AI Transformation Case Logs
The Problem
Three separate businesses (device repair, solar energy, AI consulting) each needed intelligent automation but lacked unified technology infrastructure.
The Solution
Designed and built production-grade platforms for all three businesses using Next.js, PostgreSQL, Firebase, and Claude AI — with shared infrastructure for CRM, analytics, and automated customer communication.
The Outcome
Reduced operational overhead by 60% across all three businesses while enabling AI-powered customer engagement at scale.
The Problem
B2B solar sales required complex financial modelling across TNB tariff structures, government incentives, and site-specific variables — traditionally done manually in spreadsheets.
The Solution
Built an AI-powered proposal engine that generates hyper-personalised executive proposals with satellite imagery, financial projections, and regulatory compliance analysis in minutes.
The Outcome
Proposal generation time reduced from 3 days to 15 minutes. Platform processes 48 industry-specific energy benchmarks automatically.
