Project Description
The project focused on migrating functionality from a desktop application built on MS Access to facilitate inventory data management and operations with goods within VROM’s eBay listings/lots. Our team undertook the development of a warehouse management web application, addressing tasks such as data transfer, establishing coherent relationships among project entities, and managing data based on existing queries.
Challenges & Project Goals
The client needed to migrate their outdated MS Access database to an online web-based format, and TATEEDA completed the task, exceeding expectations. As VROM Automation relies on eBay as its main e-commerce platform, they aimed to synchronize their warehousing system with online sales.
Challenges We Faced
- The project encountered various challenges, with the most complex being integrating their website with eBay accounts through API to interconnect sales and warehousing operations between systems.
- Dealing with the outdated code of MS Access and its architecture posed a significant challenge.
- The substantial volume of existing code required meticulous testing and verification to ensure the transferred functionality worked correctly in the new environment.
- Real difficulties emerged when coordinating styles and the appearance of the interface to ensure uniformity after migration.
Project Goals
- Transfer business data and functionality to updated web software.
- Adapt the database, rewrite SQL queries, and align the data structure.
- Create universal grid solutions requiring a deep understanding of functionality and user requirements, addressing a large number of possible use cases, and configuring grids for different departments and users.
- Introduce a new UI library and migrate from ng-zorro to devextreme.
