About the project.

Nicolen Studios photographs entire schools. Every session day produced thousands of images that had to be sorted by hand, matched to the right child by parents or school admins, then edited and printed one email request at a time. The studio needed the whole flow, from upload to order, to run without manual steps.

BeeTcore partnered with the studio to design and build an e-commerce platform made for that workflow: secure upload after each session, a code-based search for parents, and a checkout for frames, edits and prints.

Building something with the same shape?

Challenge.

Session days meant chaos. Thousands of images per school, sorted manually. Parents and school admins matching children to photos over email. Each edit and print handled as a separate request. The backlog ran into weeks, errors crept in, and the studio spent more time on admin than on photography.

Our process.

Map the real workflow.

Followed a session day from camera to delivery to find every manual handoff worth removing.

Design for parents first.

A single search by secure code, clear galleries and a checkout that explains frame sizes, edits and prints without a phone call.

Build the backend around uploads.

Photos land in a secure backend after each session, grouped by school and session, with orders flowing straight to production.

Solution.

A photo e-commerce platform built around the studio’s actual day. After each session, photos upload directly to a secure backend. Parents search with a secure code, find their child’s photos, choose frame sizes, edits and prints, and check out in one place. Orders arrive organised by school and session, ready for production, with no email thread in between.

Results.

Faster turnaround and fewer errors. What used to mean weeks of manual backlog now runs on its own after every session, and the studio’s team works on orders instead of sorting them.
