Project Summary

A paper and media distributor engaged Netsmartz LLC to develop a one-point integration that connects gallery software and e-commerce companies to a network of photography labs across target markets. The engagement included feasibility architecture, business analysis, Scrum-based incremental development, testing, MVP delivery, and hosting/operation of the software's APIs and Azure cloud system.

Key Challenges

Need to provide an easier way for companies to form partnerships with photography solution providers and labs
Create a seamless consumer experience for ordering, developing, and publishing photos across North American and Australian markets

Project Deliverables

One-point integration for gallery software and e-commerce platforms
Feasibility architecture and business-analysis artifacts (high-level user stories)
Scrum-based incremental development and MVP delivery
Hosting and operation of APIs and Azure cloud system

Project Solution

Netsmartz created a one-point integration enabling gallery software and e-commerce platforms to connect to a network of photography labs. The engagement followed five phases—feasibility architecture, business analysis (user stories), Scrum-based incremental development, testing, and an MVP delivery—and included hosting and operating the APIs and the solution on Microsoft Azure. The vendor provided scalable Scrum resources and added features over time based on early-adopter feedback.

Project Outcome

High client satisfaction driven by vendor ownership and strong communication
Flexible, scalable resourcing model allowing the client to scale involvement up or down and rent a Scrum team
