IdeaTrack

Type:

Innovation management system

Stack:

React, Spring Boot, Tailwind CSS

Schema:

8+ relational entities

A full-stack system for the unglamorous middle of innovation: not having ideas, but tracking them. Submission, collaboration and multi-stage approval workflows, with React and Tailwind on the front and Spring Boot behind.

The interesting engineering is the schema. Eight or more relational entities — users, ideas, reviews, proposals and the rest — designed to support the workflow rather than to describe it after the fact. An approval pipeline with multiple stages puts real pressure on a data model, because every stage is a state something can be stuck in.

On top of that sits a review and approval pipeline with feedback capture, a voting system, and conversion of approved ideas into proposals — plus an analytics module tracking idea trends, approval rates and participation. Which is how you find out whether an innovation programme is working or just running.

8+ entities, built for the workflow

Users, ideas, reviews and proposals modelled to support multi-stage approval — because every stage is a state a record can sit in.

Plate: nodes

Voting, feedback, conversion

A review pipeline that captures feedback, lets people vote, and turns approved ideas into proposals rather than into a closed ticket.

Analytics on the programme itself

Idea trends, approval rates and participation metrics — evidence about whether the process is producing anything.
