Software Transformation and Upgrade

Building and integrating new features and systems that make operations more efficient and help the client scale.

Client:

Furniture and appliances retailer

Service type:

Digital transformation

Core technologies:

Microsoft .NET, React, Node.js, PHP

Project Scope

Our team built an order management system for the client. It is used to process orders from all digital channels plus offline stores. We added the feature of dashboards that display real-time data on orders requiring the manager’s attention. Using the system, managers can see orders made by users and create orders by themselves.

Apart from the order management system, we built a service purchase system and product information management system that facilitates the work of the client’s team. Our engineers maintain and improve their public websites and add new features as they scale up.

Also, we integrated tools that collect data on website performance, user behavior, clicks, sessions, orders, conversion rates, and more. This data is used by the HFN managers to craft effective marketing campaigns, improve website usability, develop engaging user journeys, and conduct A/B testing.
