PROJECT BACKGROUND

Whosellzit

Whosellzit is an e-commerce marketplace platform but with a twist. It is an ecommerce platform with a concept of asking and buying products of your choice. Instead of a standard catalogue of pre-defined products, the ecommerce platform empowers users to define what they want and connects them with sellers with matching products. Simple, hassle-free system with no payment fee.

Key Features

Live Feed for business user
Referral Program
Multiple payment options
Advanced search with multi-lingual capability
SSO (Single Sign On) implementation
Touch of social network

Business Problem

Most e-commerce websites or platforms are controlled by sellers. Sellers post their catalogue of items and consumers have to pick from what's available. Sometimes, consumers can end up browsing through hundreds of products across various website portals and still can't find that one item.
Based on the above problem, the client approached us with the proposal for Whosellzit. An e-commerce marketplace platform built to fit the consumer need.

Hidden Brains' Solution

As tech creators, the leadership at Hidden Brains often looks for projects that challenge the status norm and disrupt the market. The idea of inventing an ecommerce marketplace solution was welcomed with open arms.
We partnered with the stakeholders of the product in an open forum to encourage and facilitate collaborative thinking.
The solution: A hybrid front-end platform to allow buyers and sellers to operate with a single login from the same portal for a more seamless experience and a dynamic backend portal for the client to manage everything.

The Snapshots

Key Challenges

Communicating and managing the expectations of various stakeholders simultaneously was difficult since the ecommerce platform concept was very unique.
Incorporating design changes with constantly shifting feedback from stakeholders
Handling the complex cases arising due to the merging of multiple user roles
Managing the referral program for buyers and sellers separately despite single login
Integration and sync expectations with multiple platforms
