The idea is to create a Procurement ERP website where users will be able to enquire about the products (Graphene) as per their requirement. In the platform, we will have Two types of users i.e. Users and the platform Admin.

  • User :- User can explore all the front-end pages and submit enquiry from a product detail page. They also do this from the contact page with the selection from multiple categories
  • Admin Panel :– The admin will be able to manage all the activities such as category management, product management, Enquiry management, static content management, Purchase requisitions, Purchase orders, Supplier management, Inventory management, Electronic invoicing, Reporting and analytics, Contract management& Direct emailing from the admin panel. Admin can also access the salesforce data.

  • A web-based admin panel integrated with salesforce CRM was developed to manage roles, users, suppliers, departments, Categories, products, enquiry, revenue, orders, Invoicing & billing, inventory and analytics etc.
  • It helps to get feedback from actual users in less time.

To build this complex, interactive solution where minute details needed to be emphasized, team Liangtuang followed a phase-wise approach. This development approach was expected to offer the following benefits:

  • It helps in the gradual adoption of the new system.
  • It helps to prioritize modules and functionality that will address the burning challenges and provide a quick turnaround time.
  • It helps to get feedback from actual users in less time.

Requirement Analysis and Documentation

project detail

To understand the pain points of the Nanotech team, L Tech team conducted F2F discussions at the multi-level. A team of business analysts interviewed the Nanotech team to understand how the system works for each level, what their challenges are, how they use salesforce data and what they expect from a new, improved system. Our business analytics and software architects outlined the optimal architecture of the platform, refined the functional requirements and developed a complete product vision and its development roadmap

The requirement gathering was followed by documentation of how the existing challenges can be resolved. This included creating flow charts for working at every level, a comparative analysis of how the system flow can be simplified, creating designs (UI/UX), and architecture for the solution. These designs were showcased to the Nanotech team for approval. Upon approval from the Client, a prototype (wireframes) was generated and again shared for approval.
