Client History

Kambatao aimed to computerize the local trading and service ecosystem by creating a unified platform. This platform enables customers, suppliers, merchants, and professional service providers to connect. The vision was simple. Make it feasible for people to find products, book services, and check offers through an online platform.

There was no unified platform that allowed users to search for piping components, connect with maintenance workers, or search for merchant deals. Businesses also lacked a digital platform to advertise their products and services.

Challenges

The existing system did not fully address key marketplace needs.

Customers struggled to:

  • Search for specific electric or plumbing parts
  • Find nearby service providers quickly
  • Access verified merchant offers and deals

Service providers, suppliers, and merchants faced their own complications:

  • No unified platform to connect with each other
  • Limited visibility to potential customers
  • No digital space to promote ads or special offers

Additionally, the client needed an administrative web portal to handle data, track activity, and generate reports efficiently.

Goals & Objective

The client wanted to build a connected digital marketplace with the following goals:

  • Enable customers to search for nearby handymen and service providers.
  • Enable suppliers, merchants, and service providers to interact within the platform.
  • Provide traders with the ability to publish product ads and promotional deals.
  • Create a management interface for managing users, metadata, and reporting.
  • Ensure effective communication between the mobile app and backend systems.

The objective was to create a reliable, convenient ecosystem that benefits both customers and businesses.

Solutions

Acme One developed a mobile and web based solution using modern frameworks to ensure scalability and performance.

Mobile Application Development

The mobile application was built using the React Native Expo framework. This allowed fast development and consistent performance across devices.

Backend Integration with ASP.NET WebAPI

The app was connected to the backend through ASP.NET WebAPI, ensuring secure and structured data exchange. All user data and marketplace interactions were stored and managed through MS SQL Server.

Location Based Search

Google Maps API was integrated to enable users to search for the nearest handyman or merchant within a defined radius. This improved convenience and response time.

Ad and Offer Management

Traders gained the ability to create and publish ads directly within the app. These ads displayed offers and deals that were clear to customers and other merchants.

Administrative Web Portal

A separate admin portal was developed using ASP.NET MVC and SQL Server. This admin portal provided full clarity into user activity, merchant listings, and platform performance. The dashboard allowed administrators to generate reports and manage metadata easily.

Implementation

The solution was implemented using:

  • React Native for cross platform mobile development
  • ASP.NET WebAPI for backend services
  • ASP.NET MVC for the administrative portal
  • MS SQL Server for database management
  • Google Maps API for location based features

The system was tested to ensure careful API communication, precise location search results, and secure user verification.
