Even though the e-commerce industry was at full bloom, the machinery industry didn’t have a unified digital space that allows buyers to have options on prices, delivery assurance or service contacts. The reason being there were not many vendors who would take up the load of transporting machinery, provide installation and services. Cartoon Mango worked towards establishing a platform for Machine ‘n’ Motors, that bridges the gap between high-end machine vendors from across the country and the vast customers in the country. This platform was built to empower vendors with robust solutions to manage everything from orders to payments and commission.

The application needed to be user-friendly and provide a seamless experience for users. Cartoon Mango had to design an intuitive user interface that would engage users and make it easy for them to access and buy the items they wanted.

The machinery industry lacked a centralized digital space that allowed buyers to compare prices, guarantee delivery, and contact service providers despite the booming e-commerce industry. There were few vendors capable of transporting, installing, and servicing machinery.

Cartoon Mango took the following approach to address the challenges faced during the development of the digital platform:

User-Centric Design:
The team focused on designing a user-friendly interface that made it easy for buyers to access and purchase high-end machinery manufactured across India. They conducted user testing to ensure that the platform was intuitive and easy to use, with effective communication of complex data insights.

Cartoon Mango provided a robust back-end management system that allowed vendors to manage their product catalog, orders, invoices, shipping, payments, and commissions. They used Agile methodologies to ensure regular collaboration and feedback from vendors to develop a system that meets their requirements.

Real-Time Data Processing:
The platform's success depended on its ability to provide real-time data processing capabilities to analyze data streams and provide insights to stakeholders. Cartoon Mango used advanced data processing techniques to handle large amounts of data in real-time, ensuring that the platform could provide insights to stakeholders in real-time.

Scalability:
The team developed the platform with scalability in mind, ensuring that it could handle large amounts of data as the number of buyers and vendors increased. They used cloud-based solutions to handle the platform's scalability needs.

Integration with Existing Systems:
The platform needed to be integrated with existing systems used by stakeholders in the machinery industry. Cartoon Mango conducted extensive research and development to ensure seamless integration with various systems and data sources.

Overall, the team used a combination of user-centric design, collaboration with vendors, advanced technology, and scalable infrastructure to create a platform that effectively addressed the challenges faced during its development for Machine 'n' Motors.

The impact of the collaboration has been significant. The platform has enabled Machine 'n' Motors to connect vendors with customers across the country, bridging the gap that existed in the machinery industry in India. The versatility of the platform has been one of the most fulfilling steps towards achieving their goal, empowering vendors with robust solutions to manage everything from orders to payments and commission.
