Amazon for Builders, an Ecommerce for Construction Raw Materials
About
Individuals with a broad vision, the client has a total experience of 26 years in supplying premium quality construction equipment. They had the vision to streamline the delivery of raw materials to their destined project sites more efficiently. Thus, they sought Brainvire’s expertise in e-commerce multi-vendor management for the digital transformation of their vision.
Project Highlights
The online marketplace makes it easier for builders to buy their products and leverage sales for traditional suppliers in the industry. Suppliers of building materials can upload their entire product inventory onto the multi-vendor platform, thus allowing customers to compare prices, browse an unlimited range of products and place orders. It’s a full-fledged .Net Core based ecommerce application with the functionality of Vendors Warehouse Management, Logistic Management and Order Management. The platform caters to both first-time buyers and builders. They can easily search the site’s detailed product catalog and compare costs from multiple suppliers in the industry. The site is customized to find the best price or closest supplier depending on what is their preferred choices.
The Challenges
- Customization and Classification of SKUsThe category on-boarding for many of the SKUs were done manually through Excel and not directly uploaded from the supplier portals.
- Lightning Fast Product SearchThe application needs to have high-performance search functionality.
- Urgent Delivery of ProductsThe client wanted to ensure that the customers’ work doesn’t come to a standstill due to the time required for delivery of products.
- Order FulfilmentIf the customer doesn't arrive to pick up the order, the seller/vendor should be able to deliver it to the mentioned location.
