Case Study: Cocoliche achieves faster back-office operations with Sinaptia's Ruby on Rails modernization

Cocoliche cuts page load times from 30s to under 500ms with Sinaptia

Cocoliche, a second-hand clothes marketplace with physical shops in Argentina, faced significant performance issues and technical debt in its nine-year-old Ruby on Rails back-office application. Staff were frustrated by pages that took minutes to load, and the founders needed to add new features like Inventory Control and Barcode Scanner Integration. They engaged vendor Sinaptia to assess the application and modernize it for improved performance and new functionality.

Sinaptia upgraded the Ruby on Rails application, migrated infrastructure to Heroku, and optimized performance, reducing page load times from over 30 seconds to under 500ms. They also built and integrated the new Inventory Control and Barcode Scanner features. This reduced the daily closing work at each store from hours to minutes, greatly improving operational efficiency for Cocoliche.
