Case study · Sprint build + AI integration
From daily spreadsheet chaos to a live stock-analytics portal in under two weeks.
A steel distributor's sales team was manually reconciling a daily export of 1,800+ product lines against enquiries and outstanding orders. We replaced the spreadsheet gymnastics with a portal that answers in seconds.

The problem
Where things stood.
Every day, the distributor's system produced an inventory export of more than 1,800 product lines. Every customer enquiry meant a salesperson manually cross-referencing that export against the catalogue and against outstanding orders to work out what could actually be fulfilled.
It was slow and error-prone. A single enquiry could take a chain of manual lookups across separate spreadsheets, and the risk of promising stock that was already committed to another order was constant.
The bottleneck hit the customer directly: fulfilment answers were delayed, and the team's time was consumed by reconciliation instead of selling. The distributor also serves customers whose access needed to stay fast and reliable from mainland China.
What NexSprint built
Human-led, agent-built, iterating weekly.
NexSprint scoped, designed, and shipped a stock-enquiry and outstanding-orders analytics portal in a single sprint. Upload the daily export and the manual reconciliation collapses into a few seconds of interaction — then we kept extending it release over release.
The outcome
What changed.
From spec to live production took under two weeks. What used to be a chain of manual spreadsheet lookups became a portal interaction measured in seconds.
Around 1,300 product mappings were wired in to power the attribute joins and batch lookups, and the tool is now daily operational software for the sales team — not a demo that got shelved.
It did not stop at launch. The portal was iterated across multiple releases and expanded into an AI-assisted quote-matching module, deepening the value with each cycle.
Hosting on Cloudflare's edge network keeps the portal fast and reliable for the distributor's users in Singapore and mainland China alike.
