ForgeRetail
A full-stack SaaS platform for electronics shop management & marketplace with multi-role auth, real-time chat, POS, inventory with barcode scanning, and cross-platform PWA + Android/iOS apps.
01. Client Goal
The goal was to build a modern SaaS platform for electronics shops and local sellers to manage products, orders, inventory, and customer interactions in one place. The platform needed to support multiple user roles, real-time marketplace activity, mobile access, and a smooth buying experience for both shop owners and customers.
02. Client Challenge
03. The Turning Point
“Instead of treating it as a simple website build, I approached it as a full product system. I redesigned the solution around a scalable Next.js architecture, Supabase backend, and modular workflows so the platform could support both marketplace sales and internal shop operations efficiently.”
04. The Process
Platform Architecture
Built a modern Next.js 15 application with SSR, reusable components, and role-based routing for multi-role access (Admin, Owner, Customer, Affiliate).
Marketplace & Shop Management
Created flows for product listing, shop profiles, orders, demands, and customer interactions with real-time marketplace activity.
Inventory & Sales System
Implemented stock tracking, barcode scanning, packaging units, snapshots, and sales dashboards with Recharts visualizations.
Real-Time Features
Added live chat, push notifications, order tracking, and dynamic updates across the platform using Supabase real-time.
Cross-Platform Support
Prepared the platform for PWA use and Capacitor-based Android/iOS native app deployment.
Backend Optimization
Used 45+ Supabase migrations, RLS policies, RPC functions, and query optimization for security and scalability.
