Aims
The shared objective of the project is to develop top-notch software for Royal Mail and the numerous eCommerce businesses that rely on StoreFeeder as their trusted solution. This has been an ongoing journey, with the software continuously in use and evolving significantly over the years.
When searching for a software development partner, StoreFeeder outlined their expectations:
- The ability to onboard skilled and passionate developers quickly.
- Willingness to adapt to changing requirements.
- Proactive attitude and a culture of feedback.
Happy Team turned out to be a perfect match. Our role goes beyond simply completing tasks – we actively strive to create the best possible software.
Our role
StoreFeeder and Happy Team have been collaborating closely on various aspects of the project, including:
Building a high-performing team of skilled developers who are passionate about their work and adaptable to changing requirements.
Software development that aligns with project objectives: transforming from monolithic to microservices architecture for enhanced scalability and flexibility, integrating multiple systems to streamline operations and improve efficiency, developing tailored-made software to address specific business needs and challenges.
Shaping project and team management processes to ensure efficient coordination and communication across multiple teams.
Implementing an agile mindset to foster flexibility and responsiveness in the project's approach.
Solution
The first successful deployment paved the way for a wide range of collaborative endeavours. Since the beginning of our partnership, Happy Team has actively participated in StoreFeeder’s software development efforts, including:
Warehouse and order management: a large-scale solution that offers seamless integrations with various sales platforms, couriers, and financial systems. While currently using a monolithic architecture,the software is undergoing migration to microservices, ensuring better scalability and future adaptability alongside other StoreFeeder projects.
Shipping management: a powerful software solution designed for demanding business users. It integrates with popular sales platforms such as Amazon and eBay, generates shipping labels, and consolidates shipment management for multiple courier companies.
Label printing: a backend service that significantly improves and accelerates warehouse operations. Upon scanning the barcode, shipping labels are immediately printed by a designated desktop client. The software is compatible with multiple machines and printers. It also integrates with the web application to automatically receive print orders and provide real-time feedback on the printing status.
Backoffice portal: a user-friendly support portal that provides an interface to manage integration tasks and control available functionalities. It empowers users to efficiently oversee and optimise their operations through a centralised platform.
