With the evolving business needs, retailers need an omnichannel solution to compete in today’s competitive market. Providing an omnichannel commerce operation can be a difficult undertaking. Our approach was to simplify the complexities of omnichannel, enabling the client’s end user to meet growing consumer demand anywhere, anytime, and on any device.

The Nth Bit Labs team tackled the problem and broke the system down to create an abstract interface between their legacy system and any future or existing system the client wanted to integrate. In order to create a unified view of the inventory across different channels and for the solution to work robustly within a multichannel sales environment, the team enabled loose coupling between the different services, and therefore, the retailer can make changes with practically no disturbance to the other parts of the system.

Another aspect of the tacking problem was to take care of the exchange of the data between the different platforms a retailer or brand is selling their product. Since every platform can have a different database schema, we ensured that the platform would pick the data in their preferred format. This was done by creating a normalisation layer between the applications that would allow easy exchange of data in the required format.
