Challenge

Every day, hundreds of people in each location handle Tupperware’s internal software. However, given the age of the software, and the growth of the company, some features could no longer keep up with the current demands.

First off, search screens weren’t refined enough to enable the user to filter products by different criteria, which in turn slowed down the workflow, as it was necessary to manually check each product page and apply filters individually.
A second problem was product management. Products are constantly being added, deprecated, or updated, making manual processes like product classification very time consuming.
Lastly, some products did not have standardised names or categories, making stock and sales management not accurate and more complex than it needed to be.

Solution

Near Partner had two main objectives: modernize Tupperware’s legacy systems and automate key processes, eliminating manual tasks and streamlining workflows. This was achieved by creating a solution for product categorization, enabling easy access, filtering, and sorting of products worldwide. Internal search screens also redesigned, allowing for enriched global product information and improved search capabilities.

In addition, Near Partner developed internal applications for order management, logistics, transport, and stock control, taking into account the specific needs of different departments. The project involved various technologies and languages such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, Python, Django, and Oracle.

Despite facing obstacles, including aligning data management technologies and integrating applications with Tupperware’s ERP system, Near Partner successfully managed the project. Agile project management methods were used, employing Scrum methodology and sprints to handle the backlog and facilitate iterative rework. This ensured effective coordination without disrupting Tupperware’s round-the-clock global operations.

Why Near Partner

Tupperware reinforced Near Partner’s “dedication and willingness to deliver work on-quality and on-time”, coupled with a lot of creativity and innovative approach. Additionally, Near Partner’s communication management skills, including transparent updates on project progress, risks, and issues during Steering Meetings, made the collaboration a key asset.
