The Challenge

Our client uses an e-commerce site as a trading platform for their products. So it must be the first step in their customer experience. Only one registration or login is required on the e-commerce platform, which allows access to the application without any additional login steps. There must be a personal account with the data for this customer.

All of this information must be calculated and uploaded from various external services. One of the priorities is the highest level of protection. 

Implementation 

From the very beginning, there was a decision to use Zoho Creator its add-on Customers Portal. 
The Customer Portal enables the application to be configured for multiple users. It is possible to build it with different levels of permissions and data access. From the user's point of view, it looks like a personal cabinet. The Customer Portal can have a custom domain name, which was important for our client. There was also a requirement to set up different email notifications for customers. So Zoho Creators' email client was also very suitable for such purposes.
In addition, SAML is available for the Zoho Creator Tariff plan. On the other hand, Zoho Creator good for different external service integrations. Some of the specific calculations were handled using the server's Zoho Creator . Such an opportunity makes the usage of Zoho Creator flexible in this project.

Results

The final deliverable for our client was a fully developed system for the production stage. There were a few changes implemented during the testing stage in terms of the user interface. However, the functionality and customer's usage tests showed a high level of efficiency for our client's business. As of now, this system is used in production. Our company supports this system in some of the maintenance steps.
