Mijn Tuinaannemer

Mijn Tuinaannemer is a live Flemish platform where visitors search for garden professionals by service, region and postcode. They review profiles, completed work and service areas before contacting a selected professional directly. The platform does not sell leads or organise a bidding contest.

An automated back office supports the public website. Registration, fixed validation, public-data enrichment, geocoding, AI-assisted profile drafting, local SEO, account access and communication form one operational flow. Publication and sensitive profile changes remain under human control.

• Context: public discoverability and operational management for Flemish garden professionals
• Project: live platform with a public website, contractor portal and automated back office
• Status: live
• Role of 5A Technologies: product concept, solution architecture, full-stack development, data model, automation, security, technical SEO and deployment
• Core principles: approved source data, bounded AI, deterministic SEO and human publication control

Important design principle

AI can prepare profile content but does not autonomously decide what becomes public. Uncertain information and sensitive profile changes remain visible for human review.

Maintaining a platform with local business profiles involves recurring operational work:

• validating registrations and contact details;
• structuring websites, social channels and services;
• geocoding addresses and linking service areas;
• preparing profile copy and metadata;
• managing accounts, invitations and status messages;
• reviewing media and profile changes;
• following up subscriptions and payments;
• keeping public search, region and service pages consistent.

The solution needed to reduce repetitive work without automatically publishing uncertain information or delegating the quality assessment of a garden professional to software.

The public experience and back office share one controlled lifecycle from registration to publication and later profile management.

Registration and fixed validation

A garden professional submits company and contact details, services, specialisms, service area, website, social channels and permitted media. Fixed rules check formats, duplicates, address information and uploads.

Public-source enrichment and geocoding

Submitted public sources are checked for availability and their relationship to the business. Useful context can enrich services, specialisms, regions and contact information. Conflicting or insufficiently certain information remains visible for review and is not published automatically.

Geocoding converts the address into coordinates. Location, the stated operating radius and postcode data provide relationships for postcode search, regional results, map views and local service pages.

AI-assisted profile preparation and review

Based on validated sources, AI prepares a consistent profile draft with a summary, detailed profile copy and suggestions for metadata and alternative text.

The AI layer does not determine routes, canonicals, indexability, geographic relationships or structured data. These remain fixed, testable software logic. An administrator reviews the sources, warnings, geographic coverage and suggested content and can correct, reprocess, reject or approve them.

Publication, account access and moderated changes

After approval, the profile feeds the public profile page, relevant search layers and local metadata. A linked Directus user receives the appropriate role and secure access to the contractor portal.

Transactional communication supports registration confirmation, missing-information requests, decisions, account access, onboarding and relevant subscription or payment states. Delivery status and history bound retries and help prevent duplicate messages.

The garden professional can manage their own details, services, service area and media in the portal. A proposed portal change does not directly overwrite the public source; it is stored as a separate edit request. An administrator compares the request with the current source data and approves, corrects or rejects it. Only an approved change returns to the website through the same controlled publication logic.

Visitors search by postcode, region and service, compare relevant profiles, view photos and completed work and contact a professional directly. Server-side rendering and controlled revalidation support fast, indexable profile, service and region pages.

The back office processes registrations and profile data outside the public read layer. Only approved source data feeds search results, maps, metadata, structured data, internal links and sitemap logic. Public pages have no direct write access to operational profile data.

The solution combines a public search experience, operational data, background workflows and secure access.

Public experience

• Next.js, React and TypeScript support the public website.
• Visitors search by postcode, region and service and review profiles, photos, completed work and service areas.
• Server-side rendering and controlled revalidation support fast, indexable profile, service and region pages.

Data and operational back office

• Directus and PostgreSQL manage content, relationships, users and workflow data.
• Registrations and profile data are processed outside the public read layer.
• Only approved source data feeds search results, maps, metadata, structured data, internal links and sitemap logic.

Workflows and integrations

• n8n supports background processes and connections to AI, communication, geocoding and payments.
• Geocoding connects the address, operating radius and postcode data to search results, regions, maps and local service pages.
• Delivery status and history bound retries and help prevent duplicate transactional communication.

Security and publication

• Tokens and secrets remain server-side.
• Roles and profile links restrict portal access to the owner's profile.
• The public website reads only publishable data and has no direct operational write access.
• Portal changes do not directly overwrite the public source and return through the controlled publication logic only after approval.

At 5A Technologies, we shaped the product concept and business model and delivered the solution architecture, public search and profile experience, full-stack implementation, Directus data model, onboarding and enrichment, AI-assisted profile preparation, geocoding, portal and admin flows, communication, payments, security, technical SEO and deployment.

Mijn Tuinaannemer connects public discoverability with a manageable operational lifecycle. Garden professionals manage their presence, visitors find relevant profiles and the platform team retains control over publication and exceptions.

• Business validation does not guarantee recognition, permits or quality of work.
• AI prepares content but does not autonomously decide what becomes public.
• A submitted portal change does not appear on the website automatically.
• No guaranteed rankings, leads, revenue or conversion results are claimed.
• Internal prompts, tokens, customer data and private integration details remain outside the public project page.

This project shows how 5A Technologies:

• designs public discoverability and an operational profile lifecycle as one system;
• validates registrations, address information and uploads with fixed rules;
• enriches public sources while conflicting or uncertain information remains under review;
• separates AI-assisted profile preparation from deterministic routes, canonicals, indexability, geographic relationships and structured data;
• uses geocoding for postcode search, regional results, maps and local service pages;
• routes profile changes through separate edit requests and human moderation before publication.
