> Performance Optimization: The platform needs to optimize its performance to reduce page load times, enhance responsiveness, and improve overall user experience. This is a continuous challenge, especially as the platform grows and adds more features and data.
> Centralised Product Management System: Implementing a robust Product Information Management (PIM) system to centralise product data. This ensured accurate, consistent, and up-to-date information across all products, enhancing the user experience.

To fortify server security, we introduced a robust firewall, employed a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to conceal the real IP, automatically blocked users exhibiting suspicious behaviour, resembling automated activity, and maintained vigilant, continuous monitoring to ensure the utmost level of security.

> A complete portal: The implementation of these technical solutions resulted in the successful launch and sustained growth of the multi-brand healthcare products shopping portal. Customers benefited from a seamless shopping experience, while suppliers appreciated the efficient supply chain management, leading to increased trust and repeated business. The platform not only met but exceeded regulatory standards, ensuring a safe environment for both buyers and sellers.
