Project Summary

Altkom Software & Consulting developed and tested a POS system and related fiscal solutions for a mid-size IT company (GEBIT solutions) serving the retail industry. Altkom participated from requirements specification through development, internal testing, code review and automated testing, then supported deployment to store chains and cash registers. Their work enabled the client to roll the solution out to additional countries faster; the team delivered on time and communicated regularly despite some staffing changes.

Key Challenges

  • Expand production capacity while minimizing the onboarding cost for new team members
  • Ensure new hires could become productive quickly on a large, complex project
  • Define and validate a technical approach (concept for using the Spring framework) before starting work

Project Deliverables

  • POS system implementation for cash registers
  • Automatic tests and internal testing
  • Code reviews and commits to the appropriate branch
  • Fiscal solutions for the POS enabling country roll-outs

Project Solution

Altkom joined the project at requirements specification and handled development, internal testing and code review. They prepared and implemented automated tests, committed approved code to the appropriate branches, and coordinated testing with the client's tester. After successful tests the solution was deployed to selected store chains and implemented on cash registers. The vendor staffed the engagement with three technical people and a project manager from Altkom.

Project Outcome

  • Enabled roll-out into additional countries in a shorter time frame
  • Delivered the project on schedule
  • Vendor became productive quickly in a complex, proprietary technical environment

Platforms

  • POSPOS

Tech Stack

  • SpringSpring
