Project approach
Agile/ Kanban
Complex periodic planning and distribution processes streamlined thanks to the capabilities of Azure Cloud.
An internal web application for scheduling and distributing new sports cars between dealers in the U.S. and Canada shaped by .NET & Angular. Project Management, Business Analysis, Architecture Development, & QA at its finest. Explore the case of digitization and automation of processes that were once reliant on Excel.
Challenges
The client, one of the automotive giants, needed a new opening for an existing solution.
They had an Excel-based allocation application.
The application was using algorithms that would help distribute the delivery of cars to given areas fairly and understandably for dealers.
The client relied on Excel files supported by a large number of algorithms that did not fully back up the execution of the process.
Over time, the existing application had become difficult to maintain, leading to poor performance.
The whole process was based on an ad hoc solution rather than usability and streamlined execution of the business goal.

200+ dealers in the US & Canada using the solution
1 MVP + iterative product enhancements
Our Approach
Hicron Software House team evaluated the existing solution and proposed a brand-new system for collecting and analyzing algorithms.
We slimmed down the existing stack to only the algorithms used by clients and excluded data irrelevant to the process.
The most important data was migrated from the old system to the new cloud-based model. We hosted the new system in the cloud, Azure.
We developed a new user interface that’s both intuitive and user-friendly, aligning with the business objectives and user experience.
Outcomes
Our client benefits from a streamlinedand more performant application, which serves more than 200 dealers in the U.S., now planning to launch in Canada as well.
After the upgrade, the applicationbecameveryintuitive.
Moving from Excel files to a customsolutionmade the allocationprocessmoreaccurate.
The migration of the solution to the cloudgavegreatresponsiveness to the system.
Allocationisperformed on a monthlybasis. A 20-minute processnowhappens in seconds.
Intuitive UI hasmade the applicationmoreuser-friendly.
After carefully evaluating suppliers, we decided to try a new approach and start working with a near-shore software house. Cooperation with Hicron Software House was something different, and it turned out to be a great success that brought added value to our company.
With HICRON’s creative ideas and fresh perspective, we reached a new level of our core platform and achieved our business goals.
Many thanks for what you did so far; we are looking forward to more in future!
