Development timelines vary by complexity and requirements. A basic e-commerce website (up to 500 products, standard features) typically takes 3-4 months. A mid-size platform (5,000+ products, advanced features, integrations) requires 5-7 months. Large-scale enterprise platforms (extensive customization, omnichannel, complex integrations) need 9-12 months. Our agile methodology delivers working software in bi-weekly sprints, so you see progress continuously. We provide detailed timelines during initial assessment based on your specific requirements, feature list, and integration needs.

Yes, integration is a core strength. We've integrated with major retail systems including POS (Square, Toast, Shopify POS, Lightspeed, Clover, Vend), inventory management (TradeGecko, Cin7, DEAR, Brightpearl), ERP systems (SAP, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo), accounting (QuickBooks, Xero, Tally, Zoho Books), and shipping (ShipStation, Shippo, EasyPost). We use standard APIs, webhooks, and when necessary, custom integration middleware implementing secure authentication, real-time data synchronization, and comprehensive error handling for reliable data exchange.

We integrate with all major payment gateways and processors: Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, PayU, Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Square, Braintree, Authorize.Net, 2Checkout, and regional payment providers. We implement secure tokenization, PCI-DSS compliant processing, support for multiple payment methods (cards, wallets, UPI, net banking, EMI, BNPL), recurring payments for subscriptions, and proper error handling with customer-friendly messaging.

We implement real-time inventory synchronization using event-driven architecture. When inventory changes (sale, return, adjustment, receiving), the system immediately updates all connected channels including e-commerce, POS, marketplaces, and third-party integrations. We use queue-based processing for reliability, implement conflict resolution for simultaneous updates, maintain audit logs, provide safety stock buffers to prevent overselling, and offer configurable sync rules for different inventory scenarios.

Yes, comprehensive data migration is included. We analyze your existing data structure, map fields to new system, clean and standardize data, migrate product catalogs (descriptions, images, variants, pricing, categories), customer records, order history, and inventory levels. We perform validation testing, provide rollback capability, and offer parallel running capability during transition. Our migration process ensures zero data loss and maintains historical records for reporting and customer service.

Off-the-shelf platforms offer standard features but force you to adapt your business to their limitations. Our custom development provides: exact fit to your unique workflows, integration with your existing systems without workarounds, features specific to your retail category, scalability matching your growth plans, complete data ownership and control, no per-transaction or licensing fees limiting growth, and ability to innovate differentiating features rather than using same capabilities as competitors.

Scalability is architected from day one. We use cloud-native infrastructure with auto-scaling, content delivery networks (CDN) for static content, database optimization and read replicas, Redis caching layers, load balancing across servers, queue-based processing for non-critical operations, and image optimization. We conduct load testing simulating peak traffic (Black Friday, holiday seasons) and design for 20-50x normal capacity. Our infrastructure automatically scales during traffic spikes without manual intervention.

Yes, comprehensive support is essential for retail operations. We provide 24/7 technical monitoring and support, regular security patches and updates, performance optimization, bug fixes, feature enhancements, peak season support preparation, integration maintenance, hosting and infrastructure management, regular backups, and disaster recovery. Support includes dedicated support engineer, guaranteed response times, monthly performance reports, and proactive monitoring with automated alerts.

With 70%+ of e-commerce traffic from mobile, we design mobile-first by: starting design process with mobile layouts, optimizing images and load times for mobile networks, implementing progressive web apps (PWA) for app-like experiences, simplifying navigation for small screens, supporting mobile wallets and payment methods, enabling biometric authentication, optimizing checkout for mobile, implementing mobile-specific features (barcode scanning, image search), and conducting extensive mobile device testing across iOS and Android.

Yes, marketplace integration is a specialized service. We integrate with major marketplaces (Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Ajio, Snapdeal, Walmart, eBay) including: automated product listing with category mapping, real-time inventory synchronization, order import and status updates, automated pricing rules, fulfillment method management (FBA, FBM, seller fulfilled), returns processing, marketplace-specific product optimization, consolidated reporting, and profitability analysis. We build centralized management dashboards controlling all marketplaces from single interface.
