The Challenge

Bylmo faced a significant hurdle in finding suitable tools to streamline its unique business processes. Existing ERPs were either too expensive or incapable of accommodating their intricate operations, leading to fragmented workflows using over 20 separate tools.

Building internal apps posed a learning curve for the team. They struggled with adapting to tool logic and capabilities. Creating responsive UI across different screens and thematic settings additionally emerged as a substantial challenge.

To find the right tool, Diego performed extensive research involving 44 CRUD tools and deep testing of 24 options to make the right choice. Following the tests, he was choosing between UI Bakery and Budibase, which resulted in him sticking to UI Bakery after all.

UI Bakery emerged as the optimal solution due to its robustness, high customization capabilities, and cost-effectiveness, aligning well with Bylmo's vision for scalable operations.

Bylmo's objectives encompassed the seamless execution of day-to-day tasks, digital transformation through automation, inclusion of previously unattainable processes due to technological limitations, and aligning operations with sales targets.

With UI Bakery, Bylmo successfully created an Order Management System application with sophisticated logic and integration capabilities across multiple external platforms like Shopify. Additionally, a Seller Center app was built for external providers to efficiently manage order statuses and invoices.
