Retail execution for HubSpot: Internal store audit application

Building a tailored application to optimize the audit process for store evaluations.

Industry:

Retail

Type of the project:

Internal application development

Retail chains often struggle with maintaining consistency and quality across multiple locations. Recognizing this challenge, Elixir Solutions turned to IvorySoft. In cooperation, we developed a custom internal application designed to simplify and streamline the audit process.

About the project

Retail execution for HubSpot is a product developed to assist merchandisers in managing product representation across partner stores. With this app, users can easily create planograms and carry out store audits without any hassle. The app works perfectly offline, so there’s no need to worry about losing connection. When the internet is back up, it syncs everything to the server, making sure all your data is up to date.

Scope of work

For this project, our task was to build a robust internal application from the ground up tailored to the unique needs of retail audits. The client provided the backend and design, while our team focused on developing the application to meet specific requirements.

Task 1

Develop an offline-capable app.

Task 2

Integrate a photo editing feature.

Task 3

Optimize the app architecture.

Technologies used:

React Native

Redux

Redux-Saga

Integrations:

Redux Persist

React Native Async Storage

Geolocation API

React-Native-Maps

React-Native-Photo-Manipulator

Offline functionality

We developed the app to operate fully offline, allowing users to conduct audits without relying on a stable internet connection. Data is synced with the server only when a connection is available, ensuring continuous functionality even in remote locations.

Interactive photo editing

To make the auditing process easier, we integrated a photo editing feature using React-Native-Photo-Manipulator. This allows users to capture images of store shelves and add interactive dots and comments directly on the photos, improving the accuracy of visual documentation.

Route planning and navigation

We’ve made it super easy for sales representatives to stay on track. Leveraging the Geolocation API and react-native-maps, we developed a feature that shows all the stores they need to visit today right on the app’s home screen. With just one tap, users can navigate to the right stop, making the day more efficient and hassle-free.

Optimized architecture

One of the key aspects of our work was designing an app architecture that minimizes server requests. We focused on reducing the number of data syncs, ensuring that the app operates efficiently while keeping network usage low.

Multiple app versions

During development, we created two versions of the app: the full-featured version for store audits and a simplified clone tailored for vehicle inspections. With this approach, we cater to different use cases while maintaining a unified codebase.

End point

Retail environments are constantly evolving, and so are the demands for effective store audits. With the Retail execution for HubSpot, we’ve built a flexible and easy-to-use solution, whether users are online or off. By focusing on what merchandisers really need, we’ve made sure this app keeps everything running smoothly, making store management a breeze.
