A B2B Wholesale Platform That Replaced WhatsApp and Spreadsheets

Client Brief

The client ran a thriving vintage fashion wholesale operation serving UK boutique retailers but sourcing was still happening over WhatsApp messages, spreadsheets, and in-person market visits. They needed to scale digitally without losing the personal touch.

Location:

USA

A Scalable business Running On Unscalable Processes

UK boutique retailers were sourcing stock through WhatsApp threads and physical visits a process that could not scale, offered no way to browse remotely, and made order management almost impossible to track. The business was growing faster than its operations could handle.

Browse, Handpick, Order - All in One App

Built a B2B wholesale platform where boutique retailers browse a curated catalogue of 1,500+ vintage and reworked items, place wholesale orders directly, and book live video handpick sessions to select stock before purchase.

From Scope to Launch in 6 Months

01
Discovery & Clinical Workflow Mapping

We mapped the exact doctor-patient workflow consultation to prescription to follow-up to ensure the app reflected how medical professionals actually practice, not a generic approximation.

02
UI/UX Design Sprint

Figma designs focused on clinical clarity large readable type, clear appointment states, and minimal cognitive load during consultations. Reviewed with real medical practitioners before build.

03
React Native Mobile Build

Cross-platform build covering both iOS and Android from a single codebase no performance compromise on either platform. Video consultation layer integrated with a secure real-time protocol.

04
MERN Backend & Data Security

Secure patient data architecture on the MERN stack MongoDB for flexible patient records, Node.js for API performance, with encrypted data handling throughout.
