THE RESULTS
THE BRIEF
Enterprise-grade online shopping platform with full inventory management, payment integration, reporting dashboards, and native mobile apps for customers and admins.
Shop Sphere is a fully custom enterprise e-commerce platform built to handle the complexity of large retail operations — thousands of SKUs, multiple warehouses, dynamic pricing, and high-volume flash sales. It replaces a legacy system that was costing the client significant revenue through slow load times and poor mobile experience. The platform includes a customer storefront, admin portal, inventory management system, and two native mobile apps — all sharing a single backend API.
CHALLENGE / SOLUTION
CHALLENGE 01
Legacy platform took 8–12 seconds to load product pages, causing a 60% bounce rate.
SOLUTION
Rebuilt on Next.js with ISR, CDN caching, and image optimisation — reducing page load to under 0.8 seconds and immediately improving conversion rate by 3×.
CHALLENGE 02
Inventory was tracked in a spreadsheet, causing overselling and stockouts during peak periods.
SOLUTION
Built a real-time inventory engine with row-level locking to prevent overselling, automatic restock alerts, and a multi-warehouse view that the warehouse team can operate via mobile app.
CHALLENGE 03
No mobile presence despite 65% of traffic coming from mobile devices.
SOLUTION
Launched two React Native apps (customer & admin) within the project timeline, sharing 80% of business logic with the web backend — no duplicate development effort.
WHAT WE BUILT
Next.js 14 storefront with server-side rendering and ISR delivering sub-second page loads. Product pages, search, and checkout are optimised for Core Web Vitals — delivering the fast, smooth experience that converts browsers into buyers.
Multi-warehouse inventory system tracking stock levels in real time across locations. Automatic low-stock alerts, purchase order generation, supplier management, and barcode scanning via the admin mobile app.
Stripe-powered checkout supporting cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. PCI-compliant token-based payment processing with subscription billing support, refunds, and dispute management.
Comprehensive admin dashboard with live sales data, revenue trends, product performance, customer LTV, abandoned cart analysis, and inventory forecasting — all exportable to CSV and PDF.
React Native app for iOS and Android with full product browsing, personalised recommendations, saved wishlists, order tracking, and push notifications for offers, dispatch, and delivery updates.
Dedicated admin app for inventory management on the go — scan barcodes, update stock, process refunds, view orders, and communicate with the fulfilment team from anywhere.
