Project Summary

Wishtree Technologies built a cloud-based Product Information Management (PIM) platform for a group of wholesale HVAC distributors, delivering an Angular web app and RESTful API hosted in Azure. The solution centralized product data import/export and enforced business rules for product attributes. The platform was delivered on time and on budget and has been well received by member companies; communication was managed via Slack, Google Workspace, Zoho, and Asana.
