B2B Marketplace & Directory Listing Portal
The client is an expanding B2B service marketplace that allows various agencies to promote their services, portfolios, awards, and certifications. It offers businesses the opportunity to find, compare, and contact agencies based on ranked lists of the 50 best companies in each category. The client designed their platform to compete with the top-tier industry portals and provide more flexibility, transparency, and scalability to agencies and end-users
The client asked for a redesign and revamping of the marketplace into a modern, secure, and scalable system that can support thousands of agencies and clients at the same time. The involvement, which is estimated to be 2400 hours, was carried out in 26 weeks.
Its main aim was not just to enhance the technology stack but also to provide a basis for new features, such as CRM integration, gamification, review imports, and video testimonials. This involved transferring a great deal of existing data, enhancing performance, and developing an architecture that would be able to scale with future growth.
The marketplace had to ensure that rankings only showed the best 50 agencies of each category to maintain credibility and authenticity.
AllianceTek designed powerful search and ranking algorithms that were able to give the correct top-50 results. This guaranteed the transparency to the end-users and contributed to making the platform a reliable source of agency discovery.
Agencies needed to have flexible subscription plans like freemium, sponsored, and featured listing, whereas administrators needed to have dynamic billing plans to effectively manage plans.
We incorporated Stripe to enable secure subscription and billing. A flexible system was introduced whereby administrators could easily create or modify subscription plans, and onboarding was easy and user-friendly for agencies.
The platform was built on outdated technologies, making performance, scalability, and data migration major concerns. The transition needed to occur without disrupting existing services.
We rebuilt the platform on .NET Core with AngularJS and SQL Database, hosted on AWS/Azure with CI/CD pipelines. This provided a scalable and high-performance architecture. Thousands of agency profiles, client accounts, and project records were migrated into the new structure, with structured analytics and reporting in place.
Both agencies and clients needed streamlined workflows. Agencies had to manage portfolios, certifications, and awards, while clients required intuitive tools to search, post projects, and filter services.
We created a multi-role platform with portals for admins, agencies, and clients. Agencies gained profile and portfolio management tools, clients could post projects and access curated rankings, and administrators were given dashboards and analytics for oversight.
The client required a future-ready system with flexibility to incorporate new features like CRM integration, video testimonials, and gamification without rebuilding the platform.
We designed a modular architecture with CMS integration for publishing articles, news, and spotlight stories. Phase II planning included reviewing imports, gamified badges, lead marketplace features, and video testimonials, ensuring the platform could grow without technical limitations.
AllianceTek created detailed dashboards to allow admins, agencies, and clients to monitor reviews, leads, and usage.
