Manufacturing
The Challenge
The client has multiple Windows applications for internal purposes such as for various categories of the furniture and fabrics. These applications are designed for offering customized products to the customers. The challenges faced by the client are:
- The applications are desktop based and cannot be accessed from anywhere, therefore creating a delay in attending to the requirements and customization of the products
- As these are multiple applications for various functions, there is no single platform to access all of them at one place. The employees have to login separately on all of them to fetch the details.
- Windows applications do not look appealing or user friendly.
- The client wanted only the authorized users to access the new web based applications
- The products were to be better categorized with the addition of Zebra printer that would print the tickets with barcode correctly and attach those with the products for identification.
