1. Introduction and Project Goals This project aims to develop a versatile and scalable e-commerce web platform that supports a multi-vendor dropshipping model, specifically tailored for businesses offering services. The platform will allow multiple vendors to list, manage, and sell their services online, while streamlining the order fulfillment process. A core focus is to deliver a user-friendly experience for both vendors and customers, fostering seamless transactions and efficient service delivery. The platform's design and user interface (UI) must adhere to specified branding guidelines. In addition to the web platform, the project includes making the platform accessible through a mobile application, leveraging a suitable SaaS provider.

Create a dynamic online marketplace that connects service providers with customers.
Empower businesses to expand their reach and offer services online without the complexities of direct service delivery management in a traditional e-commerce sense.
Provide customers with a centralized platform to discover, compare, and purchase a diverse range of services.
Establish a robust, scalable, and secure platform that can accommodate growth in vendors, service offerings, and user traffic.
Ensure the platform reflects the brand identity, enhancing brand recognition and customer trust.
