BRANDJECTORY

About

CLIENT BACKGROUND Our client has experience in growing brands in the CPG industry, so he decided to create his platform for sharing this experience with other early-stage brands. BUSINESS CHALLENGE The main business challenge was to complete the platform and release it on tight deadlines, so first users could test it and provide first feedbacks. Adapt plugins for users to have such functionality as a newsfeed, photos, likes, comments as in social media applications. Integrate the Stripe payment system into the platform to provide the subscriptions and receive payments. SOLUTION We created a platform that connects Brands & Investors, so they can communicate and share their own experience by creating posts, comment, and like them, etc. All you have to do is buying a subscription and you can communicate with brands/investors and search for a win-win collaboration. We accomplish this by facilitating more efficient access to capital via discovery, connection, communication, information exchange, and relationship building between business builders and capital resources. PRODUCT OVERVIEW We implemented SaaS Solution for our US Customer’s business startup - a platform for connecting brands and investors, like the combination of Linkedin and Facebook, so they could communicate, create posts, comment, and like them, etc. Hosting is on AWS, and the platform accepts only specific regions. All you need is to buy a subscription, and you can communicate with brands/investors and search for win/win collaboration. We integrated the Stripe API payment system and Stripe WebHooks for monthly and annual subscriptions. We decided to implement Stripe because of the simple admin panel and secure testing mode. Also, we have provided promo code functionality with free trial periods and discount features for subscriptions. TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION BrandJectory was created by using Oxwall, an open-source social network platform, which supports a variety of community-driven websites, from narrow fan clubs and local communities to extended social network portals. It was designed and developed with a creative approach pursuing one purpose - to allow people to work with the communities as smoothly as possible. Oxwall has a modular architecture that supports the scaling possibilities of a platform. Also, it has an event-driven architecture that helps to interact between plugins and the platform core. The main technology stack is PHP7.2, MySQL 5.2, and jQuery.
