NOVICA
Project Overview
Novica World Market hired us to design, build and maintain a custom-built e-commerce platform from the ground up. Additionally, we were asked to create a secure web app to manage complex inventory, artisan and regional management systems.
Solution
We worked with the executives at Novica to design, from the ground up, a custom web app to sell artisan goods online. Existing off-the-shelf systems were not capable of supporting the company's management systems for inventory, artisans and regional managers. The project included executive requirements gathering, documenting corporate management systems, system and user information architecture, graphic design, systems design and application development.
