Challenge
Profile Developments aimed to enhance its OMS by refining the pricing model, improving database performance, and ensuring a smooth transition to the latest Rails version. The complexity of price calculations required a structured approach to eliminate inconsistencies and enhance accuracy. Maintaining system stability during the upgrade to Rails 8 was essential, as architectural shifts could introduce unforeseen disruptions. Additionally, improving documentation and outlining the sales-to-production workflow was a key priority to facilitate better collaboration between departments. Future expansion plans required an adaptable system capable of integrating with planned enhancements in the coming years.
Solution
Detailed specifications were developed to document and track critical system changes, improving maintainability and facilitating smoother updates. A modular service-based model was introduced to define and optimize factory and sales workflows, ensuring that processes were clearly structured and scalable. The pricing mechanism was simplified, ensuring a more transparent and manageable process. The transition to Rails 8 was carefully managed to prevent compatibility issues and system instability. Performance enhancements were applied to the MySQL database, improving efficiency in handling large-scale order data and customer interactions. Additionally, plans for future upgrades were incorporated into the system roadmap to ensure seamless scalability.
