CoveHub

Commerce Command for Multi-Vendor Growth

CoveHub — project preview
Project Overview
We engineered CoveHub to serve as the central nervous system for Mira Commerce Collective, a Tier-1 EMEA marketplace operator managing over 3,200 independent brands across fashion, home, and lifestyle. Confronted with severe operational fragmentation—five disconnected seller tools, manual order sheets, and siloed analytics—our team architected a unified operating system to eliminate cognitive friction and accelerate vendor throughput. The mandate required replacing legacy workflows with a single source of truth, delivering decision-ready intelligence to both marketplace administrators and independent sellers.
 
By consolidating catalog synchronization, real-time order orchestration, and automated financial settlements, we transformed a fractured ecosystem into a precision-engineered command layer. The platform operates on an institutional-grade architecture designed for millisecond search across 1.2 million SKUs, ensuring scalability without compromising operational clarity.
 
Key Delivery Objectives:
  • Consolidating fragmented seller portals into a single vendor command center
  • Implementing Elasticsearch-driven catalog search and automated listing workflows
  • Engineering real-time order pipelines with integrated customer communication threads
  • Establishing automated, role-based payout settlements via Stripe Connect
 
The result is a production-ready SaaS ecosystem that grants vendors self-service autonomy while providing executive leadership with transparent, actionable performance metrics.

The Challenge

The Challenge
We diagnosed severe operational bottlenecks across Mira’s existing infrastructure, where disconnected tools forced vendors into manual data entry and fragmented fulfillment workflows. This chronic latency eliminated leadership visibility and eroded vendor confidence. Our intervention systematically mapped these failure points to establish a unified operational baseline.
 
 
Problem Area
Legacy State
Vendor Onboarding
Manual spreadsheets and email approvals
Catalog Management
Duplicate listings across disconnected tools
Order Flow
Delayed CSV exports causing fulfillment errors
Analytics
No unified view of vendor performance

Technical Architecture

Technical Architecture

We engineered a purpose-built stack optimized for high-volume marketplace transactions, deliberately avoiding architectural bloat to ensure sustained performance. The frontend leverages Next.js and TypeScript to deliver a server-rendered, instant-response vendor console, while the API layer runs on Node.js and Express, orchestrating REST endpoints and real-time webhooks for order event propagation. At the data layer, PostgreSQL maintains strict transactional integrity for financial records, complemented by Elasticsearch, which powers millisecond catalog search across 1.2 million SKUs, and Redis manages session state and cart synchronization. Infrastructure is containerized via Docker for consistent deployment pipelines, with AWS S3 handling high-throughput product media storage. Finally, Stripe Connect is deeply integrated to automate marketplace fee collection and seamless vendor payouts, ensuring financial compliance without manual intervention.

Engineering Process

Engineering Process
Our delivery methodology prioritized vendor adoption and system resilience over rapid feature deployment. We calibrated each sprint around a lead strategist framework, ensuring parallel development tracks maintained strict alignment with marketplace operational requirements, security protocols, and flash-sale capacity thresholds. This disciplined approach eliminated deployment risk while preserving architectural flexibility for future scaling.

Product Capabilities

Product Capabilities

We designed CoveHub to function as a complete operational ecosystem, delivering precise control across every critical marketplace workflow. The vendor onboarding module replaces manual approvals with self-service KYC verification, automated storefront provisioning, and intelligent catalog import pipelines. Catalog management is handled through a bulk-upload editor featuring strict variant control and instant Elasticsearch indexing. Order orchestration operates via a unified pipeline that synchronizes status updates automatically and triggers proactive customer notifications. Integrated CRM and support threads are directly anchored to specific orders, eliminating context switching for support agents. Finally, the analytics and payouts engine surfaces real-time GMV dashboards and leverages Stripe Connect for automated, transparent financial settlements, providing both vendors and leadership with immediate performance visibility.

Performance & ROI

Performance & ROI
Post-launch telemetry rigorously validated our architectural decisions against strict operational KPIs and vendor adoption targets. By replacing manual reconciliation workflows with automated pipelines, we eliminated legacy latency, reduced cognitive overhead, and established transparent, data-driven decision frameworks for Mira’s executive leadership and vendor network.

Main Landing Page

Main Landing Page

We engineered the landing experience as an institutional operations console rather than a traditional consumer storefront. The interface prioritizes immediate command over listings, order pipelines, and financial payouts through a rigid, left-rail navigation system and a centralized three-column orchestration board. Our design system enforces cognitive clarity: a Light Theme anchored in Porcelain White and Cloud Mist establishes a clean operational canvas, while Commerce Navy directs primary actions and Verdant Mint signals confirmed transaction states. Ultra-thin matte ceramic panels and precision-chamfered UI elements reduce visual noise, ensuring executives and vendors can parse high-density data without friction. A persistent global search and vendor switcher sit at the top, while live KPI tiles display GMV and conversion metrics in tabular numerals. Hover-lift micro-interactions and translucent acrylic tooltips provide immediate system feedback. This hierarchy transforms complex marketplace data into actionable, decision-ready intelligence for daily operational execution.

How it works

From first call to live in production

A disciplined process that eliminates surprises — fixed scope, weekly visibility, and on-time delivery as standard.

01

Discovery & Architecture

We map your requirements, define the tech stack, database schema, and system architecture before writing a single line of code.

02

Development Sprints

Iterative builds with regular demos. You see progress weekly — no black-box development cycles.

03

QA & Performance Testing

Every feature is tested across browsers and devices. Load testing, security audits, and code review before launch.

04

Deployment & Handover

Clean deployment to your hosting environment with full documentation, training, and 30-day post-launch support.
