Challenge: The retail company relied on outdated inventory management methods that created errors and required employees to spend significant time managing data manually. It needed a more efficient way to manage inventory and bring information from multiple internal sources together.
Solution: Toptal developed a full-stack web application with a Python back-end that gave employees a streamlined interface for managing inventory instead of relying on the existing manual process. The team also integrated additional APIs, including a service that detected and corrected redundant data before it entered the application.
Impact: The new application replaced the company’s Excel-based inventory system with a web-based tool that made inventory easier to manage. By bringing data from services across the company’s technology ecosystem into the application and addressing duplicate information, the solution also reduced inventory errors.
