We are very happy with the results of our new web application for the purpose of improving the quotation process! With this newly delivered web application we have vastly automated and optimized the quotation process, and are therefore able to handle requests with more efficiency and speed. We want to thank you, Mairen, not only for achieving the successful delivery of the application, but also for the expertise and professionality we have been experiencing on your part during our collaboration. #Automation #QuotationProcess #WebApplication

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐖𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨'𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 Over the past 4-6 months, I've had the privilege of taking on a project aimed at addressing a key operational challenge for Contecto, a developer and manufacturer of printed circuit board assemblies and associated (test) tooling in the Netherlands. The MVP has just been delivered and that provides us with a nice opportunity to evaluate and share. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲: Contecto’s team was experiencing a manual-intensive process for adding new products to their ERP system, leading to a lot of manual labor for their employees. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: We developed a web application, designed to streamline this process. This involved the integration of external APIs with Contecto's existing ERP system, powered by a custom integrated software solution. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: The image shows the technical structure and communication between the systems. The center of the application is a Django/Python backend and from there all API calls are controlled based on requests from the frontend. • Communication between the backend and the ERP system is done via a .NET framework middleware. • REST API's are used to send data throughout the entire software solution. • The frontend is a web application created in Nextjs (React based Javascript) to enable the user to interact with the system. • A custom Authentication system that is linked to the current auth of the ERP system • Different small tools/principles are used to optimize performance (Celery queueing, rate limiting, unit tests, etc..) 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁: The MVP shows the feasibility and value of the solution, and I will work closely with Contecto to streamline and optimize the tool and implement new features in the future. I would like to thank the Contecto team for the trust and support. Especially, Harm van Duijnhoven, Rik van der Linden & Piet van Duijnhoven for the structured feedback and support. For me the project has been an amazing learning experience. Especially by combining individual technologies I have worked with in the past, into a functioning integrated tool. #Innovation #TechIntegration #Manufacturing #ERPSystem #Python #Django #Nextjs #NETFramework #OperationalExcellence
