Platform and System Development
Turn processes scattered across spreadsheets and inboxes into dependable software.
01Overview
As businesses grow, critical processes often still run on spreadsheets, chat groups and manual hand-offs: orders copied between sheets, weekly reports compiled by hand, customer and supplier data held by individuals. Off-the-shelf software covers only part of the need or will not talk to existing systems.
This service spans industry portals, SaaS products you sell, internal management systems, executive dashboards and the APIs that connect everything. All of them need a solid data model, clear permissions and an architecture that can evolve.
We map business objects, workflows and roles before choosing technology, and plan multi-tenancy, audit logs, background jobs and API authentication from the first release.
02Who it is for
Growing companies run on spreadsheets
Orders, projects, inventory or customers still flow through Excel and chat; they need a system that fits.
Teams launching a SaaS product
Domain expertise and a product idea; need multi-tenancy, subscription billing and permissions from scratch.
Associations and vertical portals
News, company directories, supply-and-demand listings or member services at scale with tiered management.
Companies with siloed systems
ERP, CRM, OA and commerce systems that do not share data, needing integration and unified dashboards.
03Core modules
Domain modeling and workflows
Orders, contracts, tickets and projects modeled with configurable states and approvals, so process changes need less code.
Organization and permissions
Org charts, roles and data permissions down to field level, with WeCom, DingTalk or LDAP single sign-on.
Multi-tenant SaaS
Tenant isolation, per-tenant settings and branding, plans and feature flags, subscription billing and renewals.
Dashboards and reports
Agreed metric definitions, filterable drill-down dashboards and scheduled reports pushed to WeCom or email.
APIs and integration
REST or GraphQL APIs connecting ERP, CRM, payments, SMS and e-signature, with published documentation.
Background jobs and queues
Imports, exports, batch calculations and syncs run asynchronously with retries, progress and failure alerts.
Audit logs and data security
Traceable key actions, encrypted sensitive fields, regular backups and restore drills for compliance baselines.
Portal content management
News, directories, listings and member services managed together, with sub-sites, tiered review and search.

07What drives the quote
Every scope differs; we quote once we understand the requirements.
Modules and complexity
More modules, workflow branches and approval rules mean more design and build effort.
Roles and permission granularity
Simple roles versus field- and data-scope permissions differ markedly in cost.
Integration and migration
Number and quality of external APIs, plus the size and cleanliness of historical data.
Non-functional requirements
Concurrency, availability, security classification and on-premise deployment shape architecture and testing.
08FAQ
Can we start with unclear requirements?
Yes. We recommend a paid discovery and design phase that produces workflows, prototypes and phase-one scope before committing to a build plan.
Can it run on our own servers?
Yes. Deployments are containerized and can run in your Alibaba Cloud or Tencent Cloud account or data center, with scripts and runbooks provided.
How are later changes handled?
Volatile parts such as approvals, fields and reports are configurable; anything beyond that is estimated and built in iterations.
Who owns the code and IP?
On acceptance and payment, the custom source code and documentation are yours to maintain, extend or register. Open-source components keep their own licenses.
