Project Summary

Invata Intralogistics hired Sciant to develop a Manifesting WebAPI for its automated fulfilment solution. Sciant delivered a RESTful WebAPI using Microsoft SQL Server and Entity Framework Core, added separate DB schema(s), and implemented deployable WebApi projects and carrier-specific configurations. The client praised the team's communication and project management and noted the project was completed on time despite changing requirements.

Key Challenges

Develop a Manifesting service for the automated fulfilment solution

Project Deliverables

Manifesting WebAPI (RESTful) providing packaging and manifesting endpoints
MS SQL database schema additions separated into new schema(s)
Entity Framework Core (DB-first) scaffolded context and POCO mappings
Deployable WebApi projects packaged as DLLs for the existing solution
Carrier-specific autonomous configurations and data stores

Project Solution

Sciant validated industry experience and technical aptitude before engagement and then developed the Invata Manifesting WebAPI. They implemented a RESTful WebAPI application backed by Microsoft SQL Server and Entity Framework Core (DB-first approach) with manual POCO mapping. The architecture integrated with the existing Invata.WebApi project and nuGet packages, with DB tables added in separate schema(s). Sciant ensured the new WebApi and supporting projects were buildable and deployable as DLLs and introduced multiple independent carrier configurations and data stores to support autonomous carrier behavior.

Project Outcome

Project completed on time despite shifting requirements
Obligations were successfully fulfilled, leading to project completion
Outstanding project management with regular meetings and Microsoft Teams communication
