Custom Online Ordering System

Project Description

Client Overview

Our client is a customer-focused, eco-friendly provider of high-quality consumable products in New Zealand. They cater to businesses and government sectors, supplying items such as paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, and washroom chemicals. Their goal was to enhance customer convenience by offering a modern online ordering system that eliminates long-term contracts and allows customers to order products as needed.

Problem Statement

The client identified inefficiencies in the traditional ordering process, including:

Dependence on manual order processing, leading to delays.
Lack of flexibility in contracts, restricting customer purchases.
Difficulty in managing customized orders and location-specific pricing.
Limited automation in tracking orders and managing inventory.

To address these challenges, they sought a scalable web application that provides an effortless and contract-free ordering experience while still offering customization options. Their vision was to enable a "pay as you go" and "order when you need" approach, ensuring businesses can purchase only what they require without long-term commitments.

Proposed Solution

Our development team worked closely with the client to design a feature-rich, user-friendly web platform that streamlines the order process. The system ensures that businesses can place orders with minimal human interaction while still allowing customization for individual needs.
