Business Problem

There was no marketplace to buy/sell industrial and technical gases online. Without an online procurement solution, there was no way to manage inventory for multiple locations and suppliers. Customers can’t search for in their location for products and have no detail in digital form with them.

Solution

We built the solution using Spree Commerce as a solution for enabling buyers and sellers to connect at a marketplace for industrial gases.
The application has narrow search options and product filters which enable customers to search by various properties and options like weight, usage, quality, supplier and zip (delivery address) for faceted and free text search.
There was built-in internationalization support for the German language which enables customers to order and the vendor to fulfil them easily.
