Blishoper

An e-commerce company that sells new and used electronic devices to consumers in India. The company started as an online grocery store and later shifted to selling electronic devices with a key focus on mobile phones.

Key Challenges and Requirements

Changing the business model from an online grocery to a used phone store required Blishoper to completely modify the application. Following were some of the key requirements of the project:

Scalability: Moving from a thin customer base to 100K+ users today demanded a scalable infrastructure that would perform without any interruption.
A flexible payment system that would enhance the user experience.
Quick turnaround.

Blishoper was initially using a WooCommerce-based solution to support their online grocery business. However, this lacked the ability to manage a larger set of data and transactions. Hence, the company was looking for an easily scalable solution that would cater to the multiple verticals it served (which was not just limited to used phones).

Solutions Offered by Hidile

Given that the main challenge was scalability, we suggested that Blishoper move from the WooCommerce solution they had been using to a custom-built application. This gave us complete control of the development process and made it easier for us to build customized features that met the exact needs of the customer. We also integrated an all-in-one payment system that enabled a seamless payment experience for Blishoper’s consumers.

One of the key highlights of this engagement was that Hidile made sure to travel with the customer like an in-house tech partner who understood their business needs end to end and converted them to a user-friendly application.
