Bringing an Early Education System to the US With a Specialized e-Commerce Web Application

BUSINESS BENEFITS
Our Client is a leading Japanese early education company who was eager to expand into the American market. They required an eCommerce Web Application capable of selling products as well as providing some additional functionality. In order to market and sell their products it was determined they needed an eCommerce platform with the following features:
- Online Order Processing
- Supplier and Product Management
- Inventory Management
- Customer Relationship Management
- Reports & Analytics
SMAC Apps’S SOLUTION
SMAC Apps developed a high level plan that organized the project workflow. A timeline was created that became a key component in this process as it was important to meet strict deadlines. SMAC Apps’s dual-shore development model reduced IT development costs by 30%. The end result is a fully functional eCommerce Web Portal that was delivered on-time and met all the Client’s requirements. The Web Portal was easy to use on both Web and Mobile platforms (Android, iPad & iPhone).
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
SMAC Apps provided an eCommerce platform that is automated and efficient, reducing labor costs and operating expenses. This end-to-end solution gave their customers the ability to place orders as well as interact in a much easier fashion. Because this solution also included inventory management it allowed the client to sell large volumes of its product without incurring service fees they would have paid using a 3rd party to deliver goods. This fully functional platform essentially afforded our client the opportunity to reinvent their business by providing the capability to break into the American market.
