Development of a Customizable Multitenant Order Management System for Beverage Distributors

The client faces inefficiencies and high error rates due to manual order placement, tracking, and reporting processes among retailers and wholesalers, compounded by diverse workflows and legacy systems. Additionally, the inability to quickly customize and securely manage multiple installations hinders operational scalability and responsiveness.

A mid-sized wholesale beverage distribution company operating across multiple regions, aiming to modernize its order processing and integrate with retailers' existing workflows.

• Develop a scalable, multitenant order management platform enabling retailers to place, track, and manage orders efficiently.
• Create an admin panel for centralized management, including user roles, permissions, and system customizations with minimal technical expertise required.
• Implement a flexible API to synchronize data with existing databases and systems, supporting seamless integration.
• Enable quick deployment and customization per client, including theme, layout, and specific workflows.
• Reduce feature release cycle times through automation, enabling rapid updates and improvements.
• Enhance system security with role-based access controls and data partitioning.
• Improve operational efficiency, aiming to replicate the 3x reduction in feature release times and facilitate real-time order processing.

• Multitenancy architecture supporting multiple retailer installations with isolated data views.
• Admin panel enabling non-technical staff to manage users, roles, permissions, and custom UI configurations.
• One-click database instance creation and version management for rapid deployment.
• Configurable user interfaces allowing customization of layout, color schemes, and visibility without programming skills.
