Arsaviva — technology that matters Talk to us

E-commerce development

The storefront is the easy part. The hard part is stock, pricing, schemes and orders staying correct across your website, your marketplaces and your warehouse — which is an operations problem, not a design problem. That is the part we build.

The symptoms

Is this you?

  • Your website sells something the warehouse ran out of two days ago.
  • Prices and schemes are updated in three places and one is always wrong.
  • Marketplace orders are downloaded and re-entered into your own system.
  • Your distributors and dealers order by WhatsApp, and somebody types it all in.
  • Online sales do not appear in your accounts until somebody reconciles them.
Scope

What we build

  • Catalogue, variants, bundles and category structure built for search
  • Live inventory sync with your ERP, Tally or warehouse system
  • Pricing, schemes, slabs and customer-specific rates
  • B2B and distributor ordering portals — credit limits, approved price lists, order history
  • Payment gateway, shipping and logistics integration
  • Multi-channel: your site plus marketplaces, with one stock pool
  • Order-to-invoice-to-dispatch flow that posts to your accounts automatically
  • WhatsApp order updates and abandoned-cart recovery

What this is not

This is not a storefront that sits on its own island. If your online orders still have to be re-typed into your own system, the store has moved the work rather than removed it.

Who it’s for

Distributors and manufacturers selling to dealers, brands selling direct, and multi-outlet retailers selling online and offline from the same stock.

What every engagement includes
  • A written scope you approve before any code is written
  • A price agreed against that scope, not discovered later
  • Source code, database, documentation and IP yours on final payment
  • Training for your team, and close support through the first month
FAQ

Questions people ask about this

How do you price a project?

Against a written scope, agreed before any code is written. We do not publish indicative figures, because the same-sounding requirement can differ several times over in cost depending on the specifics.

What drives the number: how many distinct user roles there are, how many screens and reports, how much data has to be migrated from existing systems, how many other systems it must talk to, and whether your process is already documented or has to be worked out first. A first conversation is usually enough for us to tell you the rough order of magnitude.

How long does a project take?

It depends on how much of the system you want live at once, which is why we usually suggest starting with one module rather than everything.

What holds true regardless is the shape of it: you see something working every two weeks from the start of the build. You are never waiting three months to find out the project went wrong in week two.

Who owns the source code?

You do, on final payment. Source code, database, documentation and intellectual property in the work are assigned to you in the contract. There is no licence that expires and no situation in year three where you discover the software is not yours.

We also hand over in a usable state: documented, commented, and written so another developer can pick it up.

Can custom software work alongside Tally or Busy?

Yes, and for most businesses that is the better answer. Your accountant knows Tally, your auditor expects it, and replacing it adds risk for no gain.

We build a two-way integration instead: masters, vouchers, stock and ledgers move between your operations system and Tally automatically, so the entry is made once. The operations software does what Tally was never meant to do, and the accounts stay where everybody expects them.

All questions

Tell us what isn’t working

A first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Bring the problem — the mess of spreadsheets, the report nobody can produce, the process that breaks every month-end. We will tell you honestly whether custom software is the answer, and roughly what it would take. Sometimes the answer is that you do not need us. We will say so.
