SAAS web online application for a group video montage. Our graphic designer created wireframes and a design mockup template of the website and implemented the changes once they get finalized by the client.

The design of the website is mobile compatible, readable, and has good typography. We created a custom dashboard for the users to create new videos and manage the others. With the dashboard, users can invite their friends, send video gifts, and more. We did frontend development and backend development along with designing.

✔️ Create Special Group Videos

The users can create their first video by signing up for the group video-sharing website. They can specify the event for which the videos are required, write an invitation message, set a deadline, title, and featured image. Users who have registered can edit their onsite profile names and photos. They may upload videos, choose background music, patterns, and photos, adjust the volume, equalizers, font, and text, and more.

Users can also add thumbnails of their choice and, if necessary, recreate videos on the platform. It provides a personalized URL for the completed video that you may share with whomever you like.

✔️ Invite Friends

Users can invite friends and family to join them on the bespoke SAAS website for video montage and video uploading. Invitations can be sent via email or social media platforms like Facebook and Whatsapp. The video maker has the ability to copy the video’s URL and share it with anyone, via any channel. A video’s creator can choose whether to make it public or private. 

✔️ Edit Videos

The participants can rearrange the video clips in the timeline with a drag and drop option. Also, the users can edit the videos by adding music, adding a background screen, or trim/merge the videos.

✔️ Custom Payment Integration

The client receives a tiered access system for income generation from our custom SAAS video montage website. Users can make up to three videos for free, after which they must upgrade to the paid edition of the platform. In the free mode, the final video may only be viewed on YouTube.

The premium version allows you to create unlimited media files and access the videos straight from the platform’s server. We used custom payment gateway integration for both PayPal and Skrill payment processing.

✔️ Final words

So, this was about custom SAAS web application development which benefited our client from exceptional business agility in a shorter time. If you are also looking for the SAAS web application development then you can contact us.

“Outstanding job since the first day and all along these 12 months of work. The team from The Brihaspati Infotech is very professional, responsible, and easy to communicate with. Fast response, and pleasant people to talk to: polite or agreeable.  We had as many Google meetings as I requested, just to make sure we were on the right path and ahead of schedule. And they were all the way willing to go the extra mile.They did much more than requested. Since this is not my field of expertise, many times they researched for me what was the best solution for my problems, not charging extra for that… So they don’t just DO it, but they THINK to really collaborate with the project.
Really satisfied with how the work came out – thanks Raman Kumar, Nishant Seghal, Kunal, Deepak, and all the team. Great job! Will hire again, for sure.”

Project Goal

Ignoring influencer marketing strategies is not a wise idea for any eCommerce website. Though there is an old-school practice of approaching celebrities for it, every eCommerce business can’t afford it. We needed to develop a solution to enable eCommerce stores to benefit from influencer marketing using the reach of their customers.

Our role in our client’s success story was to develop a SAAS tool that helps to add a custom field to capture Instagram handles on any form used to capture emails or phone numbers of the customers. We also successfully integrated popular marketing automation platforms with our custom-built SAAS platform.

Solution

✔️ A SAAS tool to convert customers into influencers

The online stores were missing the huge opportunity to harness the power of customer-focused influencer marketing for their businesses. So we created a SAAS tool that can provide an option to capture the Instagram handles of the customers with insights about their reach.

Whenever any eCommerce store integrates Gatsby, it provides an additional field on pop-up forms to enter the Instagram handles. You can see how this option displays on the targeted forms in the below image.

✔️ Enabling the tool to identify Instagram handles with potential.

The data collected using Gatsby was meaningless without an effective way to analyze profile metrics. We created a custom dashboard so that it becomes easy for the website owners to identify the profiles capable of making any difference. It enables the merchants to pick up the most suitable profiles and invite them to become an influencer for his brand.

The dashboard created by our developing team was capable of providing the following information:-

• The number of followers on each Instagram handle.
• The number of people followed by each Instagram handle.
• The number of posts by a user on his profile.
• A scoring system to identify the profiles with potential.
• Email and Bio of the users who provide information about their handles.

✔️ Tracking the reach of the Instagram posts mentioning the brand name

We helped Gatsby develop a custom feature to help merchants see and analyze the reach of posts where customers mention their brand. We integrated the abilities to capture the metrics like the number of likes, comments, and engagement of every such Instagram post.

Another thing that we worked out was communicating this information to the rest of the technologies like Klaviyo or Gorgias. It enables the merchants to see these metrics on the dashboard of these technologies too.

