The Challenge
A growing retailer was outgrowing its off-the-shelf storefront: vendors couldn't manage their own catalogues, inventory drifted out of sync across channels, and management had no real view of what was actually selling. They needed a platform that could carry multiple vendors without multiplying the operational overhead.
What We Built
- Multi-vendor management — each vendor runs its own catalogue, pricing and fulfilment
- Integrated payment gateways — card payments through Stripe with automated vendor settlement
- Real-time inventory sync — stock levels stay accurate across every sales channel
- Custom analytics dashboard — live sales, conversion and inventory reporting for management
Technology
A Next.js storefront for fast, SEO-friendly shopping, a Django backend for catalogue and order logic, and Redis for caching and real-time inventory state.
The Outcome
- 3.2× revenue increase after the platform launch
- Vendor onboarding went from manual setup to self-service
- Inventory discrepancies effectively eliminated by real-time sync
