# Ordering management made easy

Customer solutions today must be user-friendly and tailored to market demands. But hidden behind beautiful frontends we often find cumbersome, manual work processes. Salt.no on the other hand is an example of the opposite.

## The challenge

- As a leading salt distributor in Norway, faced challenges in providing an innovative and user-friendly solution for ordering salt.
- Industries like road contracting and fisheries had unpredictable demands influenced by weather conditions and catch variations.
- Manual sales processes lacked the overview, automation, and self-service capabilities expected by customers.

## The solution

- Using Appfarm's visual development platform, Saltimport developed Salt.no, a fast, flexible and agile solution that meets specific requirements beyond standard e-commerce products.
- Avo Consulting, which used Appfarm as part of its RAD (Rapid App Development) service, facilitated a smooth process that started with an MVP, involving developers, a design expert and a project manager.
- Iterative development enabled the inclusion of end users in the process, ensuring feedback and real-time adjustments to functionality.
- The solution included a website, user profiles, design, visual identity and ordering system, providing an industry-oriented source of insights and a customer portal.

## The results

- **Unique competitive advantage gained within industry.**
Equipped with their new digital solutions, Saltimport have accelerated their digital transformation and made themselves stand out from competition within the industry.
