Business сhallenge

The old online order service was based on an outdated technical solution and required high expenses on manual order processing.

The Client made a decision to develop a new web app, which would have an extended functionality helping to manage the following issues:

automatic record of number of the goods available/sold;
system of customers’ rewards/ gift cards;
customer management system;
order management;
reporting.

The main non-functional requirements were:

high speed of development;
simplicity of making modifications in future;
possibility of fast first version implementation (without new design) to replace the existing solution as fast as possible.

Our solution

We developed a web solution based on a popular library for ecommerce applications – Spree Commerce. The choice of this library allowed implementing the solution pretty fast.

Typical e-commerce functions:

registration;
search;
orders management;
product management;
basket;
check out process;
customer service;
payment systems integration.

We implemented main modules of the e-commerce application almost without efforts and concentrated on the development of custom functionality (reporting, promotion and gift cards modules).

We also developed a stand-alone Client application, which allows development of mobile applications for different platforms by “assembling” a mobile app from a ready-made Client.
