Accelerate Your Supply Chain and Logistics

The Solution

The product is a platform that unifies operational business data, labor, maintenance, and equipment data across all facilities. Its main function is to support data-driven decisions that will maximize the effectiveness of the logistics of a warehouse. Our main task was to ensure high product quality. The N-iX AQA team analyzed the code and wrote automated tests based on the results. We developed a custom framework and implemented a complex test infrastructure to deal with this functionality and created a reliable test set. We also created an advanced CI solution for running tests. Another product that the client invited us to work on is a Warehouse Execution System (WES) — a platform capable of managing all aspects of warehouse operations from receiving to shipping. Our specialists started code refactoring. The N-iX team is also responsible for testing various processes within the warehouse.

Value delivered by N-iX

Now, after a successful collaboration, we are improving the quality of the two products: the next generation of the asset performance management platform and the warehouse execution system. We have:

• Set up the test automation and code review processes;
• Built an extendable test automation framework;
• Significantly improved old automation infrastructure by refactoring the code, setting up new coding and testing standards within involved projects;
• Developed the solutions for testing ETL functionality, data streams, and time-series data.

Value delivered by N-iX

We created a multi platform mobile application with Computer Vision, OCR, and NLP for document processing. The solution allows the client to manage and track the goods in a non-touch way and has the following features:

• Pallet detection;
• Label recognition;
• Box counting;
• Damage detection;
• Fuzzy information matching.

Our teams have redeveloped the legacy platform, introduced cloud-native infrastructure and microservice architecture. We have also introduced and automated deep machine learning.

The Solution

The N-iX team built a cloud-based big data platform from scratch. The whole development process is designed to ensure that the client can easily change the cloud provider in the future. Our specialists created a proof of concept to choose the best data warehouse solution. Currently, our team prepares all of the processes for processing a large amount of data. We have automated the data extraction process. It allows the client to minimize data duplication by checking whether the ingesting files have or haven't been processed yet. After half of the year of working on data pipeline unification, we pulled more than 100 different data sources into one unified data platform. This includes daily data loads, along with a backfill of historical data. Currently, the biggest table we have has more than 4 TB of data.

Value delivered by N-iX

• Switching to the cloud allowed the client to save the cost;
• Created a platform that will store all the client data in one place;
• Fully automated the data extraction process from different sources.
