Solution

Team System Plus got itself acquainted with all the specified requirements and studied the nature of the application to figure out intricacies. The key challenge was to research the local and global requirements of a quotation and figure out the generic global requirements and specific local requirements to provide them as customization in the application.

After completing the user research process, the designers and the architects formulated the design and OR model to prototype the entire experience with original classes. It was a challenge to keep the entire experience generic and cover all the local and global requirements. But our research team had figured most of the logic out beforehand. The Team ensured the fully-functioning product by integrating all the research, design, prototypes and frameworks in one code-base.

Team System Plus ensured the accuracy and agility of the performance by automated and manual testing for the hundreds of use-cases. Unit and functional testing were carried out during the development process.

Team System Plus adopted the best-suited design patterns for the speedy development of the application utilizing the minimum amount of resources. The Team takes pride in this Software Solution for quote-management.
