Summary

At ABCloudz, we are thrilled to have collaborated with a visionary client who has a grand goal of revolutionizing the construction materials marketplace in Israel. Our mission was to create an MVP that would be a game-changer in the industry, complete with a rich set of features that met our client’s evolving demands.

We understand that our client’s needs were constantly changing, and we were up to the challenge of adapting to their every requirement with unparalleled flexibility. Despite the demanding scope of work, we were able to stay within our client’s budget, ensuring that they received a cost-effective solution that exceeded their expectations.

To achieve this feat, the ABCloudz team applied tried and trusted web development technologies to create an MVP that included all the essential features required. We also overcame several unique challenges related to the project’s logic, delivering a cutting-edge solution that sets our client’s business apart from the competition.

Challenges

The client approached us with a request to develop a one-of-a-kind app with unique custom logic for their tender system. The app required rich functionality, including a system that would notify suppliers with the requested materials in their stock about all requests and require them to confirm their readiness to respond. Additionally, the client needed supplier proposals to be detailed and flexible, allowing for alternative materials and customization of quantities and pricing.

To achieve this functionality, the ABCloudz team had to create a complex system of proposals, requests, and notifications. This system also enabled the client to combine different offers and choose the best price. The client also requested a complex admin functionality that would allow them to customize requests and proposals at any time, as well as take control of all app operations when needed.

One of the challenges we faced during development was the app’s unique design, which included a Hebrew layout that required right-to-left writing. Additionally, we had to integrate the platform with Tranzila, an Israeli-specific payment service for credit/debit card payments. Its integration and configuration differ significantly from payment services typically integrated with web marketplaces.

Solution

Our team at ABCloudz has developed a cutting-edge web platform that empowers buyers to easily purchase construction materials, browse through supplier catalogs, and make construction material requests with ease.

To make this possible, we created two state-of-the-art web portals – the marketplace platform and the Admin panel. Our marketplace was built with React frontend and Java backend, providing a seamless and intuitive experience for buyers. Our platform’s stability is ensured with the use of PostgreSQL, a reliable and scalable database that ensures all information and data are managed with the highest level of security and efficiency.

Features

We provided the customer with a unique construction material marketplace that works according to the client’s specific vision. The basic features of the web platform are the following:

  • 01. Request-proposal system

    Buyers can easily create construction material requests, while suppliers can respond with their own customizable proposals.

  • 02. Tender principle

    Buyers can conveniently browse through supplier proposals and select the most attractive ones based on the tender principle.

  • 03. Payment variation

    There are two supported payment methods available: payments with credit/debit cards and line of credit.

  • 04. Region-specific UI/UX design

    Platform has many region-specific UI/UX design features, including the Hebrew language layout where all texts are arranged from right to left.

  • 05. Supplementary services

    Additional services include the ability to order truck unloading and choose between various delivery types.

  • 06. Admin panel

    Our platform includes an admin panel that provides administrators with special functionality for modifying orders, requests, and proposals.

Results

We are proud to have delivered a feature-packed platform for construction material sales that meets our client’s unique vision and requirements. Our web app offers a range of benefits to different user categories, including:

  • Suppliers can better connect with buyers and present their offers more effectively.
  • Buyers can quickly find the best deals, make combined orders to save costs, and benefit from improved delivery and invoice management.
  • The platform is scalable and can be easily extended with new functionality.
  • The platform is fully manageable, with unique control features for the administrator.

In addition to delivering rich functionality, the ABCloudz team provided valuable technical consultation to the customer and demonstrated our ability to adapt to changing requirements and challenges, such as the Hebrew UI layout and Tranzila integration.
