InnoMetrix

InnoMetrix is an innovation performance management platform for enterprise transformation teams. It puts financial and operational numbers behind goals, strategies and initiatives: organizations plan and align initiatives through a stage-gate approval process, track IRR, payback, NPV and KPIs of their choosing, and analyze portfolio performance in dashboards and reports, with planning, execution and reporting in one cloud product.

The engagement was the consulting portal behind that product and the AWS platform under it - the place where a consulting team works with its client organizations: clients, teams, documents, settings, notifications, and periodic snapshots of how each portfolio is performing.

The backend is a serverless TypeScript monorepo: one Lambda per controller folder behind an API Gateway REST API, written on an in-house framework the studio carries between projects. That framework is decorator-driven - @Controller on the class, @Get, @Post, @Put and @Patch on the methods, @MongodbService for data access, a LambdaApplication that wires it together - so a controller reads like a small service rather than like a pile of handler files, and the split into functions is a directory convention instead of a deployment decision taken by hand.

Data lives in Amazon DocumentDB reached through the MongoDB driver, with the host and password pulled from SSM Parameter Store and Secrets Manager rather than from configuration, and the functions themselves running inside private VPC subnets. Schema changes go through migrate-mongo - around twenty migrations in the repository - and node_modules ship as a Lambda Layer so the deployment package stays small. Background work runs as its own functions: an events handler and a snapshots handler, both on EventBridge schedules.

Identity is Amazon Cognito, but authorization is the platform's own: a custom Lambda authorizer validates the JWT, then a policies, roles, groups and users model in the framework's access-manager package decides what the caller may touch. An export API is mounted deliberately outside the authorizer, so integrations can pull data without a portal session.

The portal itself is a React single-page app - React 17 on Create React App, routed with React Router and lazy-loaded pages behind a ProtectedRoute, styled with MUI and Emotion over a large SCSS layer. The working surfaces are the ones a consulting engagement actually needs: DevExtreme data grids for portfolio tables, Formik and Yup forms for the stage-gate steps, ApexCharts, Chart.js, gauges and sparklines for KPI dashboards, rich-text editing, drag-and-drop reordering, a calendar and maps. Axios interceptors attach the bearer token and log the user out on a 401, so an expired session ends cleanly instead of failing page by page. The build ships as static files to S3 behind CloudFront.

The public marketing site is a separate project and not part of that work: it ran on a HubSpot theme in 2024-2025 and on a Lovable and Supabase build from 2026.
