Powering a Decade of Subscription Commerce Innovation
In today's fast-paced digital economy, businesses need more than just a vendor; they need a strategic technology partner dedicated to their long-term success. This case study highlights our decade-long relationship with a leading German pioneer in subscription commerce. It demonstrates our ability to not only deliver complex, mission-critical software but to serve as a reliable, integral extension of our client's team, mitigating their technical risks and fueling their continuous innovation.
1. Client Profile & Challenge
Our client is a German pioneer in subscription commerce, supporting diverse B2C subscription models across regulated industries like LOTTO, healthcare, and payment processing. They also provide essential business services, including lead generation, digital marketing campaigns, and CRM solutions.
As a high-growth specialist operating in multiple high-stakes sectors, the client required a trusted, long-term technology partner capable of acting as an integral offshore development team. Their core challenge was the need to rapidly develop, continuously maintain, and seamlessly integrate a suite of highly complex, mission-critical products to manage the entire subscription lifecycle.
2. Our Solution: Building a Partnership for the Long Term
For over a decade, we have served not just as a vendor, but as our customer's dedicated technology partner and offshore development team.
Our deep relationship is built on an incredibly stable and reliable foundation. This includes our core technical talents, skills, and experience, secured by clear processes, contracts, and NDAs, providing the customer with trust, compliance, and guaranteed expertise from day one.
The stability of this partnership is guaranteed by a dedicated and consistent team, encompassing critical resources in architecture, project management, and development. This mutual long-term commitment allows us to function as a seamless, integrated extension of the customer's business, ensuring minimal turnover and maximum efficiency.
This commitment has enabled us to take complete ownership of the customer's technical roadmap and talent management risks. By providing this stable technological backbone and mitigating key operational risks, we empower the customer's internal team to focus their entire energy on core business growth and market strategy. This robust structure ultimately drives our consistent track record: the successful delivery of products, continuous maintenance, and reliable support.
We successfully developed and currently maintain four core, interlinked products that form the backbone of their operations:
-
Subscription-Based CRM Platform (Odoo Extension): We built a comprehensive CRM, tailored as an Odoo extension, that manages the entire customer and contract lifecycle, from initial sign-up to settlement. Key features include contract creation, invoice generation, payment processing, and call center integration. The platform was implemented for both community LOTTO and a medical support IoT product.
-
Bulk Payment Processing System: An independent, mission-critical system integrated with the CRM. It handles bulk processing of SEPA direct debits and credit card payments, ensuring compliance and efficiency for high-volume financial transactions.
-
Advanced Mass Email Communication Tool: A proprietary communication engine built to support advanced templating and data binding with complex data types (including arrays and images) for sophisticated, personalized communications like the mass delivery of digital invoices.
-
Community-Based LOTTO System: A complete end-to-end system for managing group lottery participation across Germany and Europe. The system handles community pooling, ticket purchases from official agencies, calculates winnings, and uses the CRM for automated payouts and settlements.
