Order Management System & white-label product
Hurr’s business comprises a clothing marketplace for final customers and a white-label product designed for a b2b model.
The clothing marketplace considers two models: pier to pier, which connects users lending and renting clothes simply and safely, and a second option, where Hurr collects the clothes and centralizes the rental logistics.
The white label product is a solution for companies to start renting their clothes. Hurr provides stores with a website ready to receive rentals and supports them with the logistics.
The process of managing orders, organizing products, and making deliveries was made through spreadsheets and a tough manual process. In order to make a product ready to scale, we were in charge of developing a separate platform for internal use.
Due to the project’s growth and the objective of continuing to scale with the white-label model, a centralized platform for internal usage was required. To that end, we developed the Order Management System (OMS).
The OMS development presented challenges we had to overcome in order to create an efficient product:
The Order Management System was built from scratch to centralize every order from the marketplace and white labels.
Considering all the challenges, we had to think of an innovative solution. We developed a gem we called bridge, with the objective of normalizing the way in which we obtain data from different sources as every platform had information organized in tables with different columns. The most efficient way to solve this obstacle was to create a configuration file on each platform which maps all the existing data differences and by making use of the bridge, expose it through a series on endpoints. All this exposed data was later consumed by OMS and paginated using a custom solution so we can use it in all the different features requested by the client.
With the OMS, we can now create, organize, edit, update, and delete information easily, efficiently, and, more importantly, in a scalable way.
Our team also focused on making the white-labels a scalable product that enables clothing companies to build a rental site in a short period of time.
Hurr has raised more than 4M in investment and intends to continue to grow. The business reaches a wide range of customers all over the world, tackling one of the most damaging industries: fashion. As Hurr focuses on high-end clothing and accessories, the scope of their impact is even more significant. Luxury items are often used for particular occasions, and helping them recirculate can change the fashion industry's environmental effects. In recent months, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, has chosen Hurr for such an important event as Earthshot Prize in Boston, conveying a strong message and broadening Hurr’s reach worldwide.
Our partnership started with a team of two full stack developers and transitioned to a team of 5 full stack developers plus a Quality Assurance tester. After only a few months after we started to work together, we were invited to lead the white-label product and develop a scalable solution to help them grow. Our team is now completely focused on the white labels and the Order Management System, in coordination with an outsourced team that is in charge of the marketplace.
Hurr aims to scale the white label model and continue to welcome more and more companies worldwide into a circular fashion logic.
