Custom commercial systems

Custom e-commerce platforms

We build marketplaces, B2B portals and multi-vendor systems around roles, business rules, data and real integrations.

Discovery from990 €+ VAT / stage

Custom platforms do not use a generic implementation price. Discovery and specifications are offered separately, and development is estimated after clarifying modules, roles, integrations and infrastructure.

  • Roles and permissions
  • B2B flows
  • ERP and CRM integrations
  • Extensible architecture

Choosing the right solution

Custom platform or online store?

We separate the two services so that the architecture, budget and workflow starts from the real complexity.

01Complex processes

Custom e-commerce platform

Multiple merchants or organizations, roles, approvals, pricing rules, repositories and integrations built for the business model.

Explore custom platforms
02A merchant

Online store

Catalog, cart, checkout, payments, delivery and order management for a company that sells its products.

See the Online Shop service

Positioning

Commercial software built around business rules

A custom platform does not start from a list of extensions. We start with actors, processes, exceptions, data sources, and operational responsibilities.

We define what needs to be automated, what remains under human control and how information flows between customers, merchants, internal teams and external systems.

Problems solved

When the classic store can no longer support the commercial model

The rules differ between customers, traders or markets, and orders depend on approvals, stocks, prices and systems that need to be coordinated.

01Roles

Different access and rules

Organizations, agents, merchants and administrators have distinct rights and paths.

Our answer: we model permissions and states before development.

02Data

Sources not communicating

Products, stocks, prices and orders are shared between systems.

Our answer: we establish the source of truth and the timing mechanisms.

03Operations

Manually handled exceptions

Approvals, limits and trade rules are time-consuming and error-prone.

Our answer: we automate predictable cases and keep control where it counts.

04Scaling

Hard to expand architecture

Any new integration affects existing flows.

Our answer: we separate modules and define clear contracts between components.

Who is it suitable for?

For companies with business rules that don't fit into a standard checkout

The service is appropriate when business advantage or efficiency directly depends on commercial software.

Marketplace with multiple merchants

Onboarding, moderation, commissions, settlements and reporting.

03

Trade connected to ERP and warehouses

Controlled synchronized products, stocks, orders and statuses.

Work process

From commercial model to a controlled release platform

  1. DiscoveryWe clarify actors, objectives and constraints.
  2. Process mappingWe document flows and exceptions.
  3. Data and integrationsWe check sources and compatibility.
  4. SpecificationsWe define modules, states and criteria.
  5. ArchitectureWe establish the components and infrastructure.
  6. UX and prototypeWe validate important routes.
  7. Staged developmentWe deliver verifiable modules.
  8. Testing and SecurityWe cover critical roles and scenarios.
  9. Migration and configurationWe prepare the data and environments.
  10. Controlled launchWe are monitoring the first real flows.
  11. TrainingWe teach administration and documentation.
  12. Continuous developmentWe are expanding the platform on priorities.

Responsible estimation

Cost is built from modules, risk and dependencies

We do not promise a fixed price until we understand the roles, rules, data volumes, integrations and availability requirements.

  • Discovery and specification can be a separate stage
  • Implementation can be divided into MVP and subsequent phases
  • Hosting, licenses and external services are separate
  • Responsibilities and code ownership are contractually established
Price and phasing

From discovery to platform launched in stages

Custom platforms do not use standard packages with assumed functionality. Each stage receives deliverables, criteria and estimate after project clarification.

Discovery and specifications

From €990+ VAT / stage

To delineate the business model and prepare a responsible estimate.

May include:
  • Actors, roles and permissions
  • Trade flows and rules
  • Modules and integrations
  • Risks and dependencies
  • High level architecture
  • Estimation by phases
Custom e-commerce MVP

Personalized offerafter discovery

For the first usable version, bounded by flows and acceptance criteria.

May include:
  • Priority commercial modules
  • Roles and Administration
  • Integrations required by the MVP
  • Bounded import or migration
  • QA and security
  • Controlled launch
Staged development

Phased offeragreed budget and roadmap

For complex platforms that need to be expanded without disrupting current operation.

May include:
  • Marketplace or multi-vendor
  • B2B flows and approvals
  • ERP, CRM and APIs
  • Deposits and advanced rules
  • Monitoring and infrastructure
  • Development roadmap

Discovery does not automatically include development. Its value is deduced from the implementation only if this is explicitly provided in the offer. Hosting, licenses and external services are separate.

Operation after launch

The platform continues to evolve along with the business model

The initial stabilization covers the delivered functionality. Operation, monitoring and further development are planned separately.

  • Monitoring, logs, alerts and backup
  • Security updates and dependencies
  • Incident and critical flow support
  • Backlog for new modules and integrations

It is a commercial system built around processes, roles and rules that go beyond the model of a classic online store: marketplace, B2B portal, multi-vendor, approvals, negotiated prices or integration with internal systems.

In an online store, a merchant sells his own products. A custom platform can serve multiple merchants, organizations, warehouses, price lists, approvals and different trade flows.

Yes, after clarifying the operating model. Merchant onboarding, catalogs, commissions, payments, moderation, returns, reports, and each party's responsibilities must be defined.

Yes. The platform can include organizations, multiple users, negotiated pricing, limits, approvals, RFQs, recurring orders, and ERP integration, depending on the project specification.

Yes, if the systems provide compatible APIs, exports, or other mechanisms. Compatibility, data quality and integration limits are checked before bidding.

Yes. Allocation, reservation, timing and availability rules must be defined along with the actual stock source and failure scenarios.

The estimation is done after the analysis and specification stage. Cost depends on roles, modules, business rules, data, integrations, infrastructure, security and reporting requirements.

We do not use a standard package for custom platforms. We can start with a paid discovery and specification stage, followed by a staged offer for implementation.

Duration is determined after clarifying modules and dependencies. Custom platforms are usually delivered in stages, with intermediate validations and controlled releases.

Yes. We define the functions required to validate the business model and clearly separate the components that can be developed after the initial release.

The rights to the custom code, the repository, the reusable components, the infrastructure and the transfer conditions are explicitly specified in the offer and the contract.

Not by default. VPS, storage, email, SMS, payment processors, licenses and other recurring services are priced separately.

We define authentication, role-based authorization, action auditing, data protection, backup and monitoring based on project risk and infrastructure.

Yes, after an audit of the code, infrastructure, dependencies, data and documentation. The audit determines whether it is safer to continue, refactor, or staged rebuild.

Yes. Monitoring, backup, updates, operational support and development of new modules are covered by a separate maintenance and continuous development agreement.

Next step

We turn the business model into a system that can be built and verified

We start with actors, rules, data, and integrations. Then we establish an architecture, an MVP and the implementation stages.
