Crafting a Comprehensive Platform for Rug Transactions and Maintenance with RugSimple"

RugSimple’s innovative platform redefines the market for rugs by offering an integrated solution that supports the sale, rental, and consignment of rugs with ease. Its design prioritizes intuitive navigation, making the buying and selling process seamless for all parties involved.

The platform stands out for its robust appraisal functionality, utilizing a comprehensive database and sophisticated algorithms to ensure accurate and reliable valuations of rugs. Beyond transactions, RugSimple distinguishes itself by offering maintenance and cleaning services, allowing for easy scheduling of pickups and deliveries.

This not only extends the lifespan of rugs but also cements RugSimple’s position as a comprehensive service provider in the rug industry. Furthermore, the inclusion of built-in accounting features simplifies financial management, offering transparent and efficient transaction tracking and invoicing.

This suite of services enhances the user experience, ensuring a smooth, reliable, and comprehensive journey for rug enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Upon taking on RugSimple’s project, a significant challenge presented itself in the form of extensive technical debt. To address this while incorporating new functionalities, we adopted the VueJS 2 print-run injection system, focusing on bridge components for efficient implementation.

SciCan COLTENE’s existing platform needed a facelift to keep up with industry demands. The goal was to diversify various user roles by introducing multiple access levels, optimize device management, and seamlessly integrate a direct sales platform.

1. VueJS 2 Print-Run Injection System: Leveraging the VueJS 2 print-run injection system based on bridge components, we ensured a smooth implementation of new functionalities, overcoming initial technical debt.
2. Hotglue for QuickBooks Integration: Despite platform limitations, we successfully integrated QuickBooks using Hotglue, prioritizing this feature due to client demand.
3. Google Cloud Services for Notifications: Opting for Google Cloud services for server notifications, we strategically chose a system that complemented RugSimple’s needs, especially in comparison to AWS.
4. Serverless Solution for Cloud Maintenance/Deployment: Balancing priorities, we chose a serverless option for testing cloud maintenance and deployment processes, ensuring efficiency and scalability.

Heading the project was an experienced Project Manager, overseeing seamless communication, on-time delivery, and alignment with RugSimple’s objectives.

Guiding the team through technical hurdles and decision-making was our Tech Lead, who played a key role in the successful integration of new technologies.

The project enlisted the expertise of two adept developers. They tackled specific challenges, including standardizing measurements and eliminating bugs, significantly contributing to the project’s success.
