One-Line Outcome

Transformed a paper-based seafood trading system into a digital platform, accelerating onboarding speed by 3x and enabling real-time auction tracking across 4 port cities.

The Challenge

The client, a B2B seafood logistics and marketplace operator, relied heavily on manual records and in-person auctions. This caused delays, pricing disputes, and poor inventory visibility. Their buyers and suppliers needed a digital platform — fast — without compromising on regional usability or reliability in low-network zones.

The Strategy

Foundry deployed a web-first product team using:

• React + Tailwind UI for responsive, mobile-friendly buyer/seller dashboards
• Python Django for robust backend logic and multi-user role separation
• PostgreSQL for order-level traceability and cold-chain tracking

Our Product-Led Engineering approach focused on rapid feature validation with real users, not just code delivery.

Execution

• Designed multilingual UI for Tamil, Telugu, Hindi-speaking user base
• Built 4 core modules: Auction Engine, Order Management, Buyer Wallet, and Port Price Analytics
• Integrated with third-party SMS alerts + offline sync options
• Used Supabase for real-time updates and Firebase for authentication

Results

• Onboarding reduced from 2 weeks to 5 days per supplier
• 87% user adoption in pilot phase
• 60% fewer disputes on pricing and delivery errors
• ~23% reduction in buyer response time via real-time bidding interface
