OCPH & ROH Retail Platforms: Revolutionizing Customer Transactions
The Challenge
The client, a major retail chain, aimed to modernize their customer transaction systems, OCPH and ROH Retail Platforms, to deliver seamless omni-channel experiences. They were hindered by a monolithic legacy system that was slow, inflexible, and unable to handle growing transaction volumes or provide real-time access to purchase history and loyalty rewards. The client needed a partner to transform their vision into a scalable, agile platform, moving from ideation to a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and ultimately to a stable system. We stepped in, delivering a cutting-edge solution through our offshore product development expertise, working closely with the client’s internal IT team to ensure seamless integration and sustained success.
Our Journey
We partnered with the client to bring OCPH and ROH Retail Platforms to life, guiding them from concept to MVP and then to a robust, production-ready system. Our offshore development team collaborated tightly with the client’s IT team to align with their retail business goals. Here’s how we made it happen:
- Vision to Reality: We worked remotely with the client to define core requirements, such as real-time transaction syncing, loyalty program integration, and omni-channel support, designing a microservices architecture with Spring Boot for agility.
- MVP Development: Our offshore team built an MVP with essential microservices for transaction processing and a MongoDB NoSQL database, enabling early validation of the omni-channel experience with web, mobile, and POS systems.
- Scaling to Excellence: We expanded the MVP into a stable system by enhancing microservices, implementing XAPI services for transaction synchronization, and optimizing MongoDB for scalability, ensuring resilience during peak retail periods.
- Key Features Delivered:
- Microservices Architecture: Migrated the client’s monolithic system to modular Spring Boot microservices, boosting system resilience and development agility.
