Handover & Empowerment

Delivered pricing and product admin controls to the client, enabling them to manage updates without code changes. Introduced team onboarding and support documentation.

THE SOLUTION

We engineered a custom price configuration platform that gives the client full autonomy over pricing and product specs.
