Project overview

Salmo is one of the largest manufacturers of fishing and tourism equipment in Europe. To cater to the needs of wholesalers, Salmo required a robust e-commerce platform that could handle large volumes of transactions and integrate seamlessly with their existing warehouse management system.

The main objective was to develop an e-shop that not only showcases Salmo’s extensive product range but also automates inventory updates and order processing. The e-commerce website was developed using Spree, a powerful open-source e-commerce framework built on Ruby on Rails, ensuring a flexible and scalable solution.

The development process focused on creating a seamless integration with the Finewin warehouse system and ensuring a user-friendly interface for wholesalers. Key steps included:

  • Design and Development: A clear and efficient design was created for easy navigation. The backend was developed using Spree and Ruby on Rails for a robust and scalable architecture.
  • Warehouse Integration: Real-time inventory updates were ensured through integration with Finewin, streamlining the process for customers and managers.
  • Automated Order Processing: Automated features reduced manual intervention, minimizing errors and improving efficiency.
  • Custom Admin Dashboard: A custom dashboard was created to give managers a comprehensive view of sales, inventory, and customer data.

Project results

Salmo’s e-commerce platform successfully met wholesaler needs with several positive outcomes:

  • Improved Inventory Management: Real-time inventory data reduced the risk of overselling or stockouts.
  • Streamlined Operations: Automation of order processing and inventory management reduced the administrative burden on managers.
  • Enhanced User Experience: Wholesalers benefited from a user-friendly interface that simplified product search and order placement.
  • Increased Sales Efficiency: Easier access to products for wholesalers contributed to increased sales and market reach.

The collaboration between IT House and Salmo resulted in a powerful e-commerce solution that meets current business requirements and supports future growth.
