Lucht Applications
The internal platform powering our applications and automation tools.
The story
The Lucht Applications hub connects client intake, operational tooling, payment flows, and cross product admin visibility. It is the backbone behind our shipped work.
The problem. Running multiple products and client sites from one studio requires shared infrastructure for forms, analytics, billing signals, and operational review.
The solution. A lightweight control plane on Vercel with MongoDB-backed submissions, Stripe webhooks, and modular admin surfaces that integrate with product APIs without duplicating their logic.
