Context

SORA’s enterprise clients needed a secure and scalable way to distribute digital gift cards, but the company did not yet have a product capable of supporting that process. The need was initially explained to me at a high level, without a defined product structure, detailed requirements or an existing platform to build upon.

The challenge

The challenge was not simply to improve an existing workflow. It was to determine what the product needed to be, how clients would use it and which supporting capabilities were required to make it secure, scalable and ready for enterprise use.

My ownership

I took full ownership of turning the initial client need into a working product. I defined the product concept, scope, information architecture, user flows, interface and operational logic, and then independently built the platform from the ground up.

  • Translated a high-level client need into a complete product concept
  • Defined the product scope and end-to-end user experience
  • Designed the platform structure and operational workflows
  • Built the product independently from scratch
  • Identified requirements beyond the original request
  • Took the product from concept to a live, client-ready solution

What I built

Digital reward distribution

Business clients can distribute digital gift cards through a controlled platform instead of depending on fragmented manual processes.

Guided onboarding

I created a step-by-step onboarding experience covering account creation, company approval, credentials, branding, team invitations and the first reward send.

Help Center

I built a dedicated knowledge center where clients can understand how to use and configure the platform without relying entirely on manual support.

Two-factor authentication

I added two-factor authentication to provide an additional layer of protection for accounts handling digital rewards.

Reporting

I created reporting capabilities that allow business clients to review and track their digital reward distribution activity.

Multilingual email customization

I built a dedicated section where each company can customize its branded email communication by language, adapting the experience to its company and recipient market.

Team and account management

I included the account and team-management capabilities needed for business clients to operate the platform.

Product thinking beyond the original request

The original request focused on fulfilling the client’s immediate reward-distribution need. While defining the product, I recognized that a complete enterprise solution also required onboarding, documentation, security, reporting, team management and localized communication.

I expanded the product beyond the initial brief to create a more complete and scalable client experience.

Outcome

The result was an entirely new product offering for SORA: a client-facing B2B platform that transformed a broad customer need into a functional commercial solution. SENDSora gave the company a product it previously did not have and created a more scalable foundation for enterprise digital reward distribution.
