Client Overview

Low online traffic despite marketing spend

• No mobile shopping app
• Generic product listings with no personalization
• Limited payment and fulfillment options

They needed a robust, scalable e-commerce platform tailored for growth—fast.

2. Cross-Platform Mobile App (iOS + Android)
