I want to launch a hyper-local grocery marketplace that works seamlessly on both a responsive website and dedicated mobile apps. The core of the platform is real-time inventory visibility for each neighborhood store, so customers only see what is actually on the shelf when they place an order. Shoppers should be able to check out with multiple payment options (card, wallet, UPI, COD, etc.), leave ratings and detailed reviews for every product and vendor, and enjoy an experience that feels as fast and familiar as the major national players—just focused on what’s available around the corner.
Key pieces I need built:
• Customer-facing website and iOS/Android apps sharing a single code-base where practical
• Admin and store dashboards to upload SKUs in bulk, track live stock levels, and manage orders in real time
• Review & rating module tied to verified purchases
• Payment gateway integrations covering the most common local methods
• Robust backend (any modern stack is fine) that can scale city by city and expose clean APIs for the apps and web front end
• Basic analytics so I can monitor order volume, inventory turnover, and customer feedback without extra tools
Acceptance criteria:
1. Products go out of stock automatically once inventory hits zero.
2. Orders flow from customer cart to store dashboard instantly, with status updates pushed to the apps/website.
3. A customer can pay, rate, and review in one continuous journey; reviews show only after payment confirmation.
4. Performance: first page load <2 s on 4G; app launch to home <3 s.
5. Source code, deployment scripts, and minimal documentation handed over so my team can keep iterating.
If you have experience building grocery or hyperlocal delivery solutions and can move quickly on an MVP, let’s talk timelines and tech choices.
