Project Summary

Bacancy is developing a Magento-integrated ERP system for an online furniture e-commerce company, handling backend work via a Ruby on Rails developer who collaborates with the client's in-house developer. The ERP combines a CMS with inventory and order management and plans financial and accounting modules. The client reports the system is about 80% complete, praises the developer's technical skills and the affordability of the vendor's services, and manages work via Trello with daily meetings.

Key Challenges

Build an internal ERP platform instead of licensing an ERP vendor
Integrate the ERP with the existing Magento e-commerce backend
Develop inventory, order management, and financial/accounting modules

Project Deliverables

Magento-integrated ERP system
CMS with inventory and order management
Backend development (Ruby on Rails)

Project Solution

Bacancy provided a Ruby on Rails developer (and a project manager for escalations) after initial calls and a simple onboarding. The assigned developer worked alongside the client's in-house developer to build the ERP backend, integrating a CMS with inventory and order management into the client's Magento e-commerce platform and planning financial/accounting components. Project management is kept simple via Trello, with regular brief meetings and use of Teams/Slack for communication.

Project Outcome

ERP system is approximately 80% complete
Developer provided is competent and effectively fixes bugs
Project management is simple and coordinated via Trello and daily meetings
Services are affordable and the vendor is accommodating, including work outside normal hours
