Modernising a 2008 sales order system for a UK food wholesaler
UK food wholesale and delivery business (name withheld)
The business’s sales representatives take customer orders through a Windows application first built in 2008 with Windows Forms and WPF, alongside a second version for takeaway orders. Both still did the job, but the technology underneath was dated and hard to install, update and support.
Built with Windows Forms and WPF, converted to UWP; distributed through the Microsoft Store
See what we did
- Moved both applications from Windows Forms and WPF to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), at the client’s request
- Kept the features the sales team relies on: instant product, customer and price lookups, taking and editing orders, and reusing earlier orders as templates
- Kept order emailing and CSV export, customer invoice statements and outstanding balances
- Kept the settings staff use to arrange the basket and lists their own way, so nobody had to relearn their daily tools
- Published both apps through the Microsoft Store, so installs and updates are handled automatically; further improvements are ongoing
