At a Glance

When it comes to complex web applications changing requirements of organizations, micro-frontend tools are the first choice that serve easier development and upgrading of applications. A split code that guarantees faster integration is more serviceable, offers simpler testing, and boosts the deployment process. Let’s explore the key strategies employed by Emtec Digital to help a leading third-party logistics provider achieve time and cost savings.

About the Customer

Our client is a leading third-party logistics services provider, largely relying on traditional web applications for business processing.

Business Need

With the world becoming increasingly digital, the client started facing technical challenges with a highly monolithic frontend architecture and was looking for a partner to solve their multiple challenges including:

Complex codes and system architecture

Poor scalability

Limited choice of technology

Difficulty achieving agile update cycles, testing, and maintenance

Time-consuming operations

Our Solution

Considering the current complexity and challenges, the architecture team at Emtec Digital evaluated various options. We proposed a micro frontend architecture-based design to break multiple applications into smaller micro apps specific to the business functionality and context.

Our team assumed end-to-end ownership of the development, testing, and deployment of each micro app, leading to enhanced flexibility in terms of technology and infrastructure used. As these apps were developed individually, the test and release cycles were reduced considerably, enabling faster feature deployment.
