The Challenge
A static funding directory needed a more useful matching experience based on manufacturers' business profiles.
The Approach
BeeNex designed a manufacturer-profile-to-funding workflow with a maintained grant database and a dynamic search/matching layer. Administrators manage funding records; external scraping and subscription payments were separate topics.
Capabilities
- Profile onboarding
- Sector/volume/size inputs
- Grant database
- Manual admin entry
- Real-time indexing design
- Context-aware matching
- Funding dashboard
Workflow
- Manufacturer provides profile
- Search maintained funding library
- Match requirements
- Explain relevant opportunities
- Admin updates grant records
- Google Cloud
- Cloud database
- AI search/recommendation (proposed)
- Web portal
Outcome
The proposal defines the user matching experience and administrator-managed funding library. Automated grant collection and payments remain outside the initial scope.
