OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SoluLab, and what were your goals?

We hired SoluLab to create a functional prototype for a B2C marketplace called f2fmart.com. Our target was to create a clickable functional prototype for a mobile application for two users that are buyer & sellers along with the web panel for both. We also required a customized admin panel that is capable of working in a similar manner or better like the admin panel of Shopify with custom functionalities.In addition to this, SoluLab provided us with highly valuable business consultation services along with business analytics to give us a deeper insight into our business.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

It is SoluLab's fantastic previous works that led us to the selection of the vendor. Moreover, a close and trusted acquaintance of mine gave us the reference of SoluLab. In addition to this, I personally read through some great reviews from SoluLab’s previous clients and finally decided to select the vendor.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

I would say that the project was certainly a bit more complicated as compared to similar others. It is because there were a number of features and functionalities required from our end. But to our surprise, SoluLab’s team was just awesome and they easily tamed down even the toughest of tasks with utmost ease. f2fmart.com is a single marketplace for both B2C as well as Wholesale. Keeping in mind the present trend, SoluLab focused on mobile-first strategies and then the desktop. Security was also kept tight for the users. Indian buyers and sellers were allowed mobile OTP-based login and foreign customers were allowed email OTP-based login which enhanced the security. The Buyer and Seller Dashboard was one of the most vital components. It included an array of useful modules for both buyers and sellers to make the entire process extremely convenient.

There were some additional features like Admin Dashboard, Seller Store, Automated Seller registration Process (certificate verification, GST Number verification etc.), Yearly KYC Processing Feature, Vendor Commission Setup, Invoicing Module, Multiple Language Option, Nationality popup and predefined multi-currency support, and Chat Module (User to user chat, Chatbot, and Support Chat). Each of the stages of the project was undertaken by the team of SoluLab efficiently and effectively without giving us even a single chance to complain. Overall, we were entirely satisfied with the services we received from SoluLab.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

SoluLab assigned us a vastly experienced senior business analyst, Project Manager and team of 6 developers.

The entire scope of the project was rightly converted into a prototype and we received an editable prototype file. The functional prototype for B2C marketplace known as f2fmart.com was successfully built within the stipulated frame of time, thereby making the project a great success.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

I would love to say that the workflow between both the teams was awesome. We never realized that we were two different teams located at two different locations working together. SoluLab’s team was always proactive and maintained an excellent flow of communication.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The most impressive thing about SoluLab is their creativity. We shared with them our project plan and SoluLab’s provided us with several creative inputs that worked wonders for our entire project as well as our business.
