Smart Store makes retail in the fashion industry mobile.

Smart Store is digitizing retail in the fashion industry with innovative and modern apps. The main app is including the cash register app that runs on every smartphone. We have been with Smart Store since the beginning, regardless of whether it was the Architecture choice for the apps, setup of the cloud environment with Google or even when building a team.

POC in three weeks

In the beginning there was the hypothesis: we can develop a cash register system as a WebApp because PWA is a technology is far enough. But we had to prove that first. We have a proof of concept within three weeks showed that the app can work with receipt printers and SIX payment terminals without any problems. Our WebApp that Smartphone me nothing, nothing to you transformed into a barcode scanner degenerated into almost a minor matter.

MVP after four months

In four months, together with the Smart Store team, we conjured up an MVP in a real boutique could be used. Purchases, returns, and discounts were easy. Layers open up and layers lock worked easily. But the checkout app wasn't everything. There was also a reusable design System for future apps. And a scalable Google Cloud setup on Kubernetes. In. four. Months! ๐Ÿš€

First customer after 9 months

The cash register app has been supplemented by additional functions. New apps have been developed, such as an app for the Goods processing or warehouse management. Everything nicely tailored to the respective user. After only nine Months the ecosystem was so far that new customers could be let loose on the system. And that without a wish happy.

How do you develop a modern cash register system?

With which technologies should a cash register and inventory management system be developed today? What technologies which opportunities and risks bring with them? Where should the code be hosted and how should deployments be automated will? With our experience we were able to choose an ideal and future-oriented Smart Store Support technology stacks. We substantiated everything that was uncertain with a proof of concept. the The investment amount is used in a targeted manner.

Mobile Android and iOS devices have modern browsers with Chrome and Safari. This is how the cash register system develop completely in the browser: the camera reads the barcode, the connected Six Payment Terminal takes over Payment, the cash register printer printing the receipt. And if the WLAN is not available, it works everything also completely offline. What was only possible with native iOS or Android apps until recently can now be done with implemented in the browser. The result: Developed faster and cheaper, and easier to maintain.
