Client

A digital marketplace for curated furniture and interior pieces where independent sellers and professional dealers offer unique products. The business combines moderated listings, commerce and furniture logistics into a single marketplace experience.

Challenge

Buying and selling unique furniture required product decisions beyond traditional ecommerce.

  1. Different seller requirements

    One marketplace needed to support both occasional sellers and professional dealers without compromising either experience.

  2. Unique furniture delivery

    Large and fragile furniture introduced delivery scenarios that standard ecommerce platforms were not designed to handle.

  3. Buyer purchase confidence

    Buyers needed confidence before purchasing second hand pieces from independent sellers they had never interacted with.

  4. Product discovery at scale

    A growing catalog of unique pieces made it difficult for buyers to find relevant items through search and filtering.

Solution

  1. 01

    Role based account system

    Created an account system that supported different seller roles, access levels and operating models.

  2. 02

    Delivery coordination

    Developed a delivery orchestrator that selected the most suitable shipping method based on product and destination.

  3. 03

    Buyer assurance

    Integrated seller verification, order validation and secure payment into one purchasing experience.

  4. 04

    Catalog experience

    Redesigned product discovery to deliver faster search, more accurate filtering and easier catalog navigation.
