Barbeque Nation — Partner Portal
An ERP-integrated partner portal unifying vendor onboarding with GST, PAN, FSSAI and MSME checks, multi-stakeholder approvals, contract lifecycle management and a live vendor ledger.
Vendor, contract and finance operations digitized at scale in one dual portal for internal teams and vendors, with the ERP kept as the system of record.

BeanBot — The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
An embeddable AI chat assistant grounded in live catalogue and store data, with an “Order Now” action on every product and a no-code admin console for content and pricing.
Live across 50+ outlets in India, handling about 10,000 conversations a month and around 50 orders a day.
A custom web ERP with nine integrated modules — CRM, projects, tasks, timesheets, GST invoicing, payments and recurring AMC billing — on a type-safe React and PostgreSQL stack.
The whole company now works from the same data every day — leads, projects, hours and invoices linked, role-aware and auditable.

Vezito — Food Delivery Platform
Customer, restaurant-partner and rider apps in Flutter on one Node.js backend, an admin panel and the marketing website, with Petpooja integration for menus, orders, order status and store hours.
Launched in 2026: the customer app is live on Google Play and the App Store, and partner restaurants handle Vezito orders from their Petpooja POS.
Large Scale Surveys: a mobile survey app with enumerator logins, mandatory OD forms and GPS on every submission, plus an admin panel with a live dashboard, map pins and Excel export, built in two months.
54,169 surveys completed by 28 enumerators in three weeks of fieldwork, with a busiest day of 4,045 roadside surveys.
Versioned, documented endpoints in Express or NestJS, with validation, authentication (JWT, OTP, SSO) and role-based access.
02
System integrations
Connectors to ERPs, payment providers, CRMs and partner APIs, with idempotent retries and audit logging.
03
Queues & background jobs
BullMQ and Redis workers for emails, imports, notifications and scheduled work that should never block a request.
04
Real-time services
WebSocket and event-driven features such as live status, notifications and dashboards that update without a refresh.
05
Data access
PostgreSQL schemas, migrations and queries through Prisma, with Redis caching where reads dominate.
06
Production readiness
Tests, structured logging, health checks and Docker builds, so services deploy cleanly through CI/CD.
Teams that hire Node.js developers
Product teams that need an API layer
Companies whose web or mobile front ends are waiting on new endpoints, authentication or a cleaner contract between client and server.
Businesses connecting systems
Teams that must sync an ERP, payment gateway, CRM or partner API with their own platform reliably, with retries when a call fails.
Real-time and event-driven products
Products with live updates, notifications, chat or order tracking, where WebSockets, queues and background workers carry the load.
Teams untangling a Node.js monolith
Engineering teams splitting an overgrown Express app into modules or services, adding types, tests and observability as they go.
Why hire Node.js developers from Mindrops
Node.js behind enterprise portals
Mindrops built the Node.js, Express and PostgreSQL platform behind the Barbeque Nation partner portal, integrated with the client’s ERP as the system of record.
Typed APIs with Prisma
Our BeanBot build runs on a TypeScript Express API with Prisma and PostgreSQL, the stack many product teams are standardising on.
Security where data enters
Engineers work to a secure SDLC with threat modelling, code review and VAPT, which matters most in the API layer that handles logins and customer data.
Hours that overlap yours
Working hours overlap with the UK and Europe, so API reviews, releases and stand-ups happen while your own team is online.
Reviews of work in this area, followed by reviews of other Mindrops projects.
Food delivery ecosystem
Customer, restaurant-partner and rider apps, an admin panel and a marketing website for a pure-vegetarian delivery service, built from scratch.
From the client’s review
“The customer app, restaurant app, and rider app all feel like they belong to the same ecosystem rather than being built separately and assembled later.”
A Mindrops team working alongside the client’s own engineers on software development and cloud-based projects, brought in to add reliable delivery capacity.
From the client’s review
“Mindrops handled complex requirements with ease and added value throughout the project.”
We capture your framework (Express or NestJS), data stores, integration targets, seniority and engagement model.

What do Node.js developers from Mindrops build?
REST and GraphQL APIs, integrations with ERP, payment and partner systems, background job queues and real-time features, typically in TypeScript on Express or NestJS with PostgreSQL and Redis.
Express or NestJS: which do your developers use?
Both are in the core skill set. Tell us which your codebase uses, or ask for a recommendation, and the shortlist is matched to it.
Can a Node.js developer handle integrations with our ERP or CRM?
Yes. Integrating external systems is everyday Node.js work; Mindrops built the ERP-integrated Barbeque Nation partner portal on Node.js and PostgreSQL.
How quickly can we add a Node.js engineer?
Usually a shortlist arrives in about 48 hours and onboarding follows within days of your choice. You interview every candidate first.
Which engagement models work for backend hiring?
Individual engineers through staff augmentation, a dedicated team when you need a wider squad, or fixed-price and time & materials for defined work. See engagement models.
Do we own the APIs and code?
Yes. All source code, API documentation and related IP are yours, with clean handover.
