Infostream: Process Mapping Tool & ERP Integration
When Unikraft LLP set out to tighten control over its material and information flow, they envisioned a system that would work with their in-house KAD ERP, not around it. Partnering with T-Minus Tech Solutions, they now run that vision every day through Infostream—a web application that turns value-stream mapping into an intuitive, real-time experience.
Technical Architecture Driven by Requirements
| Layer | Choice | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Frontend | Angular | Robust single-page experience with mature tooling |
| Backend | Go | Lightweight, highly concurrent API services |
| Real-time Layer | Redis | Millisecond-level permission & session checks |
| Database | SQL Server | Clone tables mirror KAD ERP structure for seamless API-level synchronisation |
