Summary

“Aconcagua”is a SaaS platform built to automate the permit management workflow for businesses operating on Mount Aconcagua. It was inspired by real work I did for a local company, where I saw firsthand how much time was spent on repetitive manual tasks. I designed the platform to simplify these tasks and turn hours of manual work into a streamlined digital system.

My process

The idea for “Aconcagua” came from real work I did with a local Aconcagua tourism company, where I saw how much time was spent manually managing permits. I started by mapping the workflow and identifying opportunities for automation, then designed the system’s structure and user flows. From there, I moved into interface design and development, focusing on creating a simple experience for users while handling complex processes behind the scenes.

Key Features

Some standout features of this system are:

AI-powered document scanning to automatically detect client names and nationalities from uploaded images.
Automatic PDF generation and merging from image documents belonging to the same client.
Gmail integration for draft email generation and automatic client information retrieval.
Smart document cleanup to keep the system lightweight and optimize storage usage

Takeaways

Building “Aconcagua” on my own pushed me to think not just like a developer, but like a product designer—identifying a real problem, designing a solution, and turning it into a working system. It taught me how to structure a full SaaS platform, integrate external services, and build automation that meaningfully reduces repetitive work.
