Niuli Home, a prominent home interiors company, sought to create an online platform for selling custom modular kitchens, catering to customers across the GCC region. The platform needed to streamline the entire kitchen design and installation process, from initial consultations with designers to final installation within 45 days. Additionally, the solution required integration with their CRM, SAP, warehouse, inventory, and billing systems to ensure smooth and efficient operations across multiple user roles, including customers, designers, fitters, delivery teams, and administrators.
