For a company in the food wholesale trade an application for the digitisation of the processing of inquiries and tenders is developed. The aim of this project is to develop an application that significantly accelerates the processing time of inquiries and tenders.
Supplement
The application to be developed consists of a front end and a back end. In the web-based frontend, requests or tenders for food assortments are read in and forwarded to the backend via a REST-ful interface. Using search mechanisms (normalization, tokenizing) in the article database, suitable articles from the assortment are identified in the backend for each requested article. The article database is a NoSQL database, MongoDB, in which the data is stored in JSON format. JavaScript frameworks (React, Redux, Bootstrap) are used to create the frontend, and the backend is based on Java and Spring (Boot). The development is agile according to Scrum. The PTA provides the complete Scrum team. Our IST-QB certified test managers ensure the quality of the application on the one hand and verify the quality of the search on the other hand and make it assessable using metrics.
Subject description
The processing of customer enquiries and tenders is one of our customer's core business processes. In order to meet the increased demands of the market in terms of response time to inquiries, it replaces the current manual processing. Through the automated reading of requests and tenders into the application and further digital processing, the processing time per request or tender is significantly reduced. The time saved is used by our customer for a more intensive quality assurance of his offers and to participate in more tenders. A further advantage is that the clerks are relieved of monotonous activities.
