Business context
PrintBI aimed to build the most comprehensive global directory of printing companies, enriched with business intelligence and advanced search capabilities. The client needed a scalable platform to automate data extraction from company websites and allow users to filter, pay for, and download customized company reports. The aim was to help vendors efficiently generate qualified leads in the printing sector.

Intuitive lead discovery
Providing advanced search filters that allow users to pinpoint the right companies by specialty, service, location, and brand without creating a complex or confusing UX.

Integrating seamless payment and report generation workflows, with security and compliance in mind.
Maintaining clean data
Ensuring scraped company information stayed consistent, structured, and up-to-date despite variations in site formats, languages, and content quality.
Solutions we implemented
- Automated scraping and enrichment tools. We developed a custom scraping engine that can extract company data (location, contact information, services, and verticals) from URLs provided by users. The system enriched the data for marketing use and enabled geo-targeting via mapping.
- Data-rich web platform with advanced filters. The platform was designed using React.js, with a clean and intuitive interface that allows users to filter companies by keywords, services, regions, and printing-specific attributes.
- Online payment and customized report generation. We integrated PalPay (PayPal or equivalent) to process payments securely. Upon payment, users automatically receive a tailored data report based on their filter selections.
- CI/CD-enabled AWS infrastructure. We implemented DevOps services to deploy the solution on AWS using CI/CD pipelines, enabling seamless updates and high reliability.
