Detailed Project Information
Empire Distributions wished to upgrade its warehouse operations by integrating an advanced system to streamline sales, inventory management, and order-picking processes. Their vision was to have a detailed overview of inventory with features like expiry dates, location tracking, and a comprehensive sales system.
Project Challenges:
- The challenge was developing a system that seamlessly integrates various functionalities like tracking expiry dates, inventory location, and a sales and order- picking mechanism.
- The system needed to audit prices and amounts by connecting to QuickBooks, where the entire database could be mirrored.
- The inherited site was riddled with bugs and had never undergone rigorous testing.
Our Solution:
We took over the project from a previous developer, retaining the existing tech stack: React, Firebase, and Node. We also eliminated unnecessary services, introduced cloud function connections, and transitioned the environment from a buggy state to a stable one with our professional services.
We refined the system over three months through iterative development and consistent feedback, ensuring it met the client’s requirements.
Results:
After three focused development phases and three initial launch attempts, the fourth launch was successful, backed by employee and order pickers’ feedback. The result was a rejuvenated, innovative warehouse application tailored to Empire Distributions’ needs.
