NCML Storeman — Warehouse Management

Legacy .NET warehouse platform modernized to Ruby on Rails + React with contracts, orders, weighbridge, approvals and Business Central integration.

Role: Software Developer — Backend & Full Stack

Location context: India

Overview

Enterprise warehouse management platform modernized from a legacy .NET ecosystem to Ruby on Rails APIs and React-based interfaces. The system supports warehouse operations, contracts, deposits, vendors, delivery and release orders, weighbridge workflows, approvals, reporting, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central integration.

Challenge

The organization needed to move off a legacy .NET stack without disrupting day-to-day warehouse, commodity, and contract workflows used across operations teams.

Approach

Business Central integration

Problem: Master and operational data needed to stay aligned between Storeman and Business Central.

Solution: OData API consumption, entity mapping, and integration debugging on the Rails backend.
