Challenge
Materials Market is a new tech startup that offers a marketplace to connect DIY or small builders with construction materials providers. Its founders saw an opportunity to disrupt the building materials industry but needed technical expertise to build their MVP.
Solution
The team at Purr worked with the client to refine designs and the project spec, including a series of in-house discovery days. An MVP of the platform was built on Ruby on Rails that would allow for demonstrations to potential suppliers and investors, integrating with Stripe for payments that distributed the funds between vendor and platform. We proceeded to develop new features such as a custom-built customer service platform and integrating with their accounting system via Xero.
Results
Materials Market launched in October 2020 and we will continue providing support and tech consultancy as the platform evolves.
