Mercatrives’ Challenge: Lack of a Digital Platform to Connect Local Businesses with Wider Markets
Mercatrives struggled to promote local commerce without an online marketplace linking local producers and small businesses to customers across Galicia.
To drive economic growth, it needed a user-friendly, multi-vendor platform to showcase local products and enable secure transactions.
Without a digital solution, merchants struggled with limited reach, low product visibility, and outdated sales processes.
After evaluating options, Mercatrives chose Bagisto to develop a scalable, secure, and accessible marketplace for local businesses.
