Project Akrichin - marketplace for pharma

Project Objective:

• The manufacturer wants to get data "from the field" bypassing pharma distributors (sales, demand, claims, etc.);
• to be able to work directly with the end consumer, and thereby increase the margin of each individual sale.

Project problems:

• the original terms of reference were prepared by a non-professional IT analyst. The terms of reference was rewritten for subsequent submission to the development department;
• an urgent need for a working system. The customer ran test users long before the release;
• the integration with distributors was done "live" without studying the FTP manual due to its absence;

• The system was built in two parts. The client part was written according to the ToR. The user part was deployed on the Python Django framework;
• Integration with two major distributors of the customer and the manufacturer's internal systems;
• Implemented a unique functionality of loyalty programs (bonuses, promotions).

 Technology stack, engine:

python/django, postgres.

Project timeline, labor costs:

• labor costs 36 man-months;
• budget 10+ million rubles.
