CHALLENGE
Migrate to the Cloud and Meet Customer Needs
As Blueport gained more customers, fulfilling custom feature requests from new clients became increasingly challenging.
Additionally, there was a need to shift the eCommerce platform from a single, complex system to the cloud for improved scalability, speed, and cost efficiency. However, due to limited in-house software engineering resources, Blueport faced constraints in making this shift.
SOLUTION
Successful Cloud Migration and New Features
Our dedicated team started by assessing Blueport’s software development processes and code quality. Upon identifying a significant technical debt, we engaged in detailed technical discussions to determine the most effective approach. One notable solution we suggested and successfully implemented, involved migrating to a new Angular architecture and adopting the frontend facades architectural pattern. This approach doubled Blueport’s development speed.
With our team’s assistance in revamping the development roadmap, we not only successfully identified but also implemented several key features that significantly enhanced the user experience. These solutions included:
Cloud Migration
We facilitated the migration of Blueport’s platform to the cloud, enhancing its scalability and performance.
Amazon Pay
We incorporated Amazon Pay into the platform to provide users with a convenient payment option.
Split Payment
This functionality allows users to divide a single purchase across multiple payment methods.
Store Locator
This feature helps users find the nearest store to their location and provides information about its operating hours.
Enhanced Product Detail Page
Users can effortlessly choose product characteristics such as color and design.
Mentoring Blueport’s Team
We led mentoring sessions in Angular and .NET, and created an onboarding process for new team members joining Blueport’s team.
Currently, our team handles regular maintenance tasks and assists in onboarding new clients for Blueport, freeing up their time to focus on their core business objectives.
