Projects

vCAD ACP

vCAD ACP was a customer portal for managing vCAD licences and projects. It enabled users to purchase and manage their vCAD subscriptions and oversee the administrative aspects of their projects. Built using Laravel 10, the portal was constantly updated until Laravel 12. It featured a custom-built billing system that integrated with Mollie for payment processing. The project was discontinued in 2024 following its sale.

Roleplay.Software ACP

Based on the work done for vCAD ACP, I developed a similar customer portal for Roleplay.Software. This portal enables users to manage their Roleplay.Software subscriptions and projects. Built with Laravel 12, it uses the Laravel Cashier Mollie package for subscription and payment processing. Currently, the Project is not live.
