/ About the client
Established in 1999, the client is a precious gem of the US diamond and jewelry industry. Over the years it transformed from a B2B company into an international diamond marketplace, alongside several other advancements. Well versed in digitization for the diamond business, it concentrated on making optimal use of digital advancement.
Brainvire custom-built a marketplace precisely for diamond vendors so they connect and obtain the best deals online.

/ The approach
Design, architecture, and features, shipped as one program.
Balanced the load
Cloud scale-ups spun up many servers and slowed the site, so load balancing distributes requests across online servers for high availability.
Made it real time
Timely updates were hard to get, so ERP integration delivered real-time inventory with tracking of stock, order status, and prices.
Tuned with Solr
Search missed product-type synonyms, so Solr added relevancy, boosting, and faceted navigation to narrow results by price and brand.
Automated the MIS
Precise MIS reports and bulk uploads were a struggle, so auto-generated, consolidated reports now export and share across every department.
/ What stood in the way
Four problems, solved without a maintenance window.
Select a challenge to see how it shaped the build.
Uncoordinated incoming traffic
As the cloud scaled up it spun up multiple virtual servers and application instances, and the servers could not receive incoming traffic in a coordinated way, which slowed the process. Load balancing distributed requests across online servers for reliability.
Slow, untimely inventory updates
The company found it hard to obtain timely updates, which slowed the inventory process. ERP integration delivered real-time inventory so the team tracks stock, order status, and prices as they change.
Search that missed synonyms
Search implementations could not return relevant results for product-type synonyms, and visitors could not narrow results by other factors. Solr solved this with relevancy, promotion, boosting, and faceted navigation.
Precise MIS reports and bulk upload
The firm's biggest challenge was obtaining precise reports for MIS purposes, and bulk data upload was difficult. Tailor-made MIS reports are now auto-generated, exported, and shared across every department.
