Unified Mobile and Web Application for Warehouse Operations with CI/CD Integration

The client faces difficulties managing disparate systems with inconsistent data, limited real-time communication, and high maintenance costs. Their existing application infrastructure is fragmented, resulting in slow data input, errors during inventory processing, and challenges in integrating new features or scaling operations. Additionally, transitioning to cloud platforms is hindered by outdated systems and performance issues, impacting overall operational efficiency.

A mid-sized logistics company seeking to enhance warehouse management efficiency with a unified application supporting mobile scanning and web-based operations.

• Develop a single-source codebase supporting both mobile and web platforms to ensure consistency and streamline maintenance.
• Implement automated CI/CD pipelines compatible with cloud services to accelerate deployment and updates.
• Create a browser-based application integrated with barcode scanning hardware to facilitate quick data input and retrieval.
• Enable real-time data synchronization between scanning devices and the central system.
• Facilitate export of warehouse receipts and integration with printing hardware for label printing.
• Implement cycle count, transfer workflows, and API connectivity to existing systems to optimize inventory management.
• Transition infrastructure to a cloud platform, preferably Oracle Cloud, to reduce costs and improve scalability.
• Ensure system performance, security, and ease of use to support warehouse staff productivity.

• A unified codebase supporting both mobile devices and web browsers for consistent user experience.
• QR code scanning capability with auto-import and task automation upon scan completion.
• Integration with barcode scanners and scan guns for seamless data capture.
• Automatic progression through workflow steps after each scan to optimize worker productivity.
• Ability to export warehouse receipts and connect to printers for label printing.
• Support for cycle counting, inventory transfers, and stock management workflows.
• Extensive API utilization for system integration and data exchange.
• Role-based user access for warehouse staff, managers, and support personnel.
• Dashboard featuring real-time analytics and operational status updates.

• Barcode scanners and scan guns for inventory data capture
• Printer systems for barcode label printing
• Existing warehouse management APIs for inventory data exchange
• Cloud services for deployment and scalability (preferably Oracle Cloud)

• System scalability to support growth in transaction volume and user base
• High responsiveness with minimal latency in data synchronization
• Security measures ensuring data privacy and secure user access
• Availability: 99.9% uptime for critical warehouse operations
• Maintainability through clean architecture and comprehensive documentation

Implementation of a unified, cloud-enabled warehouse management system is expected to significantly reduce operational errors, lower maintenance costs, and improve data accuracy through real-time updates. The transition to a single codebase and automated deployment pipelines will accelerate feature rollout and system updates. These improvements aim to boost overall warehouse efficiency, increase staff productivity, and reduce infrastructure costs, ultimately supporting scalable growth and enhanced customer satisfaction.
