Case Study

E-Commerce Listing & Catalog

Project Background

Listernaut was founded in 2022 to revolutionize the warehouse cataloging and ecommerce connection industry by providing the fastest listing & cataloging software available on the market. This platform would give Listernaut's partner company, Rocket Auctions, a competitive edge in listing speed compared to their competitors.

The Challenge

Listernaut had developed a prototype software, mainly used for internal use. While the platform was useful and relieved many human resource bottlenecks, it lacked any real monetization strategy or robust user experience that could transform it from an internal tool to an ecommerce product. Most of Listernaut's customer base utilized Shopify as a multi-channel hub, though a growing number of potential customers were purely auction based.

Listernaut sought to target both ecommerce and auction users by providing a robust platform which included:

  • 99%+ site uptime with minimal developer overhead
  • "Scan to List" average time of 30 seconds or less
  • Custom integration strategies to over two dozen auction platforms in addition to Shopify
  • Subscription based data warehouse to enable licenced use of the software
  • Robust Cataloging system tracking over 20 data points per SKU
  • Enterprise grade inventory management solution

The Solution

Skillcape Software LLC completed this project as the primary subcontractor for Cloud Code Systems, a partner SaaS service provider. We provided software architecture, development, project management, and customer relations resources for this project; coordinating our software expertise with their specialization in auction and ecommerce platforms.

With coordinated efforts, we architected and developed a brand new web application build with Microsoft's Blazor WASM and Dot Net Core software stack. The solution is hosted in Azure, exceeding Listernaut's 99% uptime requriement and providing efficient disaster recovery options.

The solution was built with plug and play integrations for 23 unique auction platforms as well as a tightly coupled integration with Shopify for one click launch operations by end users as well as subscription management through Shopify's Billing API.

As a result of this project, Listernaut has become the leader in their industry and continues to grow their service offerings to include AI generated product details, Listing-as-a-Service offerings, and an ever expanding support for new auction and ecommerce platforms.
