Prototype Lab & how we deliver

TYPICAL PROBLEM (ILLUSTRATIVE)

A mid-sized manufacturing group was running sales, operations, finance and risk reporting out of four disconnected spreadsheets, which meant leadership decisions were always a week behind reality. Executives had no single source of truth and spent hours each Monday reconciling numbers that rarely agreed.

WHAT THE PROTOTYPE DOES

We designed and built an Executive Business Command Centre that consolidates every critical metric into one real-time dashboard, refreshed continuously from the underlying ERP, CRM and finance systems. Leadership can now open a single screen and immediately see revenue, pipeline, open risk items and headcount side by side.

TECHNOLOGY USED

PHP with a mysqli backend, a lightweight REST data layer pulling from the existing ERP and CRM, and a responsive Bootstrap 5 front end with live KPI tiles and a custom revenue-versus-target chart rendered without any heavy charting library.

TYPICAL PROBLEM (ILLUSTRATIVE)

A B2B services company was losing qualified leads because hand-offs between marketing, sales and finance happened over email and WhatsApp. Quotations took two days to produce, invoices sometimes slipped by a week, and no one could reliably say where a given deal was in the pipeline.

WHAT THE PROTOTYPE DOES

We implemented an end-to-end Zoho CRM and Zoho Books automation that carries an opportunity from first lead capture all the way through qualification, quotation, sales order, invoicing, payment reconciliation and post-sale support. Each stage triggers the next automatically, with WhatsApp and email alerts keeping the right people informed at the right moment.

TECHNOLOGY USED

Zoho CRM and Zoho Books as the system of record, Zoho Flow and custom PHP webhooks for inter-stage automation, and a thin PHP dashboard layer using mysqli to surface pipeline health alongside the native Zoho interface.

TYPICAL PROBLEM (ILLUSTRATIVE)

An organisation preparing for ISO 27001 certification had no structured way to measure its security posture across the six core control domains. VAPT findings were tracked in a spreadsheet, remediation was ad hoc, and the security lead could not give the board a simple, defensible answer to the question "how secure are we today?"

WHAT THE PROTOTYPE DOES

We built an interactive Cybersecurity Risk Dashboard that scores each control domain — access control, network security, data protection, vulnerability management, incident response and compliance — and rolls them up into a single letter grade from A to F. Adjusting any control immediately recalculates the overall score, so leaders can model the impact of a remediation investment before they commit to it.

TECHNOLOGY USED

Pure PHP with a mysqli data store for findings and control scores, Bootstrap 5 range inputs for the interactive sliders, and a small vanilla-JavaScript engine that recomputes the composite risk grade in the browser with no page reloads.

TYPICAL PROBLEM (ILLUSTRATIVE)

A staffing and deployment operation was managing its candidate pipeline across phone calls, paper attendance sheets and a shared spreadsheet, which meant deployment delays, missed interviews and no reliable view of who was available for the next site assignment.

WHAT THE PROTOTYPE DOES

We delivered a Workforce Management Platform that tracks every candidate from shortlisting through interview, onboarding and final deployment, with attendance and site status visible in real time. Recruiters, site supervisors and payroll all see the same pipeline, so a candidate is never lost between stages.

TECHNOLOGY USED

PHP with a mysqli backend, a responsive Bootstrap 5 table-driven interface, and pipe-chip status badges that mirror the lead-scoring visual language already used across the MaquishTech Venture® platform for instant recognition.

TYPICAL PROBLEM (ILLUSTRATIVE)

A business pursuing government e-marketplace opportunities was discovering tenders late, missing eligibility checks, and frequently scrambling to assemble documentation hours before the submission deadline. Win rates were low not because the bids were weak, but because the process was chaotic.

WHAT THE PROTOTYPE DOES

We built a GeM and Tender Opportunity Workflow that carries an opportunity through six structured stages — discovery, eligibility, documentation, bid preparation, submission and post-bid tracking — so nothing falls through the cracks. Each stage has a clear owner and a visible status, and the team can see every live opportunity on one screen.

TECHNOLOGY USED

PHP with a mysqli backend, a stage-driven Bootstrap 5 card layout with numbered section indicators, and integration hooks to the GeM portal for tender discovery so new opportunities appear automatically in the pipeline.

TYPICAL PROBLEM (ILLUSTRATIVE)

A research team was managing thesis progress, milestone reviews and documentation across scattered folders and long email threads, which made it hard for supervisors to see whether a project was on track or quietly slipping behind schedule.

WHAT THE PROTOTYPE DOES

We created a Research Project Management System that lays out every milestone — from topic finalisation through literature review, methodology, data collection, analysis and final thesis submission — with a live progress bar and status on each one. Supervisors and researchers share one view, so review conversations start from facts instead of status-update emails.

TECHNOLOGY USED

PHP with a mysqli backend, a milestone-driven Bootstrap 5 interface with progress bars and status chips, and a documentation layer that links each milestone to its supporting artefacts so the full research trail is auditable.
