Bolt Energie
Cyrex partnered with Bolt Energie to refactor its platform architecture, centralize business logic, integrate third-party services via an API-first approach, and deliver a scalable customer and client management ecosystem.
The Challenge
Refactoring a Bootstrapped Architecture into a Scalable Platform
Bolt Energie is reshaping the Belgian energy market by enabling consumers to purchase electricity directly from local, renewable producers. As a fast-growing startup, Bolt initially operated on a bootstrapped architecture composed of multiple interconnected third-party services.
As the platform matured, scalability and maintainability became critical.
Bolt required:
- Centralization of business logic across services
- A scalable and extensible architecture
- Streamlined third-party integrations
- A customer-facing application for contract and consumption management
- A robust internal client management system
The challenge was not simply adding features. It required architectural redesign — moving from loosely connected services to a cohesive, API-driven ecosystem capable of supporting long-term growth.
The Cyrex Solution
API-First Architecture & Full Ecosystem Refactor
Following structured consultations, Cyrex designed and implemented a comprehensive refactoring strategy centered around an API-first approach.
Architecture Refactor & Centralization
Cyrex:
- Consolidated distributed business logic into centralized services
- Standardized service integrations
- Designed scalable API contracts
- Improved synchronization across third-party components
This restructuring enabled Bolt to transition from fragmented service orchestration to a cohesive, maintainable framework.
Salesforce Integration & Data Migration
A major component of the engagement included:
- Migrating the entire datastore to Salesforce
- Integrating Salesforce as a core consumable service
- Ensuring secure and consistent data flows between systems
This enabled Bolt to leverage Salesforce capabilities while maintaining architectural consistency.
Customer-Facing Application Development
Cyrex developed a standalone application that allowed customers to:
- Manage energy contracts
- Monitor energy consumption
- View local energy producers
- Access invoices and billing information
The application was designed for scalability and future feature expansion.
Client Management System
To support internal operations, Cyrex delivered a dedicated client management system, enabling Bolt administrators to:
- Oversee contracts and customer data
- Manage integrations efficiently
- Maintain operational control across services
This improved business process organization and operational transparency.
The Outcome
Scalable Infrastructure & Operational Control
- Centralized business logic and service integrations
- API-first architecture foundation
- Successful Salesforce migration and integration
- Customer-facing application for contract and consumption management
- Dedicated internal client management system
