Abroad RoutesBuilding on global migration and consultancy needs, the abroadroutes CRM is a full-featured, cloud-driven system orchestrating leads from multiple channels, finance operations, contracts, and customer engagement-all within a microservice, API-first architecture. Each module supports the complex permission and reporting needs of staff, clients, and B2B partners. The platform illustrates best practices in modern software engineering: reusability, automation, and proactive integration of open-source workflow tools such as n8n for future-proof extensibility. Crafted as a part of Angelo Remedios Digital Solutions.

This CRM brings together lead collection from website, Facebook, and WhatsApp, advanced finance (multiple payment methods, refunds, real-time notifications), operations (digital contracts, document management), customer/B2B portals, and a robust permissioned admin. These features address the real-world demands of global mobility providers—requiring secure, compliant, and agile workflows. By architecting for both staff and B2B clients, the system enhances usability, reporting transparency, and future integrations with AI and analytics.
A central challenge was obtaining and automating Facebook lead data-Facebook does not provide direct API support for all CRM needs. Initially, a paid third-party (Albato) served this role. Migrating to n8n (an open-source automation platform) allowed more affordable and flexible lead ingestion, robust error handling, and deep workflow customization—reflecting industry best practice for microservice-led CRM solutions.
A microservice-oriented design was chosen, anchored by Laravel for enterprise back-end reliability and Vue.js for reactive user experiences. Livewire and Alpine.js enhanced interactivity, reducing page load while simplifying state management. n8n automations unified data flows between digital channels, internal modules, and external tools, allowing teams to rapidly develop new integrations or workflows. Every layer is fortified with role-based access and encrypted data storage, ensuring robust compliance and security—key for B2B and financial applications
The solution phases included: rapid prototyping with user feedback, implementation of modular lead/finance/operations/controllers, migration from third-party to in-house automation (n8n), and comprehensive reporting/notification suites. Continuous deployment and integration practices ensured a resilient, upgradable platform. Custom privilege management, audit trails, and B2B sub-portals guarantee compliance and long-term flexibility.
KPIs improved across the board: lead response times dropped by 50%, invoicing/payment handling time halved, and user satisfaction rose due to transparent document and contract processes. Admins reported faster onboarding, granular access, and actionable insights from detailed reporting modules. Migration from expensive SaaS endpoints (Albato) to open-source n8n reduced annual overheads while increasing integration scope—aligning with both business and tech growth objectives.
The CRM has dedicated modules for Lead Management (integrating website, Facebook, WhatsApp), Finance (invoicing, payments, refunds), Operations (contracts, documents), Customer/B2B Portals, and granular Admin controls—enabling seamless automation and reporting
Initially, a third-party solution (Albato) provided lead collection, later replaced by the cost-effective, open-source n8n microservice to ensure direct, flexible API automation—marketing best practice for scalable CRM builds.
abroadroutes CRM was engineered with Laravel, Vue.js, Livewire, Alpine.js, n8n, MySQL, and a REST API-first approach to maximize flexibility, security, and scalability.
Custom builds offer extreme flexibility, granular control over security and user privileges, seamless third-party integration, and are specifically tailored to B2B, financial, and operational needs.
The CRM increased lead conversion rates, improved financial transparency, and streamlined internal workflows, supporting operational scale and client growth.
