Most of what we do at PLECCO is fix other people's broken software. Project X Pro is what happens when we pointed that same discipline at how we run PLECCO day to day — not just how we sell.

The Problem: Death by a Thousand Tools

Growing companies are running proposal software, a lead research tool, a LinkedIn scraper, and a market intelligence subscription — and a CRM that does not talk to any of them. Nothing shares data. Every handoff between tools is a place where a lead goes cold, a rep loses context, or a proposal goes out with stale numbers.

We watched this exact pattern eat hours out of our own sales week before we ever pitched a fix to a client: 15+ fragmented tools, no unified view, hours lost to context switching. That's the kind of problem PLECCO exists to solve — not "you need more software," but "your software doesn't talk to itself, and it's costing you time and deals."

What We Built

Project X Pro (projectx.plecco.net) is an AI-powered business-intelligence platform — not a single-purpose sales tool. It unifies the pieces of running a company that usually live in separate tabs and separate teams:

• Lead research and qualification — automated discovery instead of manual prospecting.
• Proposal generation — AI-assisted drafting that pulls from real account context instead of a blank template.
• LinkedIn automation — outreach sequencing without the manual copy-paste.
• Market intelligence pulled into the workflow instead of a separate subscription nobody checks — plus the workspaces, boards, and content calendar the team runs day-to-day operations from, and a built-in support center (grounded AI FAQ, with escalation to a person over Slack) so nothing falls through the cracks between departments.

It's AI-driven end to end, not AI bolted onto an existing tool as a feature. On the revenue side, teams using it are moving 3-5x faster from initial lead discovery to a qualified pipeline, because the handoffs between research, outreach, and proposal work that used to cost hours now happen inside one platform. On the operations side, it's the same story: the boards and content calendar keep work visible across the team, and the support center answers questions before they become tickets — so it's the system you run the company from, not just the system you sell from.

The Build Story

This wasn't a weekend hack. Project X Pro required the same architecture decisions we'd bring to any client SaaS build: integrations that stay reliable when a third-party API changes, an AI layer that's useful rather than gimmicky, and a data model that holds up as usage scales past the first few users. We designed it, built it, and now run it in production — including using it to run PLECCO's own sales pipeline. If you want the deeper build rationale behind decisions like this, our post on hiring an AI engineer vs. a consultant covers how we think about where AI belongs in a product versus where it's just noise.

Why This Matters If You're Not Buying Business-Intelligence Software

We're not writing this to sell you a business-intelligence platform. We're showing you what our engineering team does when we point it at a real, painful operational problem: we design the system, build the AI/automation layer so it actually holds up, and ship something people use daily — not a prototype that dies after the demo.

If your business is drowning in disconnected tools, manual handoffs, or an AI feature everyone asked for and nobody built right, that's the exact problem PLECCO's SaaS product development and automation work is built for. We spend most of our time with fast-growing fintech, rental, and other operationally complex businesses, but the pattern — expensive manual work masquerading as "just how it's done" — shows up everywhere. Most teams have accepted the tool sprawl as a cost of doing business. It doesn't have to be.

Most software companies talk about what they could build for you. We'd rather show you what we did build.

Events Pro (eventspro.plecco.net) is a ticketing and event management platform we designed and shipped for independent event promoters. It isn't a client case study — it's ours, top to bottom, from architecture to production. We built it because we kept seeing the same operational mess in event businesses, and the fastest way to prove we could fix it was to build the fix ourselves.

The Problem: Legacy Ticketing Wasn't Built for Promoters

Talk to any independent promoter running more than a handful of shows a year and you'll hear the same complaints. Platforms like Eventbrite take 8%+ off the top in fees. Inventory management is an afterthought — tables, sections, and multi-tier pricing get bolted on instead of designed in. And when a show sells out in the first ten minutes, the checkout flow becomes the bottleneck, not the demand.

That's not a marketing problem. It's an operations problem — the same category of problem PLECCO exists to fix for growing companies with real operational complexity. Ticketing infrastructure that can't keep up with demand costs promoters real revenue: seats that don't sell because checkout is slow, pricing that doesn't flex with demand, and reconciliation that eats a Monday morning instead of a few minutes.

What We Built

Events Pro handles tickets, tables, and sections for independent event promoters running high-volume, multi-venue operations.

The Capabilities

• Real-time inventory management — no overselling, no manual holds, no reconciling two systems by hand.
• Dynamic pricing that adjusts with demand instead of a single flat price set weeks in advance.
• Sub-second ticket issuance, so checkout doesn't buckle when a show sells out fast.
• Fees roughly 70% lower than legacy platforms, because we built the payment and inventory layers ourselves instead of stacking markup on someone else's infrastructure.

It's live. Promoters are running real events on it right now — not a beta, not a demo environment.

The Build Approach

We treated Events Pro like we'd treat any client SaaS engagement: real-time inventory needs to be consistent under concurrent load, payment flows need to be built for compliance from day one, and the checkout path needs to survive a sell-out spike instead of falling over during the one moment it matters most. Those are the same constraints we design around for fintech and rental clients — we just happened to be the client this time.

Why This Matters If You're Not in the Events Business

We didn't write this post to sell you event ticketing software. We wrote it because Events Pro is proof of something more useful to you: PLECCO doesn't just advise on operationally complex software — we design and ship it, under real production load, with real revenue running through it.

If your business has the same shape of problem — a workflow that's outgrown the tool you're duct-taping it to, or a process bleeding money because the software wasn't built for how you actually operate — that's exactly what we build for. If you're comparing us against other partners, our guide on how to evaluate a software development partner covers the questions worth asking anyone bidding on your project — including us.