✔️ Tracking the engagement rate metrics of the influencers

The eCommerce stores have to offer rewards or discounts to the customers engaging themselves in influencer marketing. It made it vital to keep track of the engagement rates. We offered a custom feature to provide the metrics about engagements.

✔️ Enabling the integration with Marketing Automation Platforms

Though the tool was efficient enough to capture and demonstrate the data generated through Instagram engagement by customers, we needed to find a solution to integrate it with popular marketing automation platforms.

Though the tool was efficient enough to capture and demonstrate the data generated through Instagram engagement by customers, we needed to find a solution to integrate it with popular marketing automation platforms.

Over these years, we facilitated the integration of Gatsby with more than twenty-five different apps and web services. We are constantly working to enable the integration of this SAAS tool with all popular platforms that are yet to join the list.

The goal behind it is to enable the merchants to see the data on the dashboards of these automation platforms so that they can send emails, promotions, or messages to potential influencers.

✔️ Integrating payments to facilitate different subscription plans

Our team worked on providing four different subscription plans for this SAAS tool. The plans are designed after careful consideration of the needs of different eCommerce websites. We integrated the Shopify payments to facilitate the payment made by users while buying any of the four subscriptions plans available for Gatsby.

✔️ Providing ongoing maintenance

Our team is helping with the ongoing maintenance of this tool and help the client to add new features to Gatsby at regular intervals. We make sure that this tool remains free from bugs or problems while ensuring the latest safety features to protect the valuable data of the customers that it captures alongside the various marketing automation tools on eCommerce stores.

✔️ Final words

During our years of relationship with the client, we have become important members of the whole Gatsby team and always helped them to find effective solutions to implement the ideas that strike their minds. We are working with them continuously to develop Gatsby into the world’s leading influencer marketing platform for eCommerce businesses.

“Hard working team. Talented. Great attitude! Awesome experience … highly recommend!”

Project Goal

Live chat software can turn into a powerful tool for timely customer support that boosts your brand. There is tremendous growth in several online platforms and apps using the live chat features. The third-party solutions may seem like great solutions, but you always have to compromise for functionalities.

Our client was not ready for such compromises and wanted to offer custom live chat widgets with some unique functionalities hard to find with any other live chat widgets that you may have seen. The project itself was a unique experience for our team as we are about to extend the functionalities of the chat widget beyond imagination.

Solution

After getting the complete details from the client, we decided to use Laravel to build his custom chat widget. The client had already shared a long list of unique functionalities with us, and our engineered applied their unmatched expertise to achieve them within tight deadlines. Below are some of the functionalities we added for admin and users of our client’s custom chat plugin.

For the users

Project Goal

Networking plays a vital role in modern business, and digital business cards are becoming a great way to build a strong professional network. Times are gone when we used to share paper cards, and there is an increasing demand for digital solutions that help people build and share digital cards.

We got a chance to work with a client who wanted to develop a similar solution. The motive was to facilitate the users of his platform to create, edit, share and grow using the digital business cards. Our goal was to create and equip his platform with unique functionalities that users will not find anywhere else.

Solution

After understanding the project requirements, now was the time to brainstorm the technologies to achieve the exact output. Though we had plenty of options to make it happen, we decided to go with Laravel as nothing can match its efficiency for building similar solutions.

We started the project by sharing the mockups for the platform, and after deciding on the UI and UX features, our dedicated team started crafting the final product. Let’s look at some exceptional features integrated by our team that make the client platform unique from the rest of the competition.

Project Goal

Risks lurking in your preferred destinations often haunt your travel plans. It is crucial to analyze such risks before visiting any destination. Our client wanted a web platform that can help people visiting any state in Nigeria to know and get alerted of the risks they can face while visiting the focal locations.

The aim was to provide a one-stop solution to pay close attention to unsafe routes, black spots, local laws and customs, health conditions, and other details to decide whether traveling to that region is right or not. The portal was also supposed to provide emergency contacts in the area of visit.

Solution

After understanding the exact requirements for the platform that the client wanted to build, it was time to choose the most suitable technologies. Though we had many choices, our expert decided to use Laravel for the frontend, Vue.JS for the backend, and MySQL for creating a database.

Building a portal with the capability to display real-time data from all states of a country was not easy. However, our experience in delivering such platforms helped us figure out many unique features for this risk control platform. Let’s go through some of the solutions we implemented for this platform.

Project Goal

The ability to offer personalized products is an added strength for any eCommerce business because a majority of consumers prefer to buy products on platforms where they can customize the products. We got a chance to work with a client who has a hammock manufacturing business and wanted to provide a tailored experience to the customers through a unique online store.

