We have done a complete graphical and technological redesign of the app, with the objectives of :
We have set up a Framework new generation on BackEnd side to secure the app and improve its maintainability.
The use of Angular JS have been essential to efficiently develop an ergonomic and fluent web interface.
Data template redesign was necessary to anticipate the features evolutions.
ABC Salles had an unique app gathering :
We decided to break the monolithic approach (client space/ backoffice/ showcase site on a single brick) to divide its application in 3 new bricks.
The separation between front and back and the creation of an API allowed to centralize the information to ensure that each app questioned one and only service.
It enables also to adapt technologies used to every app depending on their needs and goals:
In the older website version, ABC Salles’s sales team could only update establishments or generate invoices.
Today, they have a wide backoffice which allows them to manage :
The use of ElasticSearch allows a fast search and an enriched information aggregation, without overloading the major database (MySQL).
RabbitMQ setting enables the differentiation of costly operations in times of treatment to reduce users wait : email sending, cache generation…
Today, when clients contact ABC, they are automatically redirected to their sales representative, who sees the client file open from their computer thanks to Socket IO technology.
ABC Salles website redesign was based on two needs : an easy to use search engine with a conversion process in simple and fast request, and complete establishments files, highlighting essential information.
The whole in a “mobile first” approach to encourage the use on smartphone which represents an even-higher website traffic percentage and a fuller user space and better organized.
The website redesign was organized around the work made during the last two years with the enrichment of ABC Salles’s API.
For the website redesign, we used Angular in its last version to keep a coherence with the connected space which has been entirely rebuild, in AugularJS.
