The Challenge

GKW designs and installs complex automated gates. As the business scaled, their legacy systems became a bottleneck. They were relying on memory, paper notes, and a partially broken off-the-shelf CRM that couldn't handle their specific workflow.

The Breaking Point

"We didn't know who was doing what, or when. Admin was eating up our weekends."

Data Chaos

Data was scattered across fragmented systems. Finding a client's history took minutes, not seconds.

Manual Overload

Admin staff spent hours manually cross-referencing paper diaries with digital records.

No Visibility

There was no clear visibility over who was doing what, or when projects would be completed.

Workflow Bottlenecks

Job tracking relied heavily on people's memory, creating delays and confusion.

From Fragmented Data to a Unified Digital Ecosystem.

We moved beyond the limitations of off-the-shelf software to architect a bespoke solution that maps 1:1 with GKW's operational reality.

By leveraging React for a lightning-fast frontend and a robust cloud architecture, we engineered a platform that serves as the single source of truth for the entire company.

Digitized the entire job lifecycle, reducing human error to near zero.

Task Details Interface
Monthly Reports Dashboard

The interface was designed with GKW's daily workflows in mind. The scheduler view gives instant visibility over engineer availability and job assignments, while the client profile centralizes all project history, communications, and documentation in one place. Every interaction was optimized to reduce clicks and cognitive load.
