Project Summary

Lucent Innovation developed a Shopify-integrated web application for a goods supplier to manage product listings, payments and order fulfillment. They led the project end-to-end—creating specs, daily prototypes and wireframes, and using AWS (including Amazon EC2) for deployment. The app went live in 2019 and gained nearly 2,000 users within a month with very few functionality complaints. The client praised the vendor's structured project management, quick communication and willingness to handle scope additions.

Project Solution

Lucent Innovation designed and built a web application based on agreed specs and iterative feedback. They produced daily prototypes and designs, collaborated on wireframes derived from an existing foundation, and used Amazon EC2 and other AWS services for deployment. The delivered app displays the company's product list, connects to merchants' Shopify stores, processes payments and forwards orders to the client's warehouse. The vendor also provided a single assigned representative as the main point of contact throughout the engagement.

Project Outcome

Nearly 2,000 users within a month
