Overview
Leeloo's is a UAE-based online marketplace, launched in 2021, that brings nostalgic and traditional products from around the world to customers in the region. As a small team, they needed a development partner who could both build the marketplace and keep it running after launch.
Next Olive was engaged from January to May 2022 for e-commerce development, web development and ongoing maintenance. This page summarises the engagement as the client described it in their independent, verified review on Clutch.
The challenge
A marketplace is harder than a single-brand store: several vendors need their own way to list products and run their storefront, while customers expect one consistent place to sign up, browse and order. Leeloo's needed that platform built, and then maintained so the site stayed available as the catalogue and vendor base grew.
What we built
Our team built a vendor management platform. Vendors can list their products and manage their own stores online, while customers can sign up and place orders that flow through to fulfilment. Alongside the build, we provided maintenance and managed IT support for the live site.
For marketplace projects like this, our usual approach is to separate the vendor, customer and admin roles from day one, so each can evolve without breaking the others. If you are planning something similar, our MVP requirements template and app development cost calculator are a good starting point.
