Programmers.ai provides an integrated platform that tracks, stores, and manages inventory across warehouses in real time
About the Client
Our client is a diversified Fortune 500, privately-owned company whose largest business is pork production for domestic and foreign consumption. The corporation employs over 5,000 workers, with an annual revenue of over $1.9 billion. The company produces, markets, exports, and sells meat products, specializing in fresh, frozen, and processed pork offerings distributed to foodservice operators, grocery stores, retailers, and distributors. Additionally, the corporation transforms animal fat into biodiesel fuel post-shipping.
- Industry: Manufacturing
- Headquartered: USA
- Platforms: CSS3.0/MUI, React.js, HTML5, JavaScript, TypeScript, TypeScript
- Team Size: 2 Developers
The Challenge
The client wanted a comprehensive and centralized inventory management system that allows accurate inventory counts and states across all eight distribution warehouses. Due to the vast amount of raw data shared in the five states with warehouses, there were few ideas for executing and building a website while achieving the requirements of the Business Analyst, Inventory Management team, and company stakeholders.
Unable to maintain application value and maximize operational efficiencies.
Unable to identify the current inventory levels, the condition of the inventory (fresh, frozen, on-hold, partial, wipe, etc.) and inventory location (including coming in, out, or in transit) of products.
Our Solution
Our team needed to create an interface that users found easy to use with an attractive, modern look and feel. Because of the massive amount of data and organization systems across the various companies, we needed to work with the client closely and provide multiple ideas to work through the design and organization. We needed to provide detailed documentation so the company could update its system in the future.
Frontend Modernization
A user-friendly interface is crucial to providing a seamless experience for users. To modernize their frontend experience, we revived 400 green screens, which entailed a completely redesigned IBM iSeries (AS400) user interface. The updated interface makes all features easily accessible, visually appealing, and intuitive.
Material UI Framework for React.js
To plan and design a conceptual framework (MUI) to serve as a foundation for data at the modular level, we completed a comprehensive examination of their system’s data collection and organization. The design team created and implemented interactive prototype mockups to keep the designs current. Developers did extensive testing to determine stresses and solutions using numerous examples.
Navigation Update
The design team worked on each module’s intricate functional flow described in a challenging Excel and Word document. Users can access specific features and utilize dynamic visuals with a vertical side navigation bar. The presence of a navigation menu dramatically impacts the user experience.
Style Guide Creation
The design team developed a Style Guide to reflect Seaboard’s corporate style and maintain brand consistency in all writing and design. The Style Guide ensures that various content creators contribute in a coordinated way.
Process Documentation
The team explained the background of each module, why they opted for certain elements, and how they aligned with the original objective stated in the creative brief. The client appreciated the addition of a concept title and statement to differentiate between each visual direction.
Module Design and System Documentation
Subsequently, we created documentation illustrating these applications to efficiently maintain and update their system using React components with minimal interference.

I wanted to take a moment to highlight and commemorate the efforts from our dedicated PIO team. To preface, the projects we work on here are complex, with rigid objectives, budgets, and timelines. Expectations are always high and are ever-changing. From the start of our relationship, the IO team was able to exceed expectations and make our business wishes a reality.
Over the past year I have worked with them, they have worked very hard to understand our highly customized system and troubleshoot things with little or no documentation while managing to keep the business up and running normally. Without the hard work and dedication they have shown, I know we would have had some issues causing downtime or lost production. I am looking forward to continuing working them in the next year as well.
I have been working with Programmers IO for more than 5 years now and I have been pleased with all projects and developers that I have worked with. We have had a few issues here and there but they have always fixed and made it right. They have been an excellent addition to our business.
