The Challenge
Back in 2015, Stockfiller was a young startup that had an ambitious plan to make sourcing in the food industry easier, smarter, and more sustainable by connecting the suppliers and B2B clients - the stores, retail chains, and restaurants via a single platform. The founders started their business with a technical solution that used a standard PrestaShop e-commerce store as the platform's foundation, but as the business grew, they quickly realized the platform could not handle the complexity of workflows, user rights, order structures, price lists, etc. With the ever-growing complexity of tasks, the system quickly needed to improve efficiency, while the partnership between Invertus and Stockfiller had already passed the 10-year milestone.
Cooperation between Stockfiller and Invertus started shortly after the launch of the service, by purchasing one of the plugins developed by Invertus, having a need to customise it. After the initial small-scale project, the Swedish startup contracted Invertus developers as dedicated resources for its project on a time-and-materials basis.
As the business developed, the client decided to create a bespoke, purpose-built microservices-based system, which significantly improved efficiency and scalability. A dedicated team of Invertus developers played a significant role in developing both Backend and Frontend applications for the platforms, later serving as an Extended team to take full ownership of the Frontend solution.
Key features
The platform handles complex system of user rights, and order management.
Stockfiller in cooperation with Frigoscandia developed a bespoke Leap Delivery system which ensures accurate delivery schedules, and minimizes the climate impact using the LTL deliveries across wide Frigoscandia network.
With Stockfiller Klipp, suppiers can conduct flash sales of products with shorter best before date, or overstock goods with a 30-70 % discounts.
The Result
Stockfiller currently has 6000+ professional buyers and 2000+ suppliers across Sweden including major retail chains, individual stores, restaurants.
The system directly contributes to efficiency of operations on both buyers and suppliers side by ensuring timely, predictable and strictly controlled delivery schedules.
With Stockfiller Klipp the platform reduces food waste, and tackle issues of possible overproduction or other type of surplus stock on the supplier side.
“Invertus was and still is the main contributor to our smooth scaling as a company. We started and maintain a close partnership because we liked the service and Invertus’s approach to additional requests. Our previous IT service provider wasn’t dedicated to development like Invertus was. As we bonded quickly, we also saw an opportunity to onboard Invertus developers as our own. We see so many benefits from the dedicated resources Invertus offers. To this day, Invertus shows commitment they know their strengths and can leverage them, which is excellent for a fast-paced company like ours. They care about our product, which is fundamental for us.”
