Project Summary

Sombra remediated a previously poorly built backend, built databases, and expanded architecture to support API integrations and scrapers for multiple marketplaces. The vendor's small core team (three members) supports ongoing integrations, reporting, and performance improvements; the client values their adaptability and responsiveness. The engagement has supported growth and scale for the client's ecommerce business.

Key Challenges

  • Recover from a previous poor development engagement and messy backend
  • Improve backend operations, performance, and scraping reliability
  • Build databases and robust API integrations for multiple marketplaces and vendor-specific tweaks

Project Deliverables

  • Databases
  • Web scrapers
  • API integrations with marketplaces (Amazon, Sears, Walmart)
  • Improved application performance
  • Vendor product inventory integrations

Project Solution

Sombra was engaged to fix an existing messy backend, build multiple databases, implement web scrapers, and create API integrations for various marketplaces (Amazon, Sears, Walmart). They improved application speed and built integrations to import vendor product inventory with custom tweaks per vendor. The client uses Jenkins and GitHub for CI/deployments and Asana/Skype for coordination; the delivery team consists of three core members supported by founder/CTO oversight.

Project Outcome

  • Each integrated vendor generated new sales after inclusion
  • The platform enabled company growth and scaling to eight-figure yearly sales
  • Improved integrations and operational stability that supported ongoing vendor onboarding
