Our-Approach

Our Approach

  • Bigoh developed a native iOS & Android application & communicated directly with Shopify as a backend. 
  • With the help of plugins BigOh facilitated out setting up of multiple inventories under one shopify store. Utilizing the APIs provided by the plugin, Android and iOS were able to fetch the items SKUs from the respective inventory itself. With the help of these plugins, client was able to manage all SKUs & inventories at a single Store. 
  • For web, Bigoh tech manipulated the HTML that was getting rendered at the time of initial loading. This way products SKUs from the correct inventory got loaded. 
  • Orders were mapped to the correct inventory by adding a plugin on the admin panel. Facilitating delivery team, to deduct items from the correct inventory. 
  • Bigoh created a middleware which was communicating with Stripe for saving the card and payment deduction. Once the success token was received from stripe, middleware communicated with Shopify to mark the orders successful. 

Benefits

  • An app got deployed for all three platforms iOs, Android, and web keeping Shopify at the backend.  
  • Single Shopify backend was used for day-to-day operations resulting in reducing the daily operation time by ~40 % 
  • A centralized inventory management system was of great use since it helped to manage the inventory from a single source for all the sales channels 
  • All the orders were managed by a single source therefore backend dependency is reduced.  
  • Website management was reduced as only one Shopify website needs to be managed.
