Inventory Management Platform

THE CUSTOMER

The client is a logistics company from Baltimore, USA. As their business grew, they needed to optimize shipping routes and schedules. They were looking for a tool to gather actionable data about warehouse locations, available vehicles, item types and sizes. After doing market research, they concluded that they needed a custom solution.

CHALLENGE

The platform was to be created as a web application providing the personnel with a secure, intuitive and efficient online platform for managing and tracking tasks and available resources. Besides, the platform would log the activity and generate detailed reports for the company’s management.

RESULT
We analyzed several solutions, including the one the client had in place, before writing down all requirements and creating a plan for how we will achieve it.

Then our team developed an inventory management platform that allowed managing orders, goods and delivery. We used Django to ensure the backend would handle a large number of requests and stay easily scalable. During all stages, our team kept a robust feedback loop with the client.

We allocated two frontend developers, three backend developers and a designer for this project. It took us four months and a half to complete the project.

One of our client's major concerns was the cost of delivery. Our project helped them decrease it considerably by selecting better routes to customers.
