Catalog Management Software for Online Ranking Platform

Client

Our client was a well-known online ranking platform for heavy machinery, trucks, and farming equipment operating in the European market. It provides certification, review and marketing services. Its goal is to build trust between companies and people in the construction, transport, agricultural, and spare parts industries.

Brief

After the previous team of developers not only underperformed, but also created serious bottlenecks the client decided to reach out to Smart IT for software development rescue. Smart IT quickly put together a team of three people, a software engineer, who would take on most of the development, a project manager to manage the client-developer relationship, and Smart IT CTO for additional consultancy.

Challenges and Solutions

The client’s website was not operational due to a disconnect between the backend admin panel and the website frontend.

• New API integrations
• New admin panel

The website was meant to help users navigate a vast directory of products and companies. At the same time, the website admins would have to easily manage a large catalog of machinery and equipment. In an effort to make it more user-friendly and manageable for its operators, Smart IT worked on:

• UI improvements across entire platform
• Back-office improvements
