NHN Menuiserie groups three joinery brands that had no digital channel. As CTO and architect, I designed a multi-site Laravel platform on a single core: a per-square-metre price configurator, Stripe payments, multi-rate VAT invoicing, a block-based CMS and an internal CRM.

Three brands with no digital channel, and manual sales and quotes
NHN Menuiserie brings together three brands: Batimenuiz, PDV Volet and NHN Menuiserie. None had a digital channel, and the whole sales and quoting process was manual.
The product is not simple: the price of a window or door depends on its dimensions, per square metre, from length by height grids. The business needed a full buying journey with Stripe, per-site PDF quotes, multi-rate VAT invoicing and an internal CRM, all on a shared core.
A single-core architecture, one look per site
I designed a multi-site platform where a single Laravel codebase serves the three brands. The catalogue is centralised: each product is activated, priced and promoted site by site.
Each site still keeps its own identity: its own logo, colours and fonts, with an A/B header to test variants.
What the platform does
- Price configurator
- The per-square-metre price is computed on the server, from length by height grids that can be imported from Excel.
- Buying journey
- Cart, a PDF quote personalised for each site and Stripe payment: card, bank transfer, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- Invoicing
- Invoicing that handles VAT rates of 5.5%, 10% and 20%.
- Internal CRM
- A CRM that tracks quotes and customers across the three brands.
- Block-based CMS
- WYSIWYG text, images, icons and videos, fully managed through Filament.
Yassir stepped into this project with a genuine CTO posture, combining technical vision with an understanding of business stakes. His structured, proactive approach helped us frame the different phases efficiently, notably setting up the CRM, which was a strategic and substantial piece of work.

Common questions about this platform
Why a single core for three sites?
One codebase to maintain, shared pricing and invoicing rules, and a look specific to each brand. The catalogue is managed in one place.
What stack does the platform use?
Laravel and Filament, with Stripe for payment and MySQL for data.
Can a comparable platform be built for my business?
Yes, if your catalogue, pricing or quotes call for business logic. See the Laravel developer page, or describe your case from the contact page.
