Daffodil Software developed and launched a peer-to-peer e-commerce web platform that enables college students to buy and resell textbooks. The vendor worked remotely with the client's in-house team, contributing development resources and implementing features such as social login and negotiation functionality. The engagement is ongoing and praised for strong QA and organized project management.

Key Challenges
