RetailOps

An intuitive and unified retail platform for back-office

Project idea

Never found a back-office solution containing all the necessary features, RetailOps co-founders decided to build a system from scratch.

Target audience

As of now, the platform focuses on e-commerce and omnichannel retail companies in the United States.

RetailOps
  • Create a completely new UI and UX to make the application more easy-to-use.
  • Reengineer the app and make it run on Swift instead of Cordova.
  • Work with the server-side provided by our clients.
  • Establish a schedule of meetings to bypass a 10-hour time zone gap.
  • Build a solution connecting printers with a portable data terminal.
Results

Our software development team has built a mobile application for iOS running on Swift, having an all-new design, and complying with set requirements.

Main features of the project

After the planning stage, our developers started working on the platform.

Hardware integrations

The application is integrated with the Socket Mobile barcode scanner utilizing its SDK. That means an iPhone can connect with the scanner via Bluetooth. Barcodes can be scanned either by Socket Mobile’s device itself or using the iPhone’s camera.

Connected printers

The task was to connect printers available on PCs to portable data terminals. A separate desktop application has been created for this purpose. It supports Windows 7 to 10 and makes it easier to select and connect with printers.

Comprehensive statistics

The application helps to track every movement of inventory from the moment it arrives on a warehouse to the minute it ships. Managers and stakeholders can see gross sales for a day or selected period, a number of orders by status, channel, and warehouse location.

We’re very happy with Androswift. They seem to work in the way that we do, and we have a close collaboration with them. Every day we talk to the developers and outline what needs to be done.

We found Androswift had played the main role in helping with our customized web development, web applications and plugin customization. Having Androswift on onboard gave us the confidence to say yes to all jobs! Requested project edits were returned quickly.

I was at first worried about doing business with developers in another country as I am based in the UK, but I had spoken to a guy from Androswift called Kalpesh, who assured me that using Androswift for all my development work would not be a risk at all and they have proven me right.