Built By the Same Team That Can Build for You

Events Pro was built end-to-end by PLECCO's engineering team — the same team available for your SaaS build, your workflow automation, or your compliance-heavy platform. We don't hand you off to a subcontractor once the contract's signed.

Exciting news from PLECCO as we announce the rebranding and redesign of our client BatteryXchange — now known as BXE. This project was a true team effort from start to finish, blending strategic thinking, creative design, and technical execution into a seamless delivery that we’re incredibly proud of.

Understanding BXE’s Vision

Before a single pixel was placed, our team sat down with the BatteryXchange leadership to understand their business goals for this rebranding initiative. What were they trying to communicate to their users? What friction points existed in the current experience? What did the brand need to say about the company’s direction?

These conversations are the foundation of every great product we build at PLECCO. Great design doesn’t start with aesthetics — it starts with understanding the business and the people it serves. The BXE team had a clear vision for where the brand was headed, and our job was to translate that vision into an app experience that felt unmistakably theirs.

The Design Process

With the strategic foundation in place, our design team got to work crafting a UI/UX experience fully aligned with BXE’s goals. This wasn’t a simple reskin — it was a comprehensive redesign of the entire user interface, touching every screen, every interaction, and every visual element of the app.

Our designers developed detailed layouts for each screen, created a cohesive icon system, and designed interactive elements — buttons, navigation components, input fields — that maintained consistency across the entire application. The goal was to create a visual language that felt modern, clean, and immediately intuitive to users.

One of the highlights of the design phase was the creation of custom map icon concepts. The BXE app is location-based by nature, so the map icons play a central role in the user experience. Our team developed multiple distinct concepts, giving BXE the freedom to choose the design that best communicated their brand identity and made the in-app map experience truly distinctive.

Cross-Platform Development

Once the design direction was finalized and approved, our development team took the reins. The challenge here was significant: implementing a completely revamped UI/UX across two distinct platforms — iOS and Android — while maintaining feature parity and ensuring each platform felt native to its environment.

Our mobile development team worked methodically through the implementation, translating each finalized design into functional code. Every animation, every transition, every micro-interaction was carefully developed to match the design intent while performing smoothly across a range of device types and screen sizes.

Cross-platform mobile development is one of the more technically demanding challenges in app development — what looks great on one device can behave unexpectedly on another. Our QA process ensured that the final product felt polished and consistent whether a user was on an older Android device or the latest iPhone.

The Result: A Modern App That Delivers

The result of this collaborative process is a sleek, modern application that authentically represents the BXE brand and delivers a user experience that customers genuinely enjoy. The app’s new interface is cleaner, more intuitive, and more visually compelling than its predecessor — while maintaining all the functionality users depend on.

This project is a strong example of what PLECCO does best: taking a client’s vision and executing it with precision across the full design-to-development lifecycle. From initial discovery through final launch, the BXE team had a dedicated partner committed to getting every detail right.

It’s a milestone year for PLECCO as we celebrate 20 years in business. Two decades is a long time in any industry — in technology, where the landscape transforms entirely every few years, it’s a testament to adaptability, client relationships, and an unwavering commitment to doing the work well.

Where It All Started

PLECCO was founded in Charlotte, NC in 2005 with a clear purpose: give growing businesses access to the kind of technical expertise that had historically been reserved for large enterprises with large budgets. The founding insight was simple — mid-market companies were being underserved. They had real technology needs, real operational complexity, and real growth ambitions, but the options available to them were limited: hire expensive internal staff, work with generic agencies, or go without.

PLECCO was built to be a better option. A firm that combined deep technical capability with genuine business understanding — and could move at the speed growing companies actually need.

20 Years of Evolution

Over the past two decades, we’ve evolved significantly. The technologies we work with today — AI, cloud-native infrastructure, mobile platforms — barely existed when PLECCO was founded. We’ve grown our service offerings, deepened our industry expertise, and expanded our team of consultants and engineers.

But some things haven’t changed. We still start every engagement by listening. We still care more about business outcomes than deliverable checklists. We still believe that the best technology work happens when clients and partners are truly aligned.

Over 20 years, we’ve had the privilege of working with companies across fintech, rental operations, complex business services, and beyond. We’ve built mobile apps, redesigned broken systems, automated manual workflows, and helped leadership teams think more clearly about technology strategy. Every project has taught us something — and made us better at the next one.

A Special Offer for Our 20th Anniversary

To celebrate this milestone, we’re offering a special promotion throughout the anniversary period: 20% off all PLECCO services for 6 months. This is our way of saying thank you — to our existing clients who’ve trusted us over the years, and to new clients who are just now discovering what PLECCO can do.

If you’ve been thinking about addressing technical debt, automating a key workflow, or finally building that product you’ve had on the roadmap — now is the perfect time to get started.

What We’re Looking Forward To

Twenty years in, we’re more energized about the work than ever. The emergence of AI, the maturation of cloud infrastructure, and the increasing sophistication of the businesses we serve are creating genuinely exciting opportunities. We’re investing in new capabilities, deepening our team’s expertise, and continuing to expand the ways we can add value for our clients.

The companies that will thrive over the next 20 years are the ones making smart technology investments today. We want to be the partner helping them do exactly that.

Thank You

None of this would be possible without the clients, team members, and partners who have been part of the PLECCO story. To everyone who’s trusted us with their technology challenges over the years — thank you. This anniversary belongs to all of you.
