Sepow is a modern web-based survey and employee assessment platform developed to help organizations measure employee engagement, performance, and satisfaction through automated scoring and secure access controls. Designed with a clean, professional blue-and-white interface, it simplifies how HR departments and managers collect insights and visualize team analytics in real time.

The MVP was built around a structured 7-question multiple-choice survey system, featuring instant scoring and an administrative dashboard for participation tracking. Organizations can register, manage team members, send unique survey access codes, and generate performance reports — all through a responsive and easy-to-navigate dashboard. Payments are integrated via Stripe for scalable access management and billing.

Process Story

The Sepow project started as a lightweight MVP with an ambitious 40-day timeline, focusing on functional scalability and elegant simplicity. The engineering goal was to create a survey engine capable of securely managing multiple organizations, users, and sessions — with automated scoring and future-proof data modeling. The backend was developed with Node.js and Express using MongoDB/Mongoose for flexible schema handling. The frontend was powered by React and Next.js to ensure smooth navigation and fast rendering.

• Implemented organization-specific secure survey links and access control using tokenized URLs.
• Developed automatic scoring logic for 7-question assessments using weighted scoring rules.
• Integrated Stripe for secure payments and auto-generation of organization access keys.
• Built an admin dashboard for HR teams to monitor survey completion rates and employee metrics.
• Deployed responsive UI aligned with Sepow’s brand design for consistent mobile and desktop experience.
• Implemented analytics and instant score visualization to enhance user engagement.

Key Challenges

Designing Sepow required balancing simplicity with enterprise-grade scalability. The system had to handle multiple organization environments, enforce access restrictions, and compute real-time results without overloading the backend. Additionally, the 40-day MVP deadline demanded careful prioritization and agile delivery cycles. Integration with payment systems and secure session control were top priorities for compliance and trust.

Solutions & Outcomes

The final solution delivered a fast, modular, and extensible platform. Each feature was designed with forward compatibility for future AI integrations — including sentiment analysis and predictive engagement insights. The platform now supports thousands of survey completions with automated result dashboards and organization-specific insights. Since launch, the platform achieved a 99.9% uptime and positive feedback from multiple enterprise clients.
