About the client

Viabirds is a company seeking to create an innovative e-commerce platform that caters to the unique needs of commuters. They envisioned a solution allowing customers to conveniently pick up products on their way home through strategically located pickup stations. By providing this non-traditional approach to e-commerce, Viabirds aimed to offer a time-saving and efficient shopping experience for their target audience.

Challenge

One of the primary challenges for ElifTech was to create a logical system for the e-commerce platform integrated with pickup stations, implementing a "flyby system" where customers can pick up products at designated stations. This required synchronizing the flyby pickup stations with the platform's backend, enabling real-time updates on product availability, order management, and pickup coordination.

In addition, ElifTech had to develop a complete e-commerce platform and integrate a specific payment system. This involved creating a user-friendly interface for customers to browse products, place orders, and manage their transactions. The platform needed to be robust, scalable, and capable of handling a significant volume of transactions and data. Additionally, the platform's launch was planned within a specified timeframe, necessitating successfully balancing complex features and integrations with project deadlines.

ElifTech developed a robust e-commerce platform built upon the Spryker Cloud Commerce OS, a highly modular e-commerce system designed to connect various providers and consumers seamlessly. The platform served as the foundation for the entire ecosystem, providing a centralized hub for product listings, orders, and transactions. In addition, ElifTech developed a comprehensive management system for the flyby stations and integrated it with the e-commerce platform. This involved synchronizing the flyby pickup stations with the platform's backend, enabling real-time updates on product availability, order management, and pickup coordination. The system allowed efficient management and monitoring of the flyby stations' status and inventory. ElifTech extended this platform to encompass comprehensive management tools for Flyby Stations, effectively bridging the gap between the digital marketplace and physical pickup locations.
