Pain
Manual data collection, slow report generation, insufficient analytics.
Solution
Sales analytics portal to facilitate report generation and optimize workload of sales representatives and store managers in retail.
Challenge
In 2003, Emerline was contacted by a company working with distributors of drinks and beverages and was asked to create a platform and mobile application that would facilitate their work by allowing them to upload pictures directly into the system, so it would be easier to recognize where certain products are displayed, and in what quantities. But the development didn’t end there, because the customer wanted to extend the product’s capabilities with more possibilities for analytics, new modules, features, and UI elements. As for today, the sales analytics platform still sees constant enhancements and has already gained the status of the industry-leading application.

Approach
Backend development
Initially, the portal’s backend was developed with Python 2.7, Django 1.6, and MySQL database. Later, these technologies were replaced with more modern ones: Python 3.8, Django 3.0, and the PostgreSQL database. Other backend highlights included the use of Celery for scheduled jobs and task concurrency, and Websockets used for the updates of the progressbar.
Frontend development
The frontend of the application was initially based on a JavaScript library - Jquery, that was later replaced with ReactJS.
Integration Services
The portal was integrated with multiple data providers, including SAP (HTTP API), SFTP servers, and Rest API.
DevOps
In terms of DevOps, initially used EC2 machines were replaced with the following mixture: Kubernetes cluster + Gitlab CI/CD process + Grafana monitoring visualization.
Result
As a result of complex development, the delivered sales analytics platform features everything needed for efficient, convenient, and well-organized performance. The platform created by the Emerline team has gained the status of the industry-leading application, allowing the client to get a sharp competitive edge and stand out from other companies working with distributors of drinks and beverages. Furthermore, meeting the growing needs of the industry, the platform constantly develops and gets enriched with new innovative features.
