About a Project

RetailOps is a versatile SaaS platform offering a suite of tools for retail companies. They include Warehouse Management, Inventory Management, Receiving, and others.

Project idea

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

Project challenges

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

Results

  1. 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 all the preparations, our team started working on the project.

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.

Early access

Users can buy early access to the tab. It lets them get a notification half an hour earlier than other customers. It’s possible to get early access for free if a customer invites five friends to use El Tab.

Comprehensive statistics

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