Client & Business Challenges

A renowned U.S.-based football academy needed to expand from a single-channel eCommerce setup to a full-fledged multi-vendor marketplace. Responsible for training aspiring goalkeepers globally, they sold resources, training materials, and branded merchandise—all while relying on an outdated platform that struggled with peak traffic. Manual processes and disjointed content management systems stifled operational agility. The academy needed a flexible solution that allowed diverse vendors to list products, ensured intuitive catalog navigation, and maintained reliable service even during high-traffic events. Furthermore, they required real-time dashboards to oversee all listings, streamline order tracking, and produce actionable customer insights.
