Client Overview:
In Europe and Asia, the client is a renowned worldwide specialist company in the wholesale and food retail sectors. With over 750 wholesale locations in 24 countries, it is one of the largest retailers in the self-service wholesale trade.
The client needed help from an outside source to upgrade their supplier collaboration system, which would be built on microservices and micro-frontends.
The upgrade's goal was to create a unified user experience and a multi-functional supplier communication platform.
The goal of modernizing the Supplier Collaboration Portal is to:
User experience that is quick, responsive, intuitive, and rich.
Supplier details have been standardized, and data quality has improved.
Transparent, accountable communication based on workflows is required to strengthen collaboration between suppliers and retailers.
Architecture for a highly scalable solution.
Improve standardization and reduce time to market.
The client requested that the implementation partner is in charge of the collaboration platform's architecture, design, and development for this project.
