Background
A leading North American food distributor aimed to modernize its web-based ordering system and seamlessly integrate it with their mobile delivery tracking application.
Challenge
The core challenge was to bring the robust functionality of their "steel thread" system—real-time inventory visibility, dynamic contract pricing, inventory constraints, and diverse payment options—to a user-friendly mobile experience. This required navigating complex business rules, integrating with legacy systems, and ensuring a high-performing, reliable application.
The Solution
We partnered with the distributor to develop a cutting-edge mobile e-commerce marketplace, seamlessly integrating it with their "steel thread" backend.
Backend for Frontend (BFF) Architecture: A BFF layer was implemented to
mediate between the mobile app and existing backend services.
GraphQL Optimization: Implemented GraphQL to streamline API calls and
significantly improve both performance and user experience.
