Management

Challenges of the customer

Reorders on construction sites were placed with our customer via various manual channels such as telephone, email, WhatsApp or Yammer. This led to high personnel costs for processing, issuing and delivery status information and ultimately to delays in construction.

Material issues and delivery status were not documented centrally, and status data could not be evaluated. Manual transfer to accounting systems was time-consuming and prone to errors. A digital solution was needed to improve communication, tracking and efficiency – simple, scalable and intuitive for warehouse staff to use.

Our approach

Requirements analysis & app roadmap

The first step was a comprehensive analysis of the existing warehouse processes - with a focus on data availability, quality, user groups and target metrics. In close collaboration with the customer, this resulted in a clear app vision and a concrete roadmap for the first MVP version.

Development of the inventory app & system infrastructure

The app was developed cross-platform for iOS and desktop and, in parallel, the technical infrastructure was set up and a lean release and deployment process defined. The backend is based on Flask/Python and the data storage on Microsoft SQL Server.

Quick data migration & system integration

In close coordination with the line organization, all relevant basic data from the PDM and ERP systems was provided and prepared for the app. This ensures a continuous flow of data right through to invoicing.

Prototyping & quality assurance

A functional prototype was used by key users at an early stage. Their feedback flowed directly into further development. At the same time, a QA structure for continuous testing was established.

Training & rollout

Before the MVP was rolled out, warehouse staff received targeted training focusing on user-friendliness and fast, intuitive operation. Following the successful launch, the app was made available to all relevant user groups.

Agile further development after going live

Since then, the app has been continuously and iteratively developed along defined epics - including functional expansion, data management, usability, compliance, scalability and support processes.
