The Customer
Multi-vendor eCommerce
About The Customer
The client is an entrepreneur who recognized the growing demand for multi-vendor marketplaces. Seeing the significant revenue opportunities such platforms offer, the client decided to transition from running an online store to developing a multi-vendor marketplace. The client envisioned a platform that would support multiple vendors selling a wide variety of products through a single storefront. The client also wanted to provide features that would assist buyers in making their purchases, such as product comparison and wish list creation. The client also wanted the platform to support premium listing advertisements.
The Challenge
The client aimed to create a multi-vendor eCommerce platform that would allow multiple vendors to sell a wide range of products, from electronic gadgets to beauty products, through a single storefront. The platform needed to provide personalized panels for each vendor, enabling them to post their products and maintain their records privately. The client also wanted to streamline the product management and listing process for vendors. Additionally, the platform was to offer features to assist buyers, such as the ability to compare products from different vendors and create a wish list. The client also wanted the platform to support the running of multiple advertisements through premium listing. The challenge was to convert these requirements into a fully-functional, technologically advanced multi-vendor eCommerce platform.
The Solution
TechAvidus was chosen for the development of the multi-vendor eCommerce platform. The team leveraged the latest technology to create a scalable and accessible platform. The platform was designed to allow the client to have as many products and categories as desired. A multidisciplinary e-commerce product development team developed a store that could be fully controlled by a super admin, from managing vendors and orders to payouts and premium listings. The platform was designed to ensure that independent vendors could operate their store with ease. To cater to the needs of the buyers, the system was designed to allow product comparison to ensure the best price. Additionally, buyers could create a wish list and make purchases through online payment.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.

Ensures Cold Milk in Your Supermarket
As of 2014, AK-Centralen has over 1,500 Danish supermarkets equipped, and utilizes 16 operators, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AK-Centralen needed the ability to monitor the cooling alarms from around the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each and every time the door to a milk cooler or a freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in southwestern Odense. This type of alarm will go off approximately 140,000 times per year, equating to roughly 400 alarms in a 24-hour period. Should an alarm go off, then there is only a limited amount of time to act before dairy products or frozen pizza must be disposed of, and this type of waste can quickly start to cost a supermarket a great deal of money.
Case Study
Supermarket Energy Savings
The client had previously deployed a one-meter-per-store monitoring program. Given the manner in which energy consumption changes with external temperature, hour of the day, day of week and month of year, a single meter solution lacked the ability to detect the difference between a true problem and a changing store environment. Most importantly, a single meter solution could never identify root cause of energy consumption changes. This approach never reduced the number of truck-rolls or man-hours required to find and resolve issues.
