About

The Client's 3PL software streamlines end-to-end ecommerce fulfillment, helping 3PL companies increase order processing, optimize resources, reduce shipment delays and errors, and deliver fast, accurate services.

challenge

The Client has 5 developments teams who continuously evolve different elements of their software. Faced with the lack of in-house expertise, the company decided to engage external resources. Particularly, they were looking for experienced .NET developers who will be available for long-term cooperation and can quickly switch between tasks. They found the required resources at VolgoTechnologies.

Solution

VolgoTechnologies developers made part of the Client team evolving a self-service portal. The portal is a web application that is used by the clients of 3PL providers – i.e. by ecommerce companies – to enable an automated transfer of their orders to 3PL warehouses.

Our developers joined in the midst of the project and at first were engaged in IT infrastructure-related tasks.

They set up an Azure-powered backup and disaster recovery solution for a quick on-demand failover in case of service disruption.

Results

The Client continuously evolves and refines their ecommerce fulfillment software. Each small success, like a possibility for 3PL providers to decrease an order picking process by 1 minute, adds to the competitiveness of the Client’s software on the market and ensures the loyalty of their long-standing clients. They find new opportunities to automate the processes of 3PL providers, and VolgoTechnologies helps bring those ideas to life.
