🔨 While everyone else was building loyalty apps for cafés and salons, I went hunting for B2B.

I'm a student in Maastricht, and I deliberately searched the Netherlands for a real industrial business, because every other #GiveItAGlow entry I saw was consumer-facing, and nobody was touching the heavy industry.

I found Laska Speciaal Lasbedrijf: an industrial welding company in Rotterdam, running since 1950. 76 years, five-star reputation, real B2B clients in construction and marine.

One problem: their "Request a Quote" form was broken. Not slow, not outdated — actually broken, showing a raw code error instead of a form. Every day it sat like that, they were losing quote requests from companies who needed an answer fast. 💸

So I rebuilt it. ⚒️

🌐 A professional industrial site — their real 76-year history, real photos of real completed work 📋 A working multi-step quote form — material, scope, deadline, file upload 🤖 An AI workflow that reads every request, classifies it as standard or high-priority based on material and scope, and tells the client what to expect — 3 hours for standard jobs, 24 hours for complex ones — while instantly flagging urgent jobs for the shop manager

I reached out to the real owners by phone and email. They're closed for the weekend, so I'm still waiting to hear back — but wanted to share what's already live and working. 🔥
