Client Goals & Expectations

The client wanted to have a unified web portal where they can manage all their master data from a centralized platform. Through this they wanted to automate most of their day to day tasks efficiently.

  • The client aimed to have a unified web portal that could automate various food ingredients-related activities, replacing the manual processes previously managed through spreadsheets and Microsoft SharePoint.
  • They were looking to automate processes such as managing master data, recipe data, material data, bill of substances, and more, to enhance efficiency and reduce manual effort.
  • Apart from this, they wanted to develop a centralized platform that could streamline their operations, making it easier to manage and access critical data and processes.
  • By automating various activities, the client aimed to enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and improve overall productivity.
  • The client needed a solution that could effectively manage master data, recipe data, material data, and the bill of substances, ensuring data accuracy and consistency.

Challenges Faced by Client

Manual Data Management

Manual Data Management

The client struggled with managing master data, recipes, materials, and the bill of substances manually, leading to inefficiencies and inaccuracies.

Lack of Automation

Lack of Automation

The absence of a dedicated application made it difficult for the client to automate food ingredients-related activities, resulting in increased manual effort and errors.

Scalability Issues

Scalability Issues

The manual approach was not scalable, making it challenging for the client to handle increased data and user loads as their business grew.

Limited Visibility

Limited Visibility

The absence of a centralized system limited the client's visibility into their operations, making it difficult to track and analyze data effectively.

Operational Inefficiencies

Operational Inefficiencies

The manual approach resulted in operational inefficiencies, such as delays in processing orders and managing inventory, impacting the client's ability to deliver high-quality products and services to their customers.

  • Waterfall Approach

    This is a traditional project management methodology where each phase of the project is completed before moving on to the next. We adopted this approach to ensure a structured and systematic development process.

  • Gathering and Analyzing Requirements

    We began by thoroughly understanding the client's needs and goals. This involved conducting interviews, workshops, and surveys to gather all necessary information. We then analyzed these requirements to determine the scope of the system.

  • Developing a Comprehensive, Unified, and User-Friendly Web Application

    Based on the gathered requirements, we designed and developed a web application that addressed all aspects of the client's needs. The application was comprehensive, covering everything from raw material management to material approval. It was also unified, meaning it provided a single platform for all related activities. 

  • Streamlining Processes

    The primary goal of the web application was to streamline the client's processes. By automating various activities and providing a centralized platform, we aimed to reduce manual effort, minimize errors, and improve overall efficiency.
