Challenge

The main challenges for the MStore marketplace are similar to those faced when building digital solutions in any B2B at that has long been used to analog and offline and solutions

Building a marketplace that would enable retailers to get their goods on the best possible terms and help them create the new, online sales channel. Integrating with the CRMs and databases of technology-first distributors while taking into account the needs of smaller retailers who aren’t digitized at all. Creating a bulletproof, friendly, and intuitive interface that encourages everyone to join the digital revolution that has begun for the industry and doesn’t exclude even the least technically-minded retailers.

Lösung

Our approach:

14 interdisciplinary experts introduced us to the FMCG industry to discover the needs of customers and the challenges they face. A 10-week discovery phase led us to create personas and user stories that were later defined as key features in the MStore platform. research, including in-depth interviews with end users and prototype user testing.
Case Study: Adam Opaliński, Senior Business Analyst at Divante
"It took 7,000 hours of work from 12 fearless people to gather the knowledge and in the discovery phase and then turn it into the final version of the solution. The challenge was not to build a Marketplace that would handle 20,000 distributors and 50,000 retailers; it was creating a system that would serve them both, as equals. We are one expanded team and we are very proud of what we've achieved."
Adam Opaliński, Senior Business Analyst at Divante
