Saived Pharma – Custom Multivendor E-commerce Platform for Ayurvedic Products

Client: Saived Pharma
Location: India
Website: saived.com

Project Overview

Saived Pharma is a company specializing in Ayurvedic products, initially selling through large e-commerce platforms like Amazon. However, changes in government policies made it challenging to continue selling Ayurvedic products through such platforms. To overcome this obstacle, Saived Pharma needed a custom e-commerce solution designed specifically for Ayurvedic products.

We developed a multivendor e-commerce platform that allowed vendors to easily register, list, and sell their Ayurvedic products online. The system was tailored to comply with local regulations and included integrated shipping services, making it more convenient for vendors to start selling immediately. Additionally, Saived Pharma’s platform offered lower commission rates than major competitors, making it an attractive option for vendors.


Challenges

  • Policy Compliance: Government policies restricted Ayurvedic products from being sold through general e-commerce platforms like Amazon. This necessitated a specialized platform tailored for Ayurvedic products.
  • Vendors Onboarding: Saived Pharma required a system where multiple vendors could register and start selling easily, with minimal friction in the onboarding process.
  • Cost-Efficiency: The platform needed to offer competitive commission rates and integrated shipping services to attract more vendors, making the overall selling process more profitable and streamlined.

Our Solution: A Multivendor E-commerce Platform

To solve these challenges, we developed a custom e-commerce platform that allowed Saived Pharma to create a specialized marketplace for Ayurvedic products. The solution leveraged NextJS for the frontend, Laravel for the backend, and SQL for database management, ensuring a robust, fast, and scalable platform.


Key Features

  1. Multivendor System:
    • The platform was designed to support multiple vendors, allowing them to register, list their products, and manage sales with ease. This system enables vendors to set up their own storefronts, control inventory, and manage transactions independently.
  2. Integrated Shipping Services:
    • We integrated various shipping providers to offer a seamless experience for both vendors and customers. This feature enabled vendors to easily ship products without worrying about logistics, further simplifying the selling process.
  3. Lower Commission Rates:
    • Saived Pharma’s e-commerce platform provided a competitive edge by offering lower commission rates than mainstream platforms like Amazon. This made the platform more appealing to small and medium-sized vendors looking for affordable solutions.
  4. Custom Design and User Interface:
    • A clean, user-friendly interface was designed to ensure an easy onboarding process for vendors, as well as a seamless shopping experience for customers. The platform was responsive across all devices to accommodate mobile users.
  5. Regulatory Compliance:
    • The platform was built in accordance with government policies concerning Ayurvedic product sales, ensuring full compliance with local regulations.

Development Process

1. Requirement Analysis
We worked closely with Saived Pharma to understand the regulatory challenges and specific needs of their Ayurvedic product business. This allowed us to create a tailored solution that fit the niche market they targeted.

2. UI/UX Research and Design
We focused on creating a smooth user experience, ensuring that vendors could easily navigate the registration and product listing processes. We also optimized the customer-facing side to enhance search, navigation, and checkout processes.

3. Development and Integration
The platform was developed using NextJS for a fast and responsive frontend and Laravel for backend logic and data management. SQL was used for the database to ensure a structured and efficient data flow. We also integrated various third-party APIs for payment processing and shipping services to offer a complete e-commerce experience.

4. Testing and Quality Assurance
Extensive testing was conducted to ensure that both vendors and customers could use the platform without any issues. We also stress-tested the platform to handle large numbers of vendors and transactions simultaneously.

5. Launch and Post-Launch Support
After the successful launch, we provided ongoing support to Saived Pharma to handle any updates, troubleshoot issues, and add new features as needed.
