Project Summary

TechMagic developed a product-management microservice (backend and frontend) for a martech SaaS business, including low-fidelity wireframes and multiple frontend applications. The project delivered scalable features such as product CRUD and CSV-based product feed synchronization and improved the system's flexibility. The client highlighted the team's proactivity and the adoption of two-week sprints to improve delivery.

Key Challenges

Replace an outdated microservice with a more modern, scalable and maintainable solution
Ensure flexibility and perfect integration with existing infrastructure
Clarify incomplete requirements through discovery, planning, implementation and testing

Project Deliverables

Low-fidelity wireframes
Backend microservice for product management (Node.js)
Frontend applications (React) including a second frontend with shared components
Product CRUD and CSV product feed synchronization features
Handover to a team including frontend, backend and QA engineers

Project Solution

The vendor ran a discovery workshop, produced low-fidelity wireframes, and had a full-stack developer build the initial backend and frontend components. They later added a second frontend with shared components and transitioned the work to a handover team (frontend engineer, backend engineer, QA). Development followed two-week sprints with frequent releases, delivering product CRUD, product feed import/synchronization (CSV), and scalability for large product sets.

Project Outcome

Improved system flexibility, enabling existing and new customers to address new use cases
Adoption of two-week sprints improved delivery cadence and communication
