Benefits Portal Rebuild — From MVP to Production-Ready Enterprise Application
01 / 11
Studio Platform is a full-lifecycle benefits management portal built for Enterprise Client. It manages the creation, configuration, localization, orchestration, and publishing of digital benefits at enterprise scale.
A single pane of glass for managing digital benefits across the Client Platform platform. Studio interfaces with a 3-entity model — Offer + Marketplace + Client — abstracting that complexity behind a clean, multi-step wizard.
Supports multi-org workflows, multi-language content (localized fields), build orchestration, and publishing pipelines — the tools your team needs to ship benefits at speed.
Phases 1 and 2 are fully complete. The app scaffold, authentication, data layer, benefit list, campaign CRUD, and full UI redesign are live on the feature/ui-redesign-sidebar-login branch.
We're entering Phase 3 today — the core benefit wizard that will unlock the creation flow and form the backbone of the production application.
02 / 11
Built on best-in-class tooling with a clear upgrade path. Every component was selected for performance, type safety, and long-term maintainability.
3-Entity Model Abstraction
Benefits are composed of Offer + Marketplace + Client entities. The wizard hides this from users — they see one clean form, we handle the orchestration.
Read-Only API Fieldsstatus and needs_build are controlled by the API. Build/publish flows use correct action endpoints.
Localization First
All user-facing content supports multi-language via LocalizedInput components. Designed for global enterprise deployments.
Build Orchestration Pipeline
Sequential async pipeline: create → build → poll → publish, with error recovery at every stage.

In two focused sprints we went from zero to a fully scaffolded, redesigned, and authenticated application. The foundation is solid.
