Project Overview

Whirlpool needed a centralized distributor portal to streamline stock checking, order placements, and delivery tracking. Before this platform, inventory was synchronized manually once a day, leading to stock mismatches and customer frustration. The new portal links directly to their warehouse ERP systems to show real-time stock levels.

Project Challenges

The main challenge was connecting to Whirlpool's legacy SAP ERP system while keeping app latency under 200ms. Additionally, we had to build an offline mode so field agents could access inventory details in remote retail stores without cell service.

Implemented Solutions

We built a middleware caching layer using Redis that indexes legacy SAP data dynamically. We also implemented a local SQLite sync database in the mobile app, allowing offline data persistence and automatic synchronization when connectivity is restored.

Development Approach

How we turned the initial blueprint concept into a fully scalable platform.
