Business Challenge
Main Challenge
Our client had an idea of a marketplace, CoinAfrique, for African countries like eBay or OLX to make shopping more convenient and facilitate easy buying and selling of both used and new goods. The product aimed to serve as a middleman between the buyer and seller, ensuring the sales agreement was executed as promised. With this idea, they came to our ecommerce marketplace developers, who saw the potential and started working on the project. However, considering the niche, this project was extra challenging and our marketplace development needed to solve such challenges
Covering the multi-country challenges
The CoinAfrique system needed to accommodate the various languages and time zones of African countries and be convenient. It also had to cover different payment systems.
Buttling slow-Internet reality
Considering the prevalence of slow internet connections among customers, it was essential for CoinAfrique to be lightweight and fast.
In-sync system development
Custom marketplace development, which included creating the site and two mobile applications for iOS and Android. Also, implementing an admin panel for system management and dispute resolution by moderators and administrators.
Solution
In the beginning
Our online marketplace software developers kicked off working on the project on the dedicated team model, expanding the client’s team. The close collaboration helped to fulfill the vision by turning the CoinAfrique idea into reality in a short time.
