Seema
Seema.de presents a list of beverage machines with categories that allow them to ask for prices. When they ask a price, they start a workflow that admins can control until the machine is sold to the customer. This site is also integrated with Salesforce API. The Rails part is a REST API and Salesforce is linked to program modules using APEX.

This is a very simple site made with RefineryCMS. I implemented customizations on the menus and for some parties for the multi-language. The design is simple as per client specifications.
Stockpilot
