The client firm, a wholesale distribution software consulting company based in LA, California, has provided complete business solutions to its customers using an ERP solution (based on the Progress 9.1D database). Their sales/purchase reporting, accounting, and inventory reporting application was too small and required redesign to make it easier and faster to respond to financial data from multiple companies in a group, with better visual reporting and reporting capabilities to cater usability requirements of the potential customers.
ValueCoders took this challenge and designed a robust, modular, scalable, and configurable software, a desktop application, to meet the end user or customer needs.
When they hired ValueCoders, we had to address to the following tasks:
While developing, we faced various challenges including the following ones:
Our developers at ValueCoders had overcome these challenges with their innovative ideas and technical expertise
The existing application restricted the data view for a single company and an individual account. An inquiry function was required to access sales, finance, accounting, cash and other relevant details for multiple companies and all cash accounts based on daily, weekly, quarterly, month to date, year to date, one year ago. So, there was a need to develop an efficient solution in order to meet the client’s requirements. As a result, a .NET desktop application with new query screens, which show data for all cash, sales, purchases and inventory values along with the accounting screen is developed.
The application allowed to see and manage up to 9 years of data, and each module offers views of data from previous and current years, which facilitates the comparative analysis. It provides well-defined visual aids, such as bar charts and calibration graphs, simpler data structuring, data export to Excel, scheduled reports. It comes with following features:
This application first set up connectivity with Progress to first collect data to a SQL server database and thus help in easily modifying & displaying details on Dashboard system in close to real-time response time, keeping the offset within an acceptable range.
The expert team at ValueCoders developed a .NET desktop application with new inquiry screens, showing data for sales, cash accounts, inventory values, and purchases along with the accounting screen. The application facilitates comparative analysis and allows viewing and managing of up to 9 years of data where each module offers views of both currents as well as previous year data. Moreover, it provides full visual aids like bar charts, simple data structuring, gauge graphs, and auto-scheduling of reports on a daily basis. The application provides following user-friendly features:
ValueCoders successfully executed the Wholesale Distribution Reporting System well within the time frame. The client achieved its target of making a user-friendly Wholesale Distribution Reporting System and adding custom functions too. In fact, they showed a great interest in extending more work with us.
It was a learning experience for ValueCoders to work on this development project that has helped the client and brought in repeat business as well. We ensured that the client and the development team were on the same page by frequent collaboration and regularly making use of project reporting tools. Agile methodologies were used throughout the time to discuss, improve and implement solutions before the final delivery of the application.
