Our client, a growing eCommerce business, required robust eCommerce CMS software to support multiple vendors, ensure seamless transactions, and provide a smooth user experience. The goal was to develop a scalable CMS for eCommerce that could manage high traffic, multiple payment gateways, and real-time order tracking. Additionally, the system needed extensive customization options to meet the diverse needs of vendors and customers, ensuring flexibility and scalability as the business expanded.
