Multi-Vendor Marketplace Platform

The challenge: A US-based online retail operator needed to consolidate a fragmented network of independent seller storefronts, each with its own checkout and inventory system, into one unified marketplace experience — without slowing down as vendor count grew.

We designed and built a scalable Multi-Vendor Marketplace Platform to give the operator one unified ecosystem for vendors, products, orders, and payments. The 16-week engagement covered discovery and architecture (3 weeks), core development (10 weeks), and vendor onboarding and load testing (3 weeks).

The platform serves marketplace operators, individual vendors, and shoppers, each needing a different lens on the same data. Vendors manage their own storefronts, while operators oversee the entire marketplace from one dashboard.

Built on a Laravel REST API backend with a React frontend and deployed on AWS, the system supports 1,200+ active vendors, processes 620+ daily orders, and delivers sub-200ms response times under concurrent shopper load.

The result: since launch, the platform has driven 27% GMV growth, with vendors reporting a 4.8★ satisfaction rating for the new onboarding and payout experience.
