We took over a bespoke tool from its external maker, rebuilt it on our own Cloudflare infrastructure and expanded it into exactly what the kitchen and drivers need every day. Zero dependency, ready for high volume.
Bastiano had a handy order-reporting tool, but running and extending it depended entirely on the external maker. The question: how do we make that tool fully Bastiano's, and better at the same time?
The existing tool ran on an outdated stack and depended entirely on its original maker. Every change or outage hinged on someone else. And the daily workflow, prepping in the kitchen, delivering by van and customers who pick up, was missing crucial information in the right place.
We took the tool over entirely and rebuilt it on our own Cloudflare infrastructure with our own authentication, so Bastiano no longer depends on anyone. Then a fully new version on a modern stack, extended with exactly what the team needs every day, in close consultation with the owner.
The tool now runs entirely on our own Cloudflare infrastructure: a Worker for the logic, Pages for the app and our own OAuth for the Shopify connection. No more vendor lock-in, no more waiting until someone else has time. Bastiano owns the full chain, and the order data stays safely behind Shopify authentication.
The main screen shows at a glance what needs to be ready that day, with quick buttons for today, tomorrow, the day after and yesterday. The prep list bundles all products with the right quantities. The delivery cards show customer name, address, phone and the delivery time, sorted by time and ready for the route. The whole app is styled in Bastiano's own colours, and a built-in manual keeps the team self-reliant.
Order notes like "no onion" or an allergy appear prominently next to the right order, so the kitchen misses nothing. A warning pops up the moment an order has no delivery date or type, so no order slips through unnoticed. On top of that: section navigation to focus on one part at a time (all, prep, deliveries or pickups), deliveries you sort by delivery time or postcode for the route, the phone number on pickups too so you can call a customer who does not show up, sortable columns, a real Excel export with multiple sheets and a kitchen-friendly print layout where you choose which lists go on paper, each on its own page.
Bastiano delivers with several drivers, and handing everyone the same list of all deliveries led to mistakes. Now you split the deliveries per driver: one click divides them by postcode into contiguous zones, then you adjust freely, and you print each driver their own route sheet. The split is shared across every computer and lives with the day, because new orders join automatically and cancelled ones drop off.
Next to each delivery, the mileage allowance appears right away: the road distance from the premises to the customer is calculated automatically and multiplied by the rate, which you set yourself. Nobody has to look up or recount kilometres anymore.
Bastiano has two Shopify stores: a B2B store and the busy B2C store. One shared codebase serves them both. The differences between the stores live in the data, not in the code, so an improvement applies to both at once.
We swapped the outdated base for a modern stack with Vite and React 18: noticeably lighter, faster and much easier to extend. The data comes through Shopify's modern GraphQL Admin API with a server-side filter, ready for high volume. And the app is secured with Shopify session tokens: only a genuine, fresh request from the store itself reaches the order data.
Fully owned infrastructure and authentication. No vendor lock-in, Bastiano owns the whole chain.
Delivery-ready lists and routes per driver, with address, time, notes and kilometres. Immediately usable in the kitchen and the van.
Modern stack and GraphQL, live on both the quiet B2B and the busy B2C store.

Client reviews
Why entrepreneurs love working with ClickForest.
After consulting several website builders, our choice fell on "ClickForest". Not the cheapest, but they proposed a direct and personal approach. Thanks to a good collaboration with Frederiek, our new website "Servaes Services" was launched quickly and efficiently, and we highly recommend them.
Excellent service and a beautiful end result. My website was built professionally, with great attention to detail and user-friendliness. Smooth communication, fast execution and a very pleasant collaboration. Definitely recommended!!!
From the very first conversation I immediately felt a connection with Frederiek. The passion and dedication he puts into his work and projects has genuinely moved me on more than one occasion. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge, and that really comes through! He is also open to dialogue and always stays close to the ball, making every small step feel like a giant leap forward. What impresses me most is his long-term vision. From the very beginning of our collaboration you can feel that he is not just out to deliver work and send an invoice. He thinks ahead with me towards where I want my project to be in one year, three years, five years and beyond. Thank you for all your wonderful work so far, Frederiek, and I hope we can continue to work together successfully for many years to come!
Five years ago I went all-in and made a bold investment. The restaurant was a thing of the past, and the new webshop built by Clickforest became our future. What started as an emergency solution grew into a beautiful, well-running Shopify shop and a collaboration with a reliable, trusted partner I can count on completely. In hindsight, it was a bull's-eye. When corona forced all restaurants to close, I knew immediately: this is going to last longer than three weeks. I refused to give up and decided to look forward. As a chef and restaurant owner I had zero experience with online marketing or SEO, it was completely new to me. But thanks to Frederiek at Clickforest I learnt step by step how it all works. The result? Our sales grow every year. Frederiek keeps coming with new ideas and handy tools to improve the shop further, I just need to put them into practice. Today I enjoy quality of life again. More and more processes are automated, so the webshop runs in the evening while I used to be sweating in the kitchen. I now have a stable, loyal team for many years, and all of that thanks to the single decision to go all-in on the online shop and trust Frederiek blindly. Even today we are still expanding. Our delivery is now split into zones, and Frederiek built that seamlessly into our shop. My ChatGPT has meanwhile been turned into Bastiano's own content studio, yet another smart step forward thanks to him. If I had to give stars, five stars would be far too few. 10/10 mate! Without Frederiek I would never have made it. Eternal gratitude! Debby Swinnen - Owner - Bastiano Italian cuisine con tanto amore ❤️
From the very first conversation with Frederiek at Clickforest we knew we were dealing with the right person. His approach is not only well thought-out and strategic, but also surprisingly confrontational, in the most positive sense of the word. He immediately put his finger on pain points we had not even considered ourselves. Frederiek has an impressive and in-depth knowledge of marketing, Shopify, Google and Meta. What truly sets him apart is his ability to seamlessly integrate all these platforms into one powerful whole. Moreover, Frederiek is an extremely pleasant person to work with. He is clear in his communication, thinks along with you, is enthusiastic and at the same time realistic. In short: if you are looking for someone who thinks beyond standard solutions and works towards the best result in a pleasant way, Clickforest is more than the right choice.

As a small business owner, SEO always felt like a distraction from my work, but that changed completely when I started working with Frederiek at ClickForest. I am by nature quite sceptical about digital marketing, but Frederiek treated my small business with the same care you would expect from a large corporate client. Instead of leaving me in the dark, he took the time to explain the fundamentals so I could better understand my own website. That transparency genuinely gave me more confidence and a valuable new set of tools. He handled the time difference between the US and Europe very well and was always willing to jump on a call when it suited me. He also worked directly with my web developer to complete the technical and on-page changes without any issues or downtime. Our visibility has increased enormously and I finally feel that I have our organic growth under control. If you are based in the United States and are looking for someone who knows their stuff and genuinely cares about your business, I can wholeheartedly recommend ClickForest.
Clickforest is not just a digital agency. Their advice makes a real difference. Every recommendation feels tailored, actionable and based on genuine experience. They do not simply push generic marketing tactics; they take the time to understand your goals and give you clear, structured guidance that actually delivers results. The team's knowledge and strategic thinking have saved me time, money and a great deal of trial and error. If you are looking for a partner who delivers real value instead of empty buzzwords, I wholeheartedly recommend Clickforest.
