Dropshipping Ecommerce Platform

Client Profile

The client is a visionary entrepreneur who wants to start investing in the trending online dropshipping/drop-surfing business. The client originally started with a niche product range as a rookie in the field of ecommerce business and now is deeply involved, as he noticed that the internet was growing at a fast rate and so were his audience of loyal customers. The client desired a dropshipping platform where users could empower the online platforms to dropship products to build their own successful businesses.

Business Challenge

The client desired to develop a fully functional drop-shipping portal where thousands of newbie retailers (sellers) could access a global platform with a logic of supply chain management. Using this portal, a seller can set up multiple Shopify stores on a single platform. This platform would enable a multitude of retailers to set up multiple stores. The custom build online drop-surfing portal would allow the users to easily import drop-shipped products into their ecommerce store and ship them directly to your customers – in only a few clicks.

The business model incorporated in this portal will allows its users to run their store(s) without ever holding any inventory. Once the user comes through with a sale, the user’s supplier is notified of the order following an immediate shipment of users (retailer/seller) products from the supplier’s warehouse, straight to the customer’s doorstep. You’ll never need to worry about storing, packaging, or shipping your products.
