Inventory Management for a Retail Bespoke Clothing Business
https://www.bombayshirts.com/A bespoke clothing business was struggling with inventory management.
Inventory was not unit-based like the typical ready-made eCommerce websites.
I implemented a new microservice that took care of the inventory. At any point in time, it used to show how many meters are available for sale, available in the factory, and how many shirts are yet to be produced, among other details in real-time.
