A medium-sized business based in the USA, specializing in the production and online sale of a wide range of herbal medicines, teas, and various alternative medicine products. The company's only distribution channel is an e-commerce service that connects buyers from across the country. In its market, the platform is a revolutionary service with no direct competition.
About the Client:
The existing e-commerce solution was no longer meeting the needs of the business. There was no built-in process for product delivery, and the platform lacked a centralized order management system, resulting in a significant amount of manual work. Customers could not track their purchases and often had to contact the call center for updates on their order status.
Project Overview
Given the company's rapid growth, it was necessary to transform the standard e-commerce service into a unique ecosystem that could seamlessly connect customers, couriers, and the business on a single digital platform. The client required both a web-based software solution and a mobile application. The IT product needed to include several key features:
  • Implement a supply chain management system for efficient handling of product deliveries.
  • Enable real-time driver tracking for both dispatchers and customers.
  • Create a centralized order management system to automate processes and reduce manual tasks.
  • Integrate a database to store customer information, preferences, and more.
  • Provide transparent financial reporting and other key business metrics.
Challenges & Objectives
During the project, the digital platform for supply chain management included the following features:
Cloud-based Back-Office Software:
  • A backend solution for managing orders, inventory, and logistics.
Customer Mobile App:
  • Product catalog with filtering options.
  • Delivery method selection (courier/pick-up).
  • Order history and favorites list.
  • Real-time courier tracking via Google Maps.
  • Multiple payment options.
  • Chat support and customer reviews system.
Driver Mobile App:
  • Customer chat integration.
  • Google Maps integration for route optimization.
  • Order and delivery management.
  • Inventory and driver rating overview.
Integration with various systems (regulatory, warehouse management, accounting software).
KYC (Know Your Customer) verification system to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
Real-time delivery tracking for both the business and customers.
Multi-functional Admin Panel:
  • User, order, and status management.
  • Product catalog management.
  • Delivery manifest creation.
  • Basic sales statistics.
  • Review and chat systems.

The platform was designed to provide a comprehensive solution for managing the entire delivery process—from placing an order to its receipt by the customer—ensuring full transparency, efficiency, and ease for all participants.
