A university orientation portal for Valdo Academics, an Italian agency that guides students at international schools through the choice of what to study and where. Built on Softr with Softr Databases and Vibe Coding, it takes a student from the orientation questionnaire to a ranked degree shortlist, and gives counsellors one page per student to work from.
The whole orientation method ran on Google Forms, Sheets and Docs. Students answered a questionnaire in one tool, a spreadsheet full of formulas turned those answers into scores, and the result came back as a booklet. The pieces never met, so no counsellor could see where a student stood, and no student could follow their own process.
One portal on Softr where the journey happens end to end: the questionnaire, free exploration of the suggested degrees, module by module ratings from 1 to 10, and a ranked shortlist. Counsellors get a page per student with meeting notes, application strategy, a country table with safe, solid and reach universities, suggested admission tests and an IB subject check, plus a cohort dashboard across the year group. Phase 1 was live in 8 days, in time for the first student session in January.
Valdo Academics guides students at international schools in Italy through the decision of what to study and where. Its method lived in Google Forms, Sheets and Docs: a questionnaire in one place, a spreadsheet of scoring formulas in another, and a booklet sent back to each student at the end. Nothing connected, and no counsellor could see a student's full journey in one view. Base Flows rebuilt that journey as a portal on Softr with Softr Databases. Students answer the orientation questionnaire inside the app, then explore the degrees it points them to and rate every course module from 1 to 10. The portal ranks those degrees by the student's own scores and breaks each one down by year and by how much maths the modules carry. The counsellor side turns all of that into a working page per student. Meeting notes sit at the top as an editable table the counsellor can add columns to, followed by the degrees the student explored, a country table where each destination is marked definite, maybe or excluded with its safe, solid and reach universities, and the admission tests that each country and degree combination calls for. The IB subject check puts the six subject groups, the subjects each school offers and the student's three choices side by side, so a counsellor can catch that a missing higher level maths closes a degree in the UK while there is still time to change it. Cohort Insights aggregates the year group for counsellors and admins: how many students have finished, where the cohort is applying, which degrees come up most often and which admission tests to prepare for, with cross filters and a briefing export. Softr Workflows handle the record automations behind the journey, and the scoring the agency already trusted stays in its own spreadsheet, connected back into the portal.

Smartphone wizard that field installers use to register, photograph and verify every AED Sentinel monitoring camera on site. Migrated off Microsoft Power Pages and rebuilt on Softr in two weeks, with six prescribed photos filed in Airtable against the Sentinel ID.
The ALM Member Portal replaces a WordPress and LearnDash course area with one library: 365 training videos and 385 documents, every document next to its video, and progress read from the player itself. Members land on a dashboard, access belongs to the team, and the ALM team publishes and gates content without a developer.
