Description
Vidty is a client portal for a YouTube-only agency where users can submit videos for optimization, create tasks for the team, track progress, receive notifications, and review growth results. The platform replaced manual Google Sheets workflows with a structured dashboard, internal task management, reporting, credit-based pricing, and client communication tools.
Task
The workflow was too manual: tasks were managed in spreadsheets, statuses were updated inconsistently, and clients had limited visibility into progress. The API and internal logic needed better scalability, role management, audit trails, data protection, reliable task processing, and notifications. YouTube analytics reports were slow to prepare, some actions were duplicated manually, and the credit system required accurate tracking of balances and deductions.
Solution
Built the backend for the client portal with user accounts, roles, tasks, statuses, credit balances, and operation history. Moved heavy processes into queues, including notifications, report generation, analytics processing, and background status updates. Added validation, authorization, audit logging, API protection, and a cleaner data model. Optimized reporting flows and created a transparent workflow for both the internal team and clients.
Results
Clients received a single dashboard instead of scattered messages and spreadsheets, while the team became faster at processing tasks. Work statuses became transparent and manageable, manual errors decreased, credit accounting became easier, reports were prepared faster, and the agency got a stronger foundation for scaling operations.
