- Customer-Facing Platform: Online quote generation engine with pricing metrics; selection flows for varying plan dimensions (Bin, closet, rooms); itemized customer storage vaults; Stripe subscription billing handlers.
- Operations & Sub-Systems: Logistics backend management console; Google Maps routing setups; student seasonal storage booking flow (students.stowsimple.com); commercial bin rental checkout flow (rent-moving-boxes.stowsimple.com).
Overview
Built a multi-system operations platform on CodeIgniter covering the full customer lifecycle — from online quote generation and plan selection through to item-level inventory tracking, Stripe subscription billing, and an admin dashboard for day-to-day operations — plus two additional sub-systems for student storage and bin rentals.
Business Problem
A Miami-based valet storage startup needed a complete digital operations platform — not just a marketing website, but a full system where customers could get quotes, choose storage plans, schedule pickups, track their stored items, and manage billing automatically — while the operations team had a backend to manage all customer inventory, subscriptions, and logistics in one place.
