Client Requirements

The organization the client represents operates in the US retail industry and specializes in product promotion. Their platform serves as a meeting ground for vendors, customers, and affiliates, providing a solution for distributing promotional products and connecting salespeople.

The client sought to develop an application allowing customers to make product requests while affiliates could check their availability. If the product is unavailable, the affiliates could contact vendors to create a custom product and send a quote to the customers.

Thinkitive Solution

To create the web application, Thinkitive Technologies brought together a team of developers who worked on both the front and back end. We focused on critical modules, such as Inventory Management, Customer Management, Jobs, Presentations, and Quotes.

The developers collaborated with the client's product managers to thoroughly understand the business requirements. Using Agile methodology, we implemented the features in an optimized way. Drawing from our existing retail domain knowledge, we provided valuable input to enhance the platform with new functionalities. Our skilled developers followed the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process to produce bug-free and scalable software.
