Paayed
Paayed is an all-in-one B2B fintech operating platform built for UK SMEs, enabling businesses to manage payments, accounting, CRM, invoicing, reporting, and day-to-day financial operations from a single unified platform.
The Problem
A growing fintech platform serving UK SMEs was scaling rapidly, but its frontend wasn't.
Components were duplicated across teams, designs were inconsistent, and every new feature required re-solving the same UI problems from scratch.
Maintenance costs were climbing, and the absence of shared standards meant inconsistencies were compounding with every sprint.
