CHALLENGE
We have developed Prorab, an e-commerce platform specializing in distributing and selling products for the DIY (do-it-yourself) segment. Prorab offers a user-friendly online store with a convenient interface. Customers can enjoy various features such as the option to request a consultant’s call, round-the-clock online support, and the ability to create a personal account to track their order history and current purchases.
Additionally, Prorab is powered by a custom-built engine that utilizes web scraping technology to gather pricing information from open sources. This allows the platform to automatically update product data based on information received from suppliers. As a result, customers can trust that the prices displayed on Prorab are accurate and up-to-date, ensuring a seamless shopping experience.
*The product was developed by the Ukrainian division of Ontario.Marketing – Owlab.
