Challenge

Avant set out to build a curated marketplace for premium lifestyle brands — a thoughtful counterpoint to the everything-stores. They needed everything: vendor onboarding, payouts, two consumer-facing apps, an admin command centre, and the analytics to operate the marketplace itself. From zero.

Approach

We took on the entire platform charter — product strategy, design, engineering, and the first six months of marketplace operations. We built only what was strictly needed for v1 (vendor onboarding, listings, orders, payouts) and deferred everything else.

Solution
  • 01Vendor onboarding with KYC, GST verification, and document vault
  • 02A weekly commission and payout engine with automated reconciliation
  • 03A native iOS and Android buyer app
  • 04A web-based seller portal
  • 05A real-time admin command centre
  • 06A dispute and refund workflow tuned for marketplace dynamics
Outcomes

In year one, Avant onboarded 1,200+ active vendors, processed $8.4M in GMV, and hit a 4.7-star average rating on both app stores. The marketplace continues to grow at 18% MoM as of last quarter.

World-class craft. Boutique attention. Enterprise reliability. A rare combination.
