Via Trading

Via Trading needed far more than a catalog. Resellers buy overstock and customer returns at wholesale — by the case, pallet or even the truckload — which means a large, fast-moving inventory, trade-buyer accounts, and pricing that works for serious B2B purchasing. An off-the-shelf cart simply doesn’t bend that far.

The approach

How we built it

We built a custom marketplace on PHP & MySQL so every rule could be modelled exactly: how products are listed, how quantities and units work, how buyers register and price. Owning the whole stack meant the catalog, accounts and checkout actually fit together instead of being bolted on.

What we built

Inside the build

Large searchable catalog

Thousands of lots with fast search and filtering, sold by the unit, case, pallet or truckload.

B2B buying & accounts

Customer registration and login, with pricing and workflows built for reseller purchasing.

Multi-currency pricing

Pricing presented for international resellers, not just a single domestic market.

Events & load center

Supporting tools around the core marketplace that match how the business actually sells.

The result

What it delivers

A flagship wholesale-liquidation platform Via Trading runs day to day — one we continue to maintain and extend as the business grows.
