To become an e-bike marketplace leader in the EU, this fast-growing e-commerce firm needed to design a scalable and technical solution capable of handling hundreds of dealers selling thousands of new and used e-bikes.
The client aimed to create a next-generation, commission-free digital platform for 3,000+ e-bike dealers across the EU and enable them to promote their goods through specific and detailed product presentations. The new platform had to provide a win-win business model to all involved stakeholders – the dealers, e-bike customers, and the platform operator.
To make this vision a reality, they needed the help of a trusted IT partner with an expertise in delivering robust platforms that can provide strong payments support.
We framed the project using an agile approach and divided it into three main phases: discovery, research, and prototyping. We provided a multilingual team capable of working on all the client’s web shop extensions regardless of software (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, Java, JavaScript).
The team achieved the flexibility needed for the requirements of Java and JavaScript-based web shops and utilised a tech stack which included:
In the first phase, we did extensive research on technologies and frameworks to meet customer needs and demands.
The second phase was dedicated to architecture, design and UX prototyping, and actual marketplace development, where we focused on constant improvements and adding new features.
In the third phase, which ran in parallel with the second, we continued to provide production support and maintenance.
As a trusted IT partner with a keen understanding of e-commerce, scalable tech, and agile practices, the client chose us to help them develop their e-bike marketplace.
Our 20+ years of experience building responsive and reliable digital platforms supported by highly skilled teams facilitated the client’s ability to provide 3,000+ e-bike dealers a strong platform to promote their products across the EU.
Using proven, innovative, and scalable solutions, we helped drive the transformation of the client’s online shop into a state-of-the-art central marketplace for new and used e-bikes across the EU. The platform was successfully designed according to the client’s requirements, with key capabilities that include:
