What was in the way
A mobile telecommunications distributor managing hundreds of retail distributors faced logistical bottlenecks scanning, activating, and reconciling thousands of SIM cards daily.
- 01Manual entry of 20-digit SIM ICCIDs led to frequent human typos and carrier activation rejections.
- 02Retail agents lacked a centralized portal to check device compatibility and instant SIM status.
- 03Reconciling carrier commission payments across distributed agent tiers required weeks of manual spreadsheets.
The architecture, and why
Constructed an integrated distribution and provisioning engine connecting barcode scanners, carrier REST APIs, and automated commission accounting ledgers.
- Bulk barcode ingestion handling batch activation of serialized SIM cards simultaneously.
- Direct carrier API bridge automating IMSI and ICCID provisioning with instant status webhooks.
- Multi-tier retail agent commission ledger calculating recurring top-ups and activation incentives.
- Automated customer identity verification complying with federal telecommunications regulations.
What is running in production
What changed, measured
Ventures are described by industry and geography rather than by name, so publishing never waits on a client's sign-off. Named detail replaces a descriptor whenever an approval arrives. The numbers above are unchanged either way — our delivery record is independently verifiable on Upwork.
Whether it's co-founding a venture from a blank repo, embedding a senior pod, or automating the back office — bring us the architecture problem and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right team for it.
