Bee Line Microgreens
A microgreens delivery business needs real e-commerce, recurring billing, and route logistics — so we built our own platform on AWS instead of renting one, and run it ourselves.
Visit beelinemicrogreens.comWe replaced the SaaS stack with our own.
Off-the-shelf subscription and delivery tools (Subbly + WooDelivery) worked — but cost ~$208 a month and still didn't fit how the business actually delivers. So we designed and built a platform that does, on infrastructure that costs about $16 a month to run.
