Project Summary

Kellton (formerly Tivix) developed a web-enabled barcode ordering and installation platform for a defense contracting partner, using Python, Django, and React. The solution integrates with the client's ERP to generate tags, manage orders, and enable client installation of barcodes. After the initial delivery the engagement moved to a retainer model for bug fixes and incremental enhancements, and the client reported high-quality delivery and new client wins after launch.

Key Challenges

Replace an internal Excel/SQL workflow with a web-enabled, customer-facing solution
Make the internal process accessible to customers and integrate with existing systems
Address lack of internal resources to manage and develop the solution

Project Deliverables

Consumer-facing web platform for barcode requests and installation
ERP integration for order fulfillment and tag generation
Frontend built with React and backend with Python/Django
Ongoing retainer support for bug fixes and smaller feature additions

Project Solution

Kellton built a web platform that allows clients to request and order barcode tags, communicate location and production requirements, and install barcodes. The platform communicates with the client’s ERP to generate tags, drive fulfillment, and enable installation workflows. After initial development (with a product manager, architect, and developers), the engagement shifted to a monthly retainer focused on bug fixes and smaller feature additions.

Project Outcome

Achieved a successful launch that led to new client wins
Maintained high quality of deliverables and strong client satisfaction
Sustained collaboration despite resource turnover with smooth transitions
Continued support under a monthly retainer with regular meetings
