We have been working with Dance Planet since February 2019. The developed online store functioned well. However, the rapid path of modern technologies, changing trends, and new COVID and post-pandemic economic conditions gave an impetus to rethink the general concept of the store and start an overall system upgrade. Moreover, our client came up with new ideas, needs, and a strategic goal to scale to the European market.
He wanted to transform his online store to a full-fledged ERP system to manage all the items and control the selling process in one place. At the same time, we also have some proposals for further improvements. That’s how we found a common space for the creation of something great.

Challenge

To automatize the management of item-manager-client-delivery service interaction

Previously, each order was processed by many people through its lifecycle. Moreover, this process was complicated by a large number of interdependencies and the client’s business specifics. 

For example, some items are present in the warehouse and some of them need to be purchased for a specific order and it was challenging enough to divide and manage such items uninterruptedly. 

Solution:

We built a system that makes possible the automatic management of each stage of the order processing under the control of one person.
For example: if there is an order without payment, the system automatically prohibits its further implementation, marks that the item should be returned to the warehouse, and changes the order status. At the same time, the system sends a reminder about the required payment to the client. If the waiting period is over and the client doesn’t make the payment, such an order is closed.

Challenges

Combine user-friendly design and brand's aristocracy

The real challenge for us was to combine the unique customer’s requirements with a technical solution. Our clients had a detailed approach to each step in the project development, so we had to create a solution that would fully convey the essence of their idea.
Probably the most difficult thing was to express the aristocracy of the brand in design without violating the general rules of UX-building. Online stores should have been wide-functional, but the brand’s reputation, their charisma, was in the first place. We used only subtle, soft shades in design and avoided “basic” solutions.
Thanks to this, the design doesn’t distract the user from the product, focusing all their attention on the clothing line. In addition, our customers have been very careful when it came to visuals and photos; each shooting was different from another, and, of course, very different from the way of usual stores doing. Each collection is unique, has its own history and location, more so, its own identity.
From the very first minutes of working with Aristocrat Kids, we realized that this project and this business overall haven’t been “usual” not ever. It wasn’t just a store, it was a brand with its own character, and our main goal was to transfer this character to life through quality UX.

Project Workflow​

STAGE 1. Discovery

  • We studied client's requirements and the ways to fulfill them;
  • Searched for a quality solution to integrate and adapt new technologies in the system;
  • Created the terms of reference and work plan (first part);
  • Approved the work plan.

It was nice to work with people who know their target audience. Our clients carefully studied the TOR and SRS, and knew exactly what they wanted from the technical solution. That’s why UX, design, and development of the software were based on research of the latest market trends and target audience.

STAGE 2. Design & Prototyping

  • We created and approved the strategy of work on the project
  • Developed site pages prototypes;
  • Developed system requirements specifications (the second part) and work plan;
  • Approved SRS and work plan (the second part);
  • Started work on the site design.

We had plenty of options to present each clothing line individually but later we decided that we needed to unify everything. I felt responsible for my work, and I’m very happy that I was able to deliver what our customers were looking for!

STAGE 3. Development

  • We made a layout of the software product, created software architecture;
  • Distributed team resources to match the deadlines better
  • Tested the product;
  • Completed the work and presented the finished product to the customer;
  • Checked the finished product for compliance with all requirements and specifications.

Of course, it was the longest stage. The most important thing I would like to note is the team commitment and our understanding of the clients’ project. We created something unusual for its time, which continues to surprise and excite people who buy through Aristocrat Kids even today. For example, the solution on a non-standard, horizontal site menu, which was unique back in the days and remains interesting today. In general, both we and our customers are really satisfied with the final product and its quality.

STAGE 4. Evolution

This is a current stage of this project’s development. The changes we made on the evolution stage are rather small but still significant. For example, Stripe payment system integration that helped to make a software much quicker and better operating.

PM/BA

From the list of tasks that we had recently, perhaps the brightest thing was the integration of the current version of Stripe payment system. Upgrading the project with this much of a background is a very important task. The project uses PayumBundle, which processes payments on the software. The Stripe payment service that is integrated into it had to be updated. But PayumBundle supported Stripe integration up to version 4, and we had to implement v.7, so we eliminated all conflicts between components manually.

Results

Realized the easier way for the clients to navigate through pages and make purchases by ensuring that site works well, loads at a good speed, and has zero bugs.

With our software they have the opportunity to continually improve, evolve, and scale their business. We are always in touch, and ready to implement customer’s new requirements to allow their business to remain relevant in the market.
