Pet Food, Toys, Gears and more

Overview.

Bonbeno found the shopping experience for pet care products, especially retail, very time consuming and frustrating. Shop A had food but no accessories, Shop B had accessories but no food and Shop C had both food and accessories but not the brand they wanted. It was, well, a bloated mess. This led to the establishment of Bonbeno in 2017, a chain of retail stores stocking all things pet – food, accessories.

Goals.

“We’re not a retail store. We’re a brand. We believe our responsibility doesn’t just ends at selling quality stuff at unbeatable prices. We’re more than that. We’re a service provider. We consider it our responsibility to make people more informed on how to take care of their pets and provide them an easy and affordable way to do it i.e. shopping at Bonbeno The Pawsome Store. We’ve plans for aggressive nationwide expansion in the next couple of years so watch out for a Bonbeno store near you soon!”

Challenges.

BonBeno wanted to build a feature rich website and mobile cross-platform applications to connect franchise including small startups to big companies directly to consumers by offering attractive deals which will ultimately increase the buying power as well as the selling power. The company wanted to give all the features and functionalities related to E-commerce i.e. generating coupons, coupon redemption, wallets etc. The important thing was that the website, Android and iOS applications were not just destined for the local area but ultimately envisioned and designed as working prototypes for an international audience that could be implemented across the world. Major challenges to develop BonBeno website and mobile apps could be summarised as under:

• BonBeno website has to use paid Magento themes and plugins. The challenge was to use them perfectly and use their maximum features.
• To create lots of API data to be used in Magento site and use it appropriately.
• To manage huge collection of database of customers which the users can access to save their time and money as they search for products or deals at different places.
• To make the products easily accessible to the shops and the customers.
• To manage the Wallets generated and manage appropriate commissions.
• To create such an integrated website and mobile app platform which can work in sync and the shopkeepers and the users can use them smoothly and flawlessly.

We are a Shopify and Magento ecommerce development partner. After considering, multiple platforms and frameworks we opted to use Magento hosted platform. Magento provides powerful integrations, API access, and security features satisfying all the requirements.
