- Context
- Wholesale traders and importers needed a unified way to discover local products and products from suppliers in China, compare units, minimum quantities, and wholesale prices, calculate merchandise, operational, shipping, and customs costs, and follow each order. Operations teams also needed a central system for catalogs, suppliers, customers, orders, and continuous external product-data updates.
- Intended users
- Wholesale traders, importers, retailers, and businesses sourcing local products or products from suppliers in China, together with catalog, procurement, sales, customer-service, order-management, and operations teams.
- Constraints
- The platform had to handle large and frequently changing supplier catalogs and synchronize categories, products, details, and images without duplication or partially hydrated records. It also had to reconcile different product sources, purchasing units, minimum quantities, stock, currencies, and exchange rates; separate carts and orders by source; calculate operational surcharges, shipping, and customs; maintain consistent order states and granular permissions; and provide responsive Arabic, English, and RTL experiences.
- The Drix contribution
- The Drix engineered and developed the A to Z platform across its full stack: the commerce storefront, backend and APIs, product, order, and pricing models, customer accounts and authentication, the administration dashboard, permissions, reporting, and the external supplier integration. The work also included scheduled synchronization for categories, base product data, full details, and images, along with testing, user-experience refinement, and build and deployment automation.
- Launch status
- Live through its public website, including the bilingual wholesale storefront, backend, operations dashboard, and supplier synchronization system, with ongoing catalog, ordering, maintenance, and user-experience improvements.
- Qualitative outcome
- A to Z brings local inventory and external supplier products into one discovery and purchasing experience, connecting search, filtering, quantities, wholesale pricing, carts, orders, shipping, and customs costs to a centralized operational workflow. Operations teams gain unified tools for catalogs, suppliers, customers, orders, permissions, and reporting instead of managing those activities through disconnected processes.
