Client

Formisur S.A.

Montevideo, Uruguay

Project Summary

eagerWorks developed a Ruby on Rails web application for Formisur S.A. to automate processing of large volumes of delivery orders and route preparation. The solution reduced processing time by 80%, cut required manpower to one-third, and integrated with the client's existing systems while delivering faster feedback from end users.

Key Challenges

Existing routing processes could not handle large order volumes, causing long-running processes and high computing costs
The team needed a more efficient algorithm to process large amounts of orders accurately
The resulting product had to integrate seamlessly with the existing ecosystem in a plug-and-play manner

Project Deliverables

Web application for automated order processing
Efficient routing/order-processing algorithm implementation
Upload, processing and results display UI for users
Plug-and-play integration with existing services

Project Solution

eagerWorks designed and implemented a Ruby on Rails web application that allowed users to upload orders, process them using a more efficient algorithm, and view results in a user-friendly interface. They focused on fast development, integration ('plug n' play') with existing services, and iterative delivery using a Kanban approach with weekly reviews. The vendor provided a project manager and three developers and collaborated closely with the client's IT manager acting as product owner.

Project Outcome

Processing times dropped by 80%
Required manpower reduced to about one-third of previous levels
Faster, immediate end-user feedback after deployment (visible within one campaign)
