How Replenysh Transformed Sustainability Operations with Supabase and Explo

Replenysh, a trailblazer at the intersection of sustainability, marketing, and supply chain logistics, connects individuals with materials to businesses that need them. Positioned as a “reverse Amazon,” the platform creates transparency and efficiency in the recovery of materials, helping brands reduce waste and strengthen customer relationships. Operating in a competitive landscape dominated by wasteful practices, Replenysh’s main rival is the landfill itself.

To scale their operations and deliver enhanced value to their customers, Replenysh adopted Supabase and Explo—two complementary solutions that streamlined their backend operations and embedded analytics.

Replenysh faced two critical challenges:

1. Backend Development: They needed a scalable database solution that could support their rapid growth without draining developer resources.
2. Embedded Analytics: As their user base expanded, data insights became a critical value-add. However, their existing manual reporting and custom dashboard solutions required significant engineering resources and lacked flexibility.

Replenysh sought tools that would accelerate development and improve their ability to deliver real-time, customizable analytics to their end users.

Supabase

When evaluating database solutions, Replenysh prioritized fast setup, scalability, built-in authentication, and developer-friendly tools. Supabase quickly emerged as the ideal solution for their needs.

Why Supabase?

• Fast Setup: A few hours were all it took to prototype Supabase in a sandbox environment and confirm its performance.
• Postgres Foundation: Familiarity with Postgres allowed for an easy migration and access to a strong ecosystem of tools.
• Out-of-the-Box Features: Instant APIs, asset storage, row-level security, and a schema visualizer for onboarding made it a comprehensive solution.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Supabase delivered enterprise-grade features without breaking the bank.

Within weeks, Replenysh transitioned Supabase into production, leveraging its built-in tools to improve file management, tighten access controls, and onboard new team members with ease.

Explo

To meet growing demand for actionable data insights from their end-users, Replenysh turned to Explo for embedded analytics. The goal was to eliminate the engineering overhead of building custom dashboards while enhancing their platform’s analytics capabilities.

Why Explo?

• Ease of Integration: Embedding white-labeled dashboards took only a few hours, freeing up engineering resources for core product development.
• Customization & Security: Explo’s robust security features and customizable dashboards ensured a seamless experience for both Replenysh and their customers.

By leveraging Explo’s Report Builder the same enterprise customers gained the ability to create their own reports in minutes—drastically improving engagement and satisfaction.

Supabase + Explo: A Perfect Match

The integration between Supabase and Explo was seamless. With Supabase’s Postgres database serving as a reliable backend, Replenysh set up dedicated read-only analytics views for Explo to query. This approach maintained high performance and minimized security risks.

Key Results of the Integration:

• Fast Setup: The initial configuration and prototype dashboard were completed within a few hours.
• Optimized Performance: Supabase’s indexing and efficient query performance supported Explo’s analytics workloads with ease.
