What is Anetro?

Anetro is a startup company that I am currently the CTO (Chief Technical Officer) of. In other words, we're a 5 man team and I'm the lead developer.

Anetro is a communcation-enhancing tool which gives greater visibility, saves users time and increases efficiency

Anetro allows for the entire business "communication to besynced and stored in one place, which prevents loss of information but also allows each individual business to have far greater visibility

The analysis model generated by Anetro gives users the opportunity to enhance operational efficiencyand save time because users know far more about their activities

The Build

As I'm the lead developer on this, I made all of the decisions, but for once, I feel like they were educated decisions.

The code is served from an AWS Linux Server running apache, I made this choice because I knew the web app would have a large target market, across the globe and AWS makes it easy to serve code from different locations and deal with scalling quite easily.

I decided to build the web app using theLaravel PHP Framework.
I chose Laravel because it makes it really easy to create models and classes. It makes writing to and selecting from the database incredibly easy, as well as making routing (and hence pretty urls) quite handy. Along with a whole lot of other features such as encryption going in and decryption coming out of the database, a built in theme engine, user authentication, etc. etc.

Progress

So far it's still in alpha mode, but we're looking to go forward with a private beta soon, and then onto a public beta in the next month or so.

But the build is more or less ready to go, it has all the functionality you might expect from a feedback platform

  • Registering a Company / Group
  • Registering as an Admin
  • Registering / Inviting Employees / Group members
  • Logging Feedback
  • Viewing Feedback as an Admin
  • Viewing the live analytics which we compute from the feedback which is logged by the employees.
  • And much more
