Web application to manage the purchases of retailers
Cal Fruitós, is a company with more than 30 own or franchised points of sale owned by the Fruitós family of Caldes de Montbui, dedicated for four generations to the retail sale of fruit, vegetables and food products.
Due to the rapid growth of recent years and the incorporation of the franchise system, it was necessary to find solutions for the different management tasks of the company, from the company's accounting and the management of the central warehouse and carriers, to the management by the stores in order to process their orders, incidents, consult invoices, obtain information about new products, and even statistics on sales and commercial margins.
What did we do?
During the years we have worked with Cal Fruitós, we have created different solutions for the different needs of the company. Working from different Calida teams in order to offer a response to different needs according to the client's requests. We have implemented an ERP for accounting and the central warehouse customizing all the part related to stores and franchises, as well as the management of orders and carriers. A web application has been created that allows stores to place their orders by consulting the real-time stock of the central warehouse, see information about the product and seasonal news, obtain quick statistics on the performance of the store, as well as manage invoices, incidents and other issues with the central warehouse.
Conclusion
**Data management** The connections between the different systems implemented, as well as the management of data securely, have been the main challenges of this project, so we have worked with platforms such as AWS and implemented security systems for data management. **Scalable technology** The ERP software and the web application have been developed with modern and scalable technologies in order to be able to adapt to the changes that the company may have in the future, using open source software to guarantee its continuity over time. **User experience** For the stores we have focused on usability and user experience since for the people destined to use the application it is not their main task. For this reason, we have worked together with the programmers with the users of the stores to understand their needs and we have created a design that allows them to perform their tasks easily, intuitively and quickly from a digital tablet or computer.
