01 · The situation

What needed solving.

Fruugo sells products from thousands of retailers to shoppers in dozens of countries, each in their own language and currency. The retailer uploads a catalogue once. Fruugo takes care of translation, pricing, tax, payment and the customer. That means a catalogue pipeline that never sleeps and a storefront that has to feel local everywhere it opens.

02 · What we built

The system underneath.

The full web app: the machinery that turns one catalogue into many local shops.

  • Catalogue ingestion, where a retailer's feed becomes a listing that makes sense in another language and currency
  • The storefront and search across the localised country sites
  • The order and fulfilment flow between the shopper, Fruugo and the retailer
  • The retailer and operations back office behind all of it

03 · What it's like now

How it runs today.

Marketplaces this size are run by their data. Most of the work is making a catalogue, a price and an order correct in every country at once, and keeping them correct when the feeds change under you.
