Delivery story

Faire: a focused product delivered from discovery to release

01

Challenge

The client needed a focused product for retail buyers and brands. The first release needed wholesale discovery, order placement, and supplier fulfilment, while managing inventory and transaction edge cases.

02

How we built it

We mapped the core journey and data model first, then delivered wholesale discovery as a working vertical slice. The next iteration added order placement and supplier fulfilment, with authentication, validation, loading and failure states designed into each flow. A web-first TypeScript build using Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js kept the interface and service contracts consistent; the final weeks focused on QA, accessibility, and release preparation.

03

Delivery

The delivered 16-week MVP let retail buyers and brands complete the core journey without relying on disconnected tools. It provided a small, maintainable foundation for testing demand and prioritising the next release.

Coralsoft turned the product brief into a maintainable 16-week MVP.

Each constraint, and what we did about it.
