Northern Sales : Helping to distribute products around Alaska & Washington
Northern Sales : Helping to distribute products around Alaska & Washington
The Project
Lance is the owner of a wholesale food distribution company in Alaska, employing over 200 people. He had been using a particular software application for 20 years to manage the business and its operations. In 2018 he was informed this software was now end of life, and offered the option of moving to a new, much more expensive system. His attempts to do so ended in failure as the system built over 20 years was rich, complex, and highly customized. Replicating it in the new system was going to be slow, difficult and very very expensive. Lance looked for an alternative solution.
Where LiveCode Comes In
Lance knew what he was looking for. With his longstanding interest in programming, he wanted a platform that he could develop his own enterprise software solution in. This solution would be exactly what he wanted and he would know every part of it. At this point, Lance called up Services by LiveCode and entered into discussions to partner on this project.
After discussing the project in depth it was agreed this was an ideal opportunity to work together to create a new system. Lance would be involved at every stage, and LiveCode chose a highly experienced developer, Monte Goulding to lead the project. After a couple of months the team was also joined by a database specialist on the LiveCode side, Michael McCreary.
The Outcome
After 15 months of joint work, the new Ninja ERP has now started to take over the functions from the old system, with a lot of the core data merged. Vendor orders can be entered and items tracked in warehouses and for vendors. A good share of core data is now retrieved from the new system. Lance has been able to actively progress his LiveCode skills and produce a number of subsidiary modules himself. Considering the size, complexity and age of the system it is replacing, this is great progress. The partnership continues to thrive to this day.
