Brindigráfica prints logos on things — t-shirts, caps, pens, bags, and everything else a company hands out at a fair. Their existing site showed the products but couldn’t take an order, so every quote was a phone call. The rebuild turns the website into the front door of the business.
What we built
A Next.js storefront with the full catalogue, filters by category, a cart, and two ways to buy: a straight order, or a quote request for the custom-printed jobs that need a conversation first. Customers get an account area to follow their orders and quotes.
Behind it, an API in server-side Swift — Vapor 4 with Fluent on PostgreSQL. Authentication stays on Auth0, and the frontend talks to the API through a Next.js proxy so tokens never reach the browser.
The team gets a back-office on top of the same API: orders, products and users in one place, including inviting new users, plus supplier catalogue imports that land unpublished and get reviewed before they go live.
Where it stands
The first stage is live at brindigrafica.pt: catalogue, cart, orders, quote requests, customer accounts and the back-office. Online payments were deliberately left out of v1 — promotional products are quoted and invoiced, so that flow came first. Next on the list: payments, Google Calendar bookings with a production timeline, and more supplier connectors.
The full story — stack, decisions and the parts that bit us — is in the blog post.
