Boxforward: Freight Forwarding Logistics Web Service

Boxforward (former NYCMSK) provides customers with a US mailing address and the package of services that includes receiving and processing orders in a warehouse, goods packaging and parcels shipment to the address indicated by the customer.

CHALLENGE

Shop And Ship LLC has been developing a new version of the service to replace a technically outdated one, which was too difficult and expensive to support and extend with new functionality. The Client started work on the new version with another team; however, he wasn’t satisfied with the team as they couldn’t develop the system on time and make it of good quality.

Testing of the service, its new functions was superficial and many of the internal  problems were not revealed which led to the unstable work of the application.

OUR SOLUTION

After stabilizing the previous version, we focused on the new functionality implementation. We changed the app architecture qualitatively and integrated it with a new payment system (Payonline) and the Boxberry parcels delivery system.

 

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS MADE:

  • SSL integration for secure payments ( A+ sslabs);
  • Migration of all data to the new website;
  • Web server work optimization;
  • Staging launch;
  • Custom forum introduction;
  • Integration of Ruby-based administration module with and Wordpress-based frontend
  • Implementation of 4 types of user profiles (superadmin, admin, operator, user) with extended rights management system.
