Partnerplace

Manage business relationships in one place

Partnerplace is an advanced platform designed for companies looking to efficiently manage relationships with business partners. The platform enables the centralization and automation of processes related to managing partner networks, leads, and commission settlements.

With Partnerplace, companies can effectively coordinate collaboration with partners at various levels, ranging from relationship and communication management to financial oversight and settlement control.

‍

Objective of the Collaboration

The goal of the collaboration was to create a platform that allows companies to comprehensively manage relationships with a focus on flexibility, scalability, and process automation. The platform was intended to provide advanced customization features, enabling each organization to tailor the solution precisely to its unique needs, ensuring consistency, professionalism, and efficiency in partner collaboration.

‍

Technological Challenge

The client approached us with a well-documented concept and a ready design for the platform. However, they were uncertain about the final development approach, particularly regarding the choice of no-code/low-code technology.

Their concerns primarily revolved around security, scalability, and technology dependency. However, after consultations and workshops where we jointly analyzed the advantages, disadvantages, and potential limitations, the client decided to utilize no-code technology. This ultimately resulted in significant cost reductions and accelerated project completion.

‍

No-Code Advantage

To build the Partnerplace platform, we utilized the no-code platform Bubble and developed several custom solutions integrated with external systems. The result of this approach was outstanding, as confirmed by the client: "I am 100% convinced that it was the right choice. The application is evolving very quickly, we can respond to customer needs almost in real-time, and the system itself runs smoothly."

Iterative approach

Due to the complexity of the project and the client’s specific expectations, we decided to divide the work into two stages: MVP and Post-MVP.

During the MVP phase, our priority was to build the core version of the application that would enable lead and partner management. The timeline was extremely tight, but thanks to the efficiency of our team and the speed of no-code/low-code technology, we delivered the solution on time.

In the Post-MVP phase, we focused on adding advanced functionalities such as bulk mailing, file sharing, and additional modules that enriched and expanded the platform.

‍

Main challenges

Tight deadlines

The project had to be delivered in a very short timeframe, with the assumption that the MVP would be ready for launch within just 2 months. This required excellent coordination, disciplined planning, and flexibility in responding to changing customer needs.

‍

Multi-organization support

Users of the platform could belong to multiple organizations (tenants) at the same time. This required building functionality that allowed seamless switching between workspaces without the risk of data leakage between tenants. This was crucial for maintaining confidentiality and ensuring compliance with security standards.

‍

Whitelabeling

A key requirement was full platform customization for each tenant. The system needed to support custom domains, color schemes, logos, and UI variations, enabling each tenant to create a completely unique experience for their users. This required advanced integrations and thorough testing to ensure reliable operation across different configurations.

‍

Commission management

The system needed to handle highly complex and flexible commission models tailored individually for each partner. We had to design a mechanism that calculated commissions precisely across different settlement periods, avoiding errors when overlapping rules applied.

‍

‍

Collaboration goals

Flexibility, speed, and security

Three main goals guided the creation of the Partnerplace platform:

Building a flexible platform

The system had to support multiple types of users — from tenant administrators to regular users — while giving each the appropriate tools for managing relationships, leads, and communication. The modular structure allowed each Partnerplace client to choose which modules would be available in their workspace.

Ensuring data security

A top priority was ensuring that data would never flow between tenants, which was essential for maintaining trust and complying with data protection regulations.

Rapid delivery

Due to the tight schedule, the team needed to deliver a functional MVP quickly while maintaining high quality and technical accuracy.

‍

Step-by-step

‍

Implementation process

Phase 1: Workshops and preparation

The client approached havenocode with a well-documented idea and complete UI design. While the workshops were initially intended as a formality, it quickly became clear that the project contained many dependencies and details requiring deeper analysis. The client was highly involved in this process, which allowed us to align functionalities with real business expectations.

‍

Phase 2: MVP development

Work on the MVP was divided into key stages:

• Platform configuration: preparing the environment and the core structure of the application.
• Development: building the foundation of the app, enabling partner and lead management. Thanks to no-code/low-code, we delivered new features quickly and met the deadline.
• Testing: every feature underwent rigorous internal QA before being shared with the client. This helped avoid costly fixes later and ensured stability.

‍

Phase 3: Iterative feature development

After launching the MVP, we began an iterative development cycle. Each cycle started with a meeting to clarify upcoming features and dependencies. After estimation and approval, the team proceeded with development and testing. This approach ensured continuous growth, stability, and value delivery.

‍

‍

Platform complexity and access levels

Partnerplace is designed to support different types of users, roles, and permissions. We divided the platform into three core areas:

1. Multiple access levels

The platform supports several types of accounts:

• Tenant: main administrator with full control, able to manage modules, partners, and users.
• Partner Manager: responsible for relationships and lead management, including commission workflows.
• Partner: cooperating company with access only to selected features assigned by the tenant.
• User: basic role with limited access tailored to operational tasks.

‍

2. Modularity

Tenants can enable or disable specific modules depending on their needs. Examples include:

• Lead Management — creating, editing, and tracking leads.
• Invoicing — flexible commission and billing configuration.
• File Sharing — secure storage and controlled access.
• Public Page — building external pages for onboarding partners.

‍

3. Managing complexity

The challenge was to ensure that data accessible to one user type would never appear in another role’s view.
Examples include:

• Visibility restrictions in commission management.
• Data isolation for users who belong to multiple organizations.
• Strict rules for file access, workspace switching, and permissions.

‍

Technologies and integrations

‍

Bubble (no-code platform)

Partnerplace was built entirely on Bubble.io. This allowed rapid development and easy modification of advanced functionalities while maintaining flexibility crucial for the project’s complexity.

NodeMailer – custom plugin

To empower tenants with full control over email communication, havenocode developed a custom NodeMailer plugin that sends messages directly from each tenant’s server — supporting branding consistency and trust.

HubSpot integration

One of the key integrations was synchronization with the HubSpot CRM. This enabled automatic lead synchronization and seamless workflows between Partnerplace and HubSpot, significantly improving partner and sales management.

Lead API and Webhooks

The platform includes:

• Lead API — for external integrations
• Webhooks — for real-time notifications and workflow automation

These features are essential for companies that require automation and external system connectivity.