Our goal was to build a unique online store from scratch and equip it with features to provide an impeccable user experience instead of a single, vast experience of the whole product range. Apart from product customization, there were a few more custom functionalities that the client has listed with intentions to expand the reach and growth of his business.

Solution

After conducting the initial sessions to understand his exact requirements, the next priority was identifying the technologies to help us turn them into a fully functional online store. The options were infinite, but we decided to build our backend using Laravel and Frontend using Vue JS.

The motive behind choosing these technologies is to minimize the development time while having added protection from technical Vulnerabilities. Moreover, they are the most trusted technologies to offer impressive visuals and interactions for both store admin and users. Let’s walk through some noteworthy solutions we came up with during this project.

Project Goal

The client requested a media-sharing platform where multiple users can register and share videos and images with their followers. They also wanted users to be able to choose between public and private access to their media, giving them complete control over the display of their information.

• Public content should be visible to all other users of the website.
• Separate profile for users with name and picture.
• Users can only see a private item of other users if that user has shared the link of that item with that particular user. 
• Follow/Unfollow users.

However, establishing a platform that could handle high bandwidth, website load, and enormous volumes of data while also offering fluent responses was a challenge. 

Solution

After understanding the complete requirement of the client, our development team started the process. For ease of use, the website required a structured, streamlined UI/UX flow as well as reliable backend functions.

Therefore, our development team used the Laravel framework to develop a real-time web application from scratch. To make the whole process time saving and hassle-free, we decided to distribute the access of this platform into two user roles:

• User 
• Admin

✔️ User

Every end-user on the platform can signup and log in using the Facebook or Google Account.  The key goal of this platform was to provide users with quick, interactive functionality while maintaining high security for their data and personal information.

This platform provides a separate profile to every user where they can post the content and filter them public or private. The users can enjoy the following features:

✔️ No advertisements on content

By using this platform, the user will be able to offer the content without any extra distractions. The absence of advertisements helps viewers to enjoy the final product. This Web application gives complete freedom to the users to showcase their professional work without any interruption.

✔️ Superb Quality

️This platform hosts the content of the users in the highest possible quality. The UI appears to be contemporary, sleek, and professional. WEBM, MOV, MP4, and MPEG are among the video formats supported by this platform.  The users can post the images in PNG, JPEG, JPG, and GIF format.

✔️ Secure Privacy Preferences

It provides the users a variety of privacy choices, including the ability to control who can see or access your posts. The platform’s advanced privacy controls provide content creators with the protection and peace of mind they need to provide a better user experience.

Users can mark the uploaded images/videos as public or private. Public content will be visible to all other users of the website. But, private content should not be visible to other users. Users can send the link of the private item to the particular user. 

✔️ Storage

Our development team made sure that the images and videos posted by multiple users are stored safely in AWS S3 Bucket. 

✔️ Customization

This platform provides the best viewing experience.  It allows the users to customize the look and edit the video information. While editing, the users can change their video as well as upload a new video.

✔️ Admin

The major goal of developing this module was to allow the client to keep track of the content and activity of their website’s visitors. We created a separate admin login for the client so that they could have secure and convenient access to the Admin Panel. The client can have complete retention over the user accounts through the Admin panel. They can also edit and delete the media files the users have submitted on the site. 

The admin can monitor the user engagement from the dashboard. They could quickly block any user and monitor their media content as well as platform interactions. The admin can manage the users, videos, and images posted by the user.

Apart from it, the Website has separate sections for video content and images with search options.

One of the important aspects that led to the project’s success was TBI’s team’s demonstrated deep competence in WordPress. We’ve been working on similar technologies for a long time, and we were able to effectively complete this project to add a new milestone for TBI.

“Excellent work and communication. Already planning my next project to work with them again. Very good.”

Project Goal

The insurance industry is going through a transformation using modern technologies and services. Though there are a lot of digital platforms and apps to facilitate the insurance carriers and agencies managing their day-to-day operations, they all have shortcomings.

These shortcomings made our client look for a platform that can act as a one-stop solution for professionals and companies working in the insurance sector. He was looking for a digital platform with specific functionalities to help the insurance market and its activities grow by leaps and bounds.

Solution

We did rigorous sessions with the client to understand the functionalities he wishes to add to his solution and how we can make it unique from already existing platforms and apps for insurance professionals. The client wanted us to build a platform with the capability to serve large insurance companies and individual agents simultaneously.

We decided to use Laravel to build this solution as this framework had already helped us deliver robust solutions for different industry verticals. To achieve the functionalities listed by the client, we decided to use APIs from Twilio and Quickblox. Let’s look at some features we added to satisfy the project requirements.
