Egma Impact
How we transformed obstacles into opportunities
⚠️
Before Egma
1
Advanced Custom Product Configurators: Implementing real-time neon and acrylic configurators with dynamic sizing, shape-based cropping, color previews, resolution validation, and synchronized pricing logic.
2
Multiple Purchase Flows: Supporting traditional e-commerce for pre-made products, full configurator flows for custom products, and WhatsApp-based inquiry flows for catalog-only categories.
3
Backend–Frontend Synchronization: Designing flexible data models for diverse custom specifications and ensuring pricing, validation, and configuration rules aligned across both systems.
4
Complex Pricing Logic: Handling matrix-based pricing for acrylic shapes × sizes × thickness combinations and dynamic neon pricing based on characters, lines, sizes, and backing depth.
5
Image Processing Requirements: Validating resolution, applying shape-based cropping masks (circle, heart, hexagon), and generating previews and final print-ready cropped images.
6
Unified Cart & Order System: Managing mixed cart items—standard products and unique custom-configured items with fully preserved specifications.
💡
After Egma
Flexible Product Data Architecture: Django models categorized products into pre-made and customizable types, with structured–JSON hybrid storage enabling dynamic custom specifications and validation.
Interactive Neon Sign Builder: Built a real-time configurator supporting multi-line text, live glow effect, font previews, dynamic dimension calculations, and instant pricing updates.
Advanced Acrylic Photo Frame Builder: Implemented non-rectangular cropping (heart, round, hexagon) using shape masking, resolution validation, dynamic sizing logic, and synchronized backend price mapping.
Multi-Flow Product Handling: Added intelligent routing so catalog-only categories open WhatsApp with pre-filled interest messages, while purchasable categories route to product detail or configurators.
Unified Cart Architecture: Custom items stored as unique entries with serialized specifications, cropped image previews, and correct pricing from configuration through checkout.
Synchronized Pricing Engine: Identical pricing formulas implemented on both the frontend (live preview) and backend (order validation) to avoid any customer-visible discrepancies.
Secure Razorpay Integration: Server-side order creation and signature verification ensured tamper-proof payment confirmation and reliable order finalization.
Dynamic Content Management: Admin side enabled controlling hero sliders, featured categories, featured products, and homepage content without developer involvement.
