Project Scope

CDON maintained a large technical team on their side, which was strengthened by several Forbytes backend developers. Both teams focused on providing support to the CDON platform, as well as building and implementing new e-commerce software solutions.

Our task was to improve the platform’s features that affect the client journey. We integrated a product recommendation system into CDON that collects data on the past experience of a user.

Based on the data from previous sessions, a user gets personalized product recommendations, which increases the total order value per user and helps them find the needed products quickly and effortlessly.

We helped CDON attract more merchants by building functionality for product import, update, and management. Besides, we needed to make sure that back-office operations function well.

To ensure a flawless manager experience, we added the feature of order handling, integrated digital signature for business automation, and streamlined the procedure that managers need to go through to partner with new merchants.
