Agency creates new auction portal for Currys

Specialist development agency Develo had created a B2B auction portal for top FTSE 250 global brand, Currys.

The Develo team has worked alongside the team at Currys to create a fully-bespoke custom system that has been tested and developed to reduce the possibility of manual error and security threats.

Currys approached the agency with a need to migrate their outdated Magento 1 based auction platform for improved security and functional enhancements.

After reviewing available third-party auction extensions for Magento and with nothing being suitable for the project, the team set about building their own custom module.

After a detailed analysis and functional specification of the project, the team designed wireframes and prototypes to fine-tune the user journey, improve the onboarding and registration process of new customers along with modernising the look, feel and accessibility of the portal based on their new brand guidelines.

Develo have now delivered a fully-bespoke system, with the precise features needed by the business to meet their requirements - this has reduced all manual tasks and decreased the possibility of manual errors moving forward.

The site is now supported by the agency 's 24/7 365 enterprise-level support package.

Dominika Miler-Zydek, IT project manager of Currys said: “It was a great experience working with the team and I am continually impressed by the results.

“Having Develo on the team made a huge difference. The unique perspective, expertise and dedication played a crucial role in making this project a success. “
