Our SME company in the infrastructure development sector is seeking a robust e-commerce platform to streamline and enhance the procurement of infrastructure materials. The goal is to develop an intuitive online marketplace that connects material suppliers directly with construction firms, offering real-time inventory updates, personalized purchasing recommendations, and seamless payment solutions.

πŸ“‹Project Details

As an SME specializing in infrastructure development, our company faces challenges in efficiently sourcing construction materials from various suppliers. To address this, we plan to develop an e-commerce platform that will revolutionize the procurement process for infrastructure projects. The platform will leverage headless commerce technologies, allowing for a highly customizable front-end experience. Personalization features will provide tailored material recommendations based on past purchases and project requirements. Integrating social commerce elements will facilitate supplier reviews and ratings, building trust and transparency. The platform will support subscription models for recurring material needs and offer augmented reality (AR) tools to visualize material usage in real-world scenarios. Payment processing will be streamlined using solutions like Stripe and PayPal, ensuring secure and swift transactions. Key technologies will include Shopify Plus or Magento for the backend, with Algolia and Contentful enhancing product search and content management. The project is expected to be completed within 12-16 weeks and will initially target small to medium-sized construction firms looking to optimize their material procurement processes. By creating a seamless, efficient, and personalized online purchasing experience, we aim to significantly reduce procurement time and costs, providing a competitive edge in the infrastructure development industry.
