Client Overview
Located in Australia, the client needed to build an e-commerce portal to maximize its reach. Since 2010, the client has offered LED lights with classic and contemporary designs to augment the look and feel of any decor. As an e-commerce development partner, we chose open-source technologies - Odoo and Python - to design the digital commerce solution. With the e-commerce portal implemented, the client attracted many global customers and improved its bottom line.
Business Needs
The client had a successful physical store. Besides having a physical store, the client wanted to capitalize on the e-commerce segment and build its digital footprint. For this purpose, the client planned to launch a dedicated e-commerce store that will cater to the demands of the always-on generation. For implementing its migration strategy, the business had the following needs.

  • Building an intuitive e-commerce layout
  • Developing a personalized in-store shopping capability
  • Creating a fluid omnichannel e-commerce experience
  • Integrating with third-party payment gateways
  • Executing proven speed-to-market strategies
Strategy & Solution
For making sure that the client successfully met its business needs, it leveraged our development expertise. The team continuously worked toward improving the existing coding standards so that the e-commerce ecosystem's development gets as streamlined as possible.

Our team understood different scripts provided by the client before integrating them within the e-commerce portal's reporting module. The team improved the performance of the scripts. Besides improving the e-commerce platform's reporting module, the team fine-tuned the performance of other modules as well.

Front-end To make sure that the e-commerce platform is ultra-intuitive for its visitors, the team used different front-end technologies such as jQuery, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Ajax. By doing so, our team introduced the following improvements in the e-commerce portal.

  • Deployed transformative yet elegant e-commerce themes
  • Delivered seamless web performance including sign-ups
  • Created device-optimized design for tablets and desktops
  • Used JavaScript for implementing the product-zoom feature
  • Improved backend integration with Ajax

Backend The backend developers working on this project used Odoo and Python frameworks for creating a robust e-commerce ecosystem. The team developed a fast, robust e-commerce landscape by using different backend technologies. As a database, the team leveraged the robustness of PostgreSQL. Below are the backend highlights of the project.

  • Enabled fast data storage for managing different users
  • Integrated with a third-party payment gateway
  • Ensured complete transparency of digital transactions
  • Built robust inventory and shipping tracking modules
  • Reduced ecosystem downtime

Development Process We used an agile development methodology for developing the e-commerce portal. The development process was executed by a team of cross-functional teams that followed a collaborative approach. The following steps were followed for carrying out the development process.

  • Analyzed the e-commerce platform's objectives
  • Executed the information-gathering phase to finalize the technologies to be used
  • Designed and deployed prototypes while collaborating with designers
  • Implemented different front-end and backend processes
  • Handled compatibility issues and tested the ecosystem

Business Outcomes
Our developers worked along with the client's internal teams for making sure that e-commerce store's development is in line with customer expectations and requirements. The ecosystem went live as per the decided time frame, which helped us earn the client's trust.

The client was happy with the e-commerce portal's performance. Since the engagement was completed on a positive note, we stand a chance to work with the client in the future. Here are the benefits that the client reaped from this engagement.
