A manufacturer sells to wholesale buyers through regular auctions. Lots are prepared by hand, results are tallied in spreadsheets, and buyers have no account. The company needs a platform that takes lots from the ERP, runs the auction and sends the results back.
Lot preparation from 1C:ERP, auction setup, and real-time bidding with bid updates in 2 seconds or less. Buyers get their own account, and a sales manager can bid on a client's behalf. After the auction the platform plans shipping and produces protocols and reports.
The role model covers six user groups, including internal buyers who see bids and volumes only in part. The ERP exchange runs over REST API and message queues, and Excel import and export work even without the integration.
The platform handles 500 concurrent users and scales to 2,000. Availability is 99.8% a year, recovery after a failure takes up to 2 hours, and transaction logs are backed up every 15 minutes. An AI assistant in the buyer account is available as an option.
An MVP with bidding and buyer accounts is ready in 5 weeks. Full functionality, integrations and production launch take 5 to 6 months.
MVP from 1.2M RUB, full version from 3.5M RUB. Support from 200,000 RUB a year. VAT exempt (Skolkovo resident).
