App stability and optimization The app experienced frequent call disconnects due to poor optimization and stability, making it unusable.
Code complexity Overly complicated components like WebSocket communication over HTTP and Elasticsearch as a secondary data source were causing unnecessary operational overhead.
Feature gaps Critical features like communication with third-party vendors (e.g., Purina) and a GroupCodes functionality for discounts were missing.
Outdated design The app required a visual overhaul to enhance its appearance and usability.
The solution
Improved stability
Simplified the code by decommissioning problematic software components, which resolved operational overhead and boosted app reliability.
Third-party vendor integration
To enable seamless integration with third-party vendors, the Web APIs were thoroughly studied and tested, data formats were standardized for compatibility, and a React-based Web UI was created to visualize the data prior to submission.
GroupCodes feature
Designed and implemented a workflow to integrate GroupCodes, enabling discounts to be applied during call payments.
Visual redesign
Modernized the app's interface to improve user experience and align it with current design standards.
Summary
Before
- The app experienced stability issues, including frequent call disconnects.
- Some features like communication with third-party vendors were absent.
- User interface design was outdated.
After
- App stability significantly improved by refactoring critical components and eliminating unnecessary operational overhead.
- Third-party vendor integrations were added, along with a React-based Web UI for data visualization.
