Development of a Integrated Desktop Application for Quoting, Order Management, and Logistics Coordination

The client faces difficulties in synchronizing their visual quoting application with their ERP platform to access real-time data on inventory, pricing, and project status. This disconnection hampers efficiency, causes manual data entry errors, and delays project workflows, ultimately impacting project timelines and profitability.

A midsize enterprise specializing in construction project planning, resource allocation, and material procurement, seeking streamlined data connectivity between design estimating tools and enterprise resource planning systems.

• Develop a robust plugin to connect the desktop visual quoting application with the ERP platform, enabling real-time data transfer.
• Create a unified system that consolidates quoting, ordering, shipping, delivering, dispatching, and invoicing processes to improve operational efficiency.
• Reduce manual data entry and synchronization errors by automating data exchange between systems.
• Improve project turnaround times and accuracy of cost estimation, leading to better profit margins.
• Enhance user experience with a seamless, integrated workflow solution to support ongoing business growth.

• Live data fetching from ERP system for inventory levels, pricing, and order status updates.
• Two-way synchronization of quotes, orders, and shipping details between desktop application and ERP platform.
• Automation of invoicing and dispatching processes within the integrated system.
• User interface components for viewing, editing, and submitting quotes and orders with real-time validation.
• Logging and reporting capabilities for data transfer activities and system health.

• ERP platform API for fetching and updating real-time operational data.
• Data exchange modules for synchronizing quotes, orders, shipments, and invoices.
• Authentication and security protocols for protected data access.

• System should support concurrent data synchronization for at least 50 users simultaneously.
• Data transfer latency should be under 2 seconds to ensure real-time responsiveness.
• System must comply with industry security standards to protect sensitive business data.
• High system availability with 99.9% uptime.

The implementation of this integrated application is expected to streamline quoting and order processes, reducing manual workload and errors, thereby decreasing project cycle times by approximately 20%. Enhanced data accuracy and real-time insights are projected to increase profitability margins and operational efficiency, supporting scalable growth.
