Challenge

The most difficult part during the project development was integrating with our client’s e-commerce ERP system. It was already utilized daily, and all order information was stored there. But we managed to overcome the difficulties! We created several unique solutions that allowed us to extract the data and put it on the platform in real-time.

Solution

We looked carefully into these needs and managed to deliver the expected technological solutions. The technology we used was Vue.js for front-end development and Ruby on Rails for the back-end side. With a custom wrapper based on Sidekiq API, we could pool new records easily. We used the Redis database and, after some trial and error, we managed to minify the JSON payloads of individual orders to speed up the platform. It resulted in a drop from tens of seconds to a few hundred milliseconds. By the end of the project, we had extra knowledge for further development!

Results

Our cooperation went smoothly. The vendor platform was completed on time and within budget, and it is now fully functioning. Furthermore, we are seeing the first fruits of its implementation and how vendors can sell their items more effectively and view all of the data in real time. The client was highly satisfied with how carefully we listened to their needs and suggestions. We are crossing our fingers that new projects with the client will emerge in the future.
