With this portal, the global market leader for online auctions offers his main clients, the high turnover dealers, an own information and communication platform.

Objective

The client intended to intensify communication with his main customers, particularly those dealers with the highest turnover, and to offer a standalone portal for that target group.

Features

The portal offers public information regarding special dealer programs, individual sales statistics, and a personalised support area. Furthermore, dealers can apply for participation in Deal of the Day, a program for marketing high volume items. Because of the high number of requests, 100,000 API calls per night can occur quite frequently.

Technology

The portal frontend is supported with eBox. An interface into another news system allows the access of additional current information. The PHP-based backend for calculating sales statistics is connected to the central database of the auction provider within an SOA architecture.

Project Scope

InTradeSys developed the solution for the German site of the online auction provider.
