To efficiently cater to the needs of the buyers and sellers, the website and the app needed to have every specific functionality and features.
Challenges
As the platform connects buyers and sellers from both national and international markets, the interface had to be easy to handle and should allow hassle free registration and login process across a wide range of web browsers, operating systems and devices.
There should be a system to allow both the admin and the seller to upload product images, price and descriptions.
Create the option to let buyers browse through the wide range of product listings and categories and get in touch with the web admin.
Allow access to the sellers to update the inventory on the site and the app from time to time and maintain the records and also allow bulk product upload.
Develop an admin interface for controlling and operating the website and the application from the back-end. It shall give the admin an end to end access to mange the buyers, sellers and all the contents.

How our services bring about success
Justyn Bensimoun
I enjoyed working with Brainium, they are very patient and will listen to all your ideas. Even after my project went live, they’re helping me set it up. Thank you so much!
John Coakley
Brainium is the best company that I have worked with in terms of providing updates and setting expectations. Regarding project management, the timelines and deliverables were met as scheduled. I did not have to wait or inquire about what was going on or when expectations were to be met. You guys have worked side by side with me. You have fully understood my thought process and what I envisioned, and you superseded my expectations.
Andrew Lawson
Great company, have been working with them for 10 years & it’s been a great working relationship. I would absolutely recommend Anindya & his team. In fact, I have already done this to friends & business colleagues on several occasions.

We were extremely pleased with the web design work done for us by Brainium. Of all the vendors, we initially contacted them. They offered the most competitive pricing and were the most helpful and responsive in answering our various questions regarding the design process, the software involved, and the final product. After we commenced the design effort, they responded within a day to all our requests, and completed the design exactly as specified in less than three weeks.
