Project Summary

Ekreative built a comprehensive online livestock auction platform that includes a web app, iOS app and a custom CRM to manage weekly auctions. The system includes offline assessment capabilities for rural users, digital signatures, video upload and weigh-scale integration. The platform launched successfully and the client praised Ekreative's responsiveness and project management; the engagement has been ongoing since January 2016.

Key Challenges

  • Gap in the market for selling livestock online
  • Only one major existing player in Australia, requiring a competitive platform
