Expense Tracking Platform for Acubiz
Client and Business Goals:
Back in 2019, serial entrepreneurs and wine enthusiasts Marco and Thomas launched a new joint business to operate in the international winery market. The business is aimed to connect customers directly with local wineries, simplify the purchase process, and avoid middlemen’s surcharges.
Product Description:

Applied Technologies:
Angular 10, Webcomponents, Nginx, Linux, manual testing, Agile management framework
Project Highlights:
- Providing a complex solution for expense tracking system
- Integrating with legacy systems (IBM Domino) via API
EU tax legislation compliance
One of the main tech challenges was automatic price generation in accordance with the particular country tax policy and extra charges. We have provided a solution that takes into account the customs charges & delivery expenses and calculates the relevant final price for each of 9 countries of delivery. All tax & shipping documentation is created automatically in the seller’s account.
Comprehensive business analysis to meet strict deadlines
Rapid 1st phase release was the client’s strategic goal. Initially, a ready-made solution was planned to be used. However, business analysis has shown that some key features can not be covered by a third-party constructor. Based on the BA documentation we’ve managed to adapt the tech stack promptly and save time during the development process. As a result, the MVP 1st stage took 1.5 months.
Providing a complex solution both for online and offline shopping
In addition to the international marketplace, we have also created a solution that each winery can use for offline shopping. Sales Point Scan&Shop turns wine sellers’ tablets into the catalog with checkout for their shops. Winery visitors can make the order right in the winery shop, and receive it upon coming back home.
