Objectives
Develop a full-featured admin interface for managing users, orders, and factory costs.
Provide real-time insights into revenue, materials, and logistics performance.
Enable cost and margin configuration per material, region, and process type.
Integrate global access for admins in Europe, China, and the US with unified data.
Approach
We built L3AD Admin as a secure, data-driven dashboard using React, Next.js, and PostgreSQL. The backend integrates with L3AD’s main platform APIs to pull live order, cost, and user data. Admins can dynamically update cost models (e.g., material, machine, packaging, and shipping costs) and instantly see the impact on quoting logic. Real-time data visualization enables decision-making for revenue, performance, and user engagement. All modules are protected by authentication and role-based access controls.
