Custom eCommerce Development: Why Do People Choose This If Wordpress and Wix Exist?

2.14 billion people in the world make purchases on the Internet (a quarter of the population of the planet Earth), 19 transactions per year. 862,000 purchases are made online in 60 seconds. More than 30% of all online transactions are made using mobile devices. And that's not all.

According to Statista in 2021, retail e-commerce sales amounted to approximately 5.2 trillion U.S. dollars worldwide. This figure is forecast to grow by 56 percent over the next few years, reaching about 8.1 trillion dollars by 2026. There are over 26 million eCommerce sites across the entire globe, with more and more being created every single day.

Euromonitor International projects that half of the absolute value growth for the global retail sector over the 2020-2025 period will be digital. That equates to USD1.4 trillion in absolute value growth as more goods are sold online.

The client chose custom eCommerce website development because:

1. The company's employees had their own vision for the design and functionality of B2B eCommerce software.
2. The eCommerce software platform had to include the list of spare parts (original and their analogues) from Tecdoc (Tecalliance) and from the company's internal database.
3. The eCommerce software platform had to include an intuitive search that would allow viewing original products and their analogues, as well as products that are in stock and available for order. The difficulty of implementing this solution was the integration of 2 databases of spare parts (more than 300,000 products), which had different structures and logic. After forming a search request, the system has to instantly display the results that are selected from 2 databases of spare parts.
4. The eCommerce software platform has to quickly process a large number of simultaneous requests to the server and ensure stable operation during critical server loads.

The RexSoft team took into account all the client's requirements and successfully completed the development of the AvtoLider eCommerce software platform. RexSoft implemented a unique design and functionality of the platform and integrated third-party spare parts from two different databases. Intuitive search with improved product selection algorithms allow users to quickly obtain information on original spare parts and their analogues. In the development of custom e-commerce software AvtoLider, the RexSoft team used Node.js technology which allows you to quickly process a large number of simultaneous requests to the server and ensures stable operation of the software during critical server loads.
