The Challenge
The Underwear Expert wanted to create a subscription model business in the form of a custom men’s underwear of the month club. The challenge was to automate the process of ordering and managing stock, processing payments and developing tools to manage the business.

Nopio team created a custom-built solution using Ruby on Rails, ElasticSearch, Postgres, and MongoDB to:
Sync inventory between the e-commerce platform and multiple warehouses
Manage and optimize the inventory
Perform advanced subscription processing
View the state of the business via custom reporting and analytics suite
Track company financials in a custom accounting solution
The system has been designed in such a way that most of the common tasks are performed automatically. Additionally, we provided a design support to create a great and eye-pleasing User Experience.
