DOSSIER 01 · LEATHER SECTOR · B2B · IN PRODUCTION
From manual inspection to a platform that runs the whole business
Magupell, S.L. inspects the quality of the leather that luxury fashion and leather-goods brands buy from their tanneries. It is a niche, technical and demanding business: every batch is classified, tested, checked against an agreed reference standard and documented with photographic evidence.
A service that works, and that grew faster than the systems supporting it.
The heart of the business — inspection, batch results, technical data sheets, catalogues, clients and billing — lived outside any system: spreadsheets, loose documents and unsystematised knowledge. Hard to trace, hard to bill, impossible to scale.
It was not a failure of the business: it was the limit of manual operation.
Escala designed and built the complete platform: a custom B2B web application covering the operational cycle end to end. From the catalogue of clients, suppliers and agreed quality standards, to field inspection from a tablet with photographic evidence; from there to internal review and approval, report distribution and the billing summary that closes the period.
With user and role management, document generation, transactional email on the client's corporate domain and real-time notifications. An architecture built to evolve for years.

ONE DATASET · FULL TRACEABILITY · REAL-TIME NOTIFICATIONS
One platform, four ways of working. Each role logs in and sees exactly what it needs — no more, no less — with its own dashboard.
Admin
Runs the operation end to end: configures, reviews, approves, distributes and closes the period, with a real-time view of the business.
Inspector
Works in the field from a tablet: records the inspection with photographic evidence and sends it for review without paper or spreadsheets.
Client
Accesses their portal to view and download batch reports and track the quality received over time.
Supplier
Checks the inspection results of the batches they produced, with information limited to what's relevant to them.
Growing without losing control of what happens.
Opening the operation to more users is only possible if each one sees strictly their own data and every decision is logged. That is the difference between digitalising and being able to scale.
Role-based permissions: each user accesses only the information that belongs to them.
Who did what, when, and on which batch. Decisions are logged with their justification.
Hosted on Google Cloud, European region, no transfers outside the EEA, with automatic backups.
1,803 automated tests and three environments with protected pipelines: the platform evolves every month without risking operations.
In its first month in production, the platform stopped being a project and became the way of working. Every profile operates inside the system: inspection is born in the field and reaches the billing summary without ever leaving it.
The change isn't just a tool. Magupell went from rebuilding its information to consulting it, and did so with the engineering standard of global enterprise software applied to a niche business.
The alliance continues with monthly support and evolution: every improvement is specified, agreed and shipped to production based on real feedback from the people who use the system every day. The platform isn't finished — it's alive, and it grows at the pace of the business.
