Challenge

When our team took over the platform, the product was technically operational — but unreliable.

Key infrastructure components were unstable, and much of the work required manual backend intervention.

The main challenges were:

Unstable LinkedIn Integration

LinkedIn constantly updates its request and response structures. Even small changes could break workflows and disrupt the entire automation chain. There was no reliable monitoring or validation layer in place.

Proxy Infrastructure Instability

The system relied heavily on proxy providers to manage user sessions safely. Multiple providers had been tested, but proxies frequently dropped, changed IP geolocation, or failed mid-session — preventing users from completing actions.

Session Management Complexity

Each user required an isolated, persistent session. Coordinating proxies, backend requests, and session continuity was fragile and error-prone.

Manual Operations & Billing Model Limitations

Core workflows were executed manually. Engineers had to trigger and monitor backend jobs for client requests, resulting in daily operational overhead and limiting scalability.

At the same time, all clients were managed manually for billing purposes. Payments were processed via invoices only. There was no subscription system, no automation, and no scalable monetization logic.

Limited Automation and Observability

Post collection ran only once every 24 hours. Users had to wait for updates. There was minimal automation for comment replies or engagement flows.

In short, the product was inconsistent, not automatic, and couldn’t scale.

Project Scope

Crunch-IS was engaged to:

  • Stabilize core infrastructure.
  • Rebuild proxy and session orchestration.
  • Eliminate manual backend operations.
  • Improve automation frequency and reliability.
  • Modernize the UI and user experience.
  • Introduce a scalable self-service billing model.

Solution We Delivered

Infrastructure Stabilization & Automated Validation

We redesigned how the system interacts with LinkedIn.

A validation layer was introduced to automatically detect changes in API responses and prevent cascading failures. Continuous monitoring and retry logic significantly reduced system breakdowns.

Intelligent Proxy Orchestration

After testing 5–6 providers, we selected a stable proxy partner and implemented automated proxy rotation and health checks.

If a proxy failed or changed behavior, the system replaced it automatically — without affecting the user.

This eliminated a major source of user friction.

Secure Session Architecture

We rebuilt session persistence to securely combine:

  • user session storage;
  • dedicated proxy routing;
  • backend request orchestration.

Each user now operates in an isolated, reliable environment — reducing login failures and unexpected session drops.

Full Workflow Automation

Previously, engineers manually triggered backend jobs for client requests.

We replaced this with automated pipelines:

  • users upload files or configure flows;
  • jobs trigger automatically;
  • monitoring is centralized;
  • support review takes under 5 minutes per day.

Manual operational effort was reduced from ~2 hours daily to approximately 5 minutes of oversight.

Real-Time Post Collection Upgrade

Post aggregation frequency was improved from once every 24 hours to hourly.

This resulted in:

  • 24× faster content updates;
  • more relevant and timely posts;
  • increased engagement opportunities for users.

Self-Service Subscription & Hybrid Billing Model

We transformed the business model from fully manual invoicing to a flexible SaaS structure.

The platform now supports:

  • automated subscription payments for standard packages;
  • manual billing for custom enterprise plans.

This allows heet.ai to operate both as a self-service product and as a tailored solution for advanced clients — without operational overhead.

UI & Feature Modernization

We enhanced the interface and introduced:

  • automated comment reply functionality;
  • improved tracking of views and engagement;
  • better UX flows for content configuration;
  • streamlined dashboards.

The platform evolved from a backend-driven to a user-driven model.
