Software case study
Custom software for Digitaal Studioo: designs, inventory, personalisation and shipping in one system
Summary: Entiko built custom software for Digitaal Studioo, a gifting business, so they can create custom designs for their clients, manage inventory, handle personalised orders and manage shipping from one place.
The client
Digitaal Studioo is a gifting business that creates custom and personalised gifts for its clients.
The challenge
Gifting businesses often juggle a lot of moving parts on every order: a design made for a specific client, personalisation details that have to be exactly right, stock that has to be available, and a parcel that has to go out on time. When those steps sit in different places, details are easy to lose and hard to check.
Digitaal Studioo wanted software built around the way their business works, with these steps handled in one system.
What we built
Entiko built custom software for Digitaal Studioo that covers four core workflows:
Custom designs for clients.
Digitaal Studioo can create custom designs for each of their clients within the system.
Inventory management.
Stock is managed in the same system as the rest of the business.
Order personalisation and customisation.
Personalised and customised orders are handled in the software, not kept separately.
Shipping management.
Shipping is managed from within the same system.
How we worked
Our approach to custom software is to understand how the work moves today, write it down, and build against it.
01
Map the work first.
We speak with the people who do the job, not only the owner, and trace how the work moves. That becomes a written brief the client can read and correct.
02
A working slice early.
Instead of a long build out of sight, the client gets one real flow to use and review, and the rest is added in phases.
03
Hand over and stay on.
Code, accounts and documentation sit with the client. Launch is not the last conversation; the first fixes and the first “can it also” are part of the job.
The result
Creating designs, managing inventory, handling personalisation and managing shipping now run in one custom system built around how Digitaal Studioo works.
Digitaal Studioo is happy with the software and offered to leave Entiko a Google review.
Have a process like this?
If your orders, stock and dispatch live across chats and spreadsheets, we can map the work and build software around it. You own the code.
