Unifying Commerce Applications to Cut Shopping Time in Half

About our client

The client is a global payment technology company. Its work includes digital commerce and AI shopping experiences for convenience stores, concession stands, sports venues, and healthcare centers.

Challenge

The company had several minimum viable products supporting AI shopping experiences. It wanted to consolidate them into a unified platform that could scale and support continued commerce innovation.

The effort required rebuilding the codebase and underlying systems from the ground up. The new foundation needed to support fast development and quick deployment into production.

That technical work also had to translate into practical shopping experiences. The client wanted to bring concepts such as food lockers and cashierless checkout into real locations, making shopping more convenient for customers.

Solution

P4P by TPI worked with the client to architect and build a unified, scalable commerce platform. The team consolidated multiple minimum viable products and rebuilt the underlying codebase and systems to support rapid development and production deployment.

The platform supported a food locker experience for stadium concessions and cashierless checkout for convenience stores and concession stands. These applications brought the shared platform into customer-facing environments, including sports venues and healthcare centers.

Delivery combined a lead software developer and project manager, a senior full stack developer, and a senior UI/UX developer. The technology stack included Azure, Java, Python, Node.js, React, Vue.js, Raspberry Pi, SQL, Kubernetes, and Kafka.

Results

At sports installations using the platform, shopping times decreased by 50% and customer volume increased by 100%. The improvements supported higher revenue for venue operators and gave customers more time to enjoy the event.

The team developed a stadium food locker experience in six weeks. That delivery demonstrated how the engagement could turn a commerce concept into a functioning product within a short timeframe.

Building a shared platform gave these shopping concepts a foundation for delivery. We helped bring food lockers and cashierless checkout into real locations, connecting the development work to a faster, more convenient experience for customers.
