Overview

EI Next is the internal web app of a Germany-based company that builds digital products and solutions. Its team uses the app to manage company data and to automate collecting data from company websites. Contrive Solutions designed and built the app and its set of crawlers.

The challenge

Outgrowing the in-house teamThe business was growing faster than its in-house developers could support.
Client data in one placeIt needed one system for current and future clients, extra service details, open appointment slots and booked appointments.
Visibility and new leadsManagement wanted to see each employee's work with role-based access, and sales needed a way to find new clients in specific industries.

What we built

Company data workflowCompany data arrives from the client's own API. Employees review and adjust it, add or reject the company in one click, and assign an appointment slot when needed.
Employee trackingEvery employee action is logged with a timestamp, and the employer has per-employee stats to review performance.
Contact Form CrawlerChecks whether a website has a contact form, saves the form URL and reports the result to the client's API.
URL CrawlerChecks a website against keyword criteria for the target industry and saves the public contact details it finds as a lead for the sales team.
Domain CrawlerWorks like the URL Crawler on domains fetched from a third-party API. Each user runs one crawler process at a time.
