Stages of management system development
The development of a CRM system for a business for the purchase and delivery of cars from America and Europe consists of several stages, each of which is key to the effective functioning of the system.
1. Analysis of business processes and requirements
At this stage, the goals of the program development are determined, the company's workflows are studied (how the car is purchased, delivered, customs cleared) and a list of necessary functions and integrations is formed.
2. Creation of technical specifications
Based on the analysis, a detailed technical specification is drawn up, which contains the functionality of the program, a list of integrations and security requirements. It is important to take into account what roles will be in the system (administrators, managers, logisticians, financiers), what data will be stored in it and what modules are needed (procurement management, logistics, financial accounting). With a detailed technical specification, you can create an estimate and plan deadlines.
3. Design and prototyping
The design begins with building the architecture of the program for car delivery from the USA, namely, with the development of a modular structure that allows you to easily scale the system and make changes without disrupting the operation of the entire platform. Next, interactive interface prototypes are created using Moqups, Figma or Adobe XD. This allows you to test navigation, layout of elements and overall UX design even before the start of development. The customer can see what the main screens will look like, interact with them, and suggest adjustments. Also, at this stage, a technological stack is formed for the implementation of the project.
4. UI/UX design development
CRM for cars from the USA should be not only functional, but also easy to use. It is important to make an intuitive interface so that employees quickly master the system. To do this, you need to provide a simple and understandable UI/UX, colored status indicators (for example, green – a car on the road, red – problems with customs clearance), a convenient panel for managers and logisticians, etc. Every detail of the CRM interface should match the visual style of your company: colors, fonts, icons. Adaptation of the interface to various devices must be provided: computers, tablets, smartphones.
5. Programming
This is the main stage at which developers use program code to implement the frontend and backend parts of the project and set up integrations in accordance with the terms of reference and design layouts.
6. Testing and Bug Fixing
At this stage, the management system for buying a car from an auction undergoes a comprehensive check for errors, performance and safety. Testers conduct functional, integration, and load testing to make sure that all modules work correctly and the system is stable even under high load.
7. Release and implementation
This is the final stage when the CRM for a company for the delivery and sale of cars from the United States is deployed on a server or in the cloud space and becomes available for use.
