Full Story

Inoxoft solution

The business world is constantly evolving. Whether you’re in the manufacturing, education, or service industry, having personalized print materials can boost your brand awareness. Our target users are no exception.

Our client saw a way how to simplify the  process of selling merchandise and partnered with on-demand printing and fulfillment company due to the following benefits:

  • High-profit margins;
  • Reduced inventory costs;
  • Fast, reliable production fulfillment;
  • Strong product selection & quality;
  • All the technical aspects of the printing process.

Our task was to bring to life the marketplace with the four types of users each with its own set of options. These are:

  • Super Admin who has access to orders and manages transactions;
  • Admin (Store Owner), who creates accounts, online shops, and sells merch;
  • POD provider who covers technical aspects of the printing process and shipments;
  • Customers who buy products on the platform.

How does it work?

After registration a person needs just a few clicks to become an owner of an online shop on the platform: upload the brand logo > select colors > create an account. Then store owners can upload designs & choose products to sell on the platform.

The platform itself is already connected with a POD provider who print & ship purchased products to end customers. And while everything is automated, users can easily monitor all activity, manage payouts, and select products.

Results

Inoxoft’s role was to take over all the technical aspects. We started to develop the platform from scratch, covering the full cycle of development and building the foundation for a convenient feature-rich marketplace.
