Motivation
The client struggled with time-consuming manual management of promotions and promo codes, risking delays and errors in campaign execution. The goal was to automate routine tasks, improve system integration, and ensure accurate and timely processing of promotional campaigns.
Main challenges
Challenge 01
Access Control Issues
The system required secure, role-based access to sensitive promotions and promo code modules. Configuring this access while maintaining operational efficiency was complex and demanded close coordination between technical and support teams. Azati proposed implementing granular, audit-friendly access control using Spring Security and AOP to solve this.
