They needed to offer an arrangement of tools & information and preparing on a membership premise, enabling SME makers to be more compelling with their opportunity. To build multivendor marketplace application, where producers sell directly to their customers and an unspecified number of single vendor sites, where TGBL will be the vendor reselling producers products to customers. Also, integration with several third-party systems for social marketing, searching the vendors on a map, advanced search feature, different pricing for types of buyers and businesses and many more.

  • Comprehensive implementation of TAX as per UK laws.
  • Developed the shipping charge breakups with having the additional charge for more than one quantity and charging the extra for the handling of the product.
