Our client, a leading distributor of petroleum products, faced a challenge with their outdated ERP system for processing orders. They wanted to upgrade to a new system but found that it lacked an easy-to-use sales portal for their in-field sales team. We helped them build an intuitive and efficient sales portal that transformed their sales process. This case study showcases how we overcame these challenges and delivered a modern solution in a timely manner.
Admin Portal
We utilized our expertise to analyze the client's current sales workflow and their previous sales portal. Our goal was to identify the features and capabilities that needed to be incorporated into the new sales portal. Based on the research and effort, we designed the entire UX from scratch. In addition, we spent considerable time comprehending the client's ERP, including its data model, structure, and business logic. To retrieve information from the ERP, we created custom APIs.
Our team utilized Node.js and Java to build the entire application, which included new features and administration capabilities. We also integrated the system with enterprise security features like SSO. The outcome is that our clients can now sell effortlessly, support their customers, spend less time placing orders, and devote more time to serving their customers. The new ERP has helped them improve sales efficiency, become more tech-savvy, and access new benefits and capabilities to enhance innovation for a better future.
There was no documentation available, and the ERP lacked modern APIs. The few web services that were present were not sufficient to support the features required for the sales portal. To overcome this challenge, we had to delve deeper into the ERP's functionality, business logic, and data models to develop a strategy for building on top of the industry-specific ERP. Leveraging our extensive experience working with different ERPs, we carefully examined the technical details, data models, and interfaces, considered the requirements, and successfully unlocked this ERP to meet our client's needs.
