About the Project

Our client deals in high-quality diamonds for which they wanted to build a seamless web portal for selling diamonds (B2B). We backed to provide an elegant and efficient platform that helps them sell their diamonds faster with a visually appealing effect. We utilized the maximum visual and creative ideas to showcase the client’s diamond collection in various categories and sections. We aimed to deliver their end users a secure online purchasing experience using the best backend tools and technologies.

The Challenges on the B2B Diamond Portal

The Challanges

Our development team encountered a few challenges while building up the robust web platform for Gem B2B diamonds: complex inventory management. Our client dealt with different types and shapes of diamonds, for which maintaining an exclusive stock and inventory was a big question. Apart from that, a few challenges across the development were security, authentication, and payment processing.

The Solution

Our team developed a robust inventory management idea that allowed the client to tag, categorize, and display each gem and diamond separately with detailed specifications. It helped the buyers with an easy search for a specific diamond or gem that they were looking for. We also integrated the most secure and trusted payment gateway for easy and quick payment processing with a multi-tiered security and authentication process.

SolGuruz's Involvement

Here is how our web development team emphasized the UX/UI and the development phase of the B2B gem and diamond portal.

UI/UX Design

Design is the core of any mobile application. Our web development team spent a good time researching and implementing a robust B2B platform design. Also, we conducted usability testing to ensure smooth functioning and navigation of the website. We finally developed an exciting web design format that proves highly affirmative and engaging for online diamond shoppers.

Full-Stack Development

Post-design, our full-stack development team was busy developing the robust web backend by streamlining many diamonds and gems into specific tags and categories. We wanted to deliver clean, efficient, and scalable code that can be easily edited in the future for improvements and upgrades. Finally, we developed a worthwhile product for the online jewelry industry.

Our End-To-End Development Process

We at SolGuruz follow a detailed website development process to deliver excellence. Let's dive deep into the process.

Demand and Ball-Park Quotation Phase

UX/UI Design

Our development team starts settling for the application's core by defining a user-perspective UX/UI interface to attract maximum engagement.

Development and Testing

We follow the agile development process for building a thoughtful and reliable app, followed by rigorous app testing practices to launch a fully functional website.

Deployment

We optimize the software with 100% configuration to launch it in the LIVE market by setting up servers, data management, and other infrastructure components.

Solution We Provided

Here is precisely how the client's B2B gem and diamond portal displayed the different categories of diamonds and gems after getting LIVE. Here are the results from a smooth user registration process to robust backend development.

Security Practices Implemented

There are various aspects of security taken care of. They include Network security, Data security, Cloud Security, Application Security, and Endpoint security.

Data Encryption

Encrypted the data both in transit and at rest by using methods like full disk encryption and Encrypted web connection(HTTP protocol with SSL certificate.

oAuth 2.0

oAUTH2.0 helps prevent maliious attacks orchestrated by unauthorized users and makes sure that system is accessed by only authorized and authenticated users.

AWS Firewall

Configured Firewalls on AWS instances and databases to allow limited access.

Source code obfuscation

Implemented Source code obfuscation practices to make the source-code in unreadable format, and so it would be difficult to temper or reverse engineer the released app’s executable file.

Automated Backup and Rollback

Configured cloud instances to take backup at regular intervals and so a particular version can be rolled back when required automatically.

Tech Stack

We used the following technologies for designing and developing the GEM B2B Diamond Portal website.
