The requirement.
Our client Champerché is an official FoodTech500 urban vertical farming company based in France, that uses an innovative combination of permaculture & hydroponics to grow over 150 species of fruits & vegetables.
This project follows a series of other projects we previously undertook for this client, including the design & development of a farm management system to ensure complete control and automation over the crop cycle, the creation of a custom ERP system to streamline business operations processes across farms, manage inventories, customers, orders & finance, and the creation of a custom website to display their new visual identity.
This project comes as the final step towards achieving a first major milestone for Champerché: to build the first complete software ecosystem from seed to sale, by imagining & developing a geo-local online shopping platform with a dynamic, CMS controlled product catalogue, payment gateway, cart & subscription service for Champerché’s fresh produce.

Solving for Good Health and Well-being and more.

Every project that we take up is aligned to one or more of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

How we did it.

Our mission here was made crystal clear: to create an outstanding, seamless and proprietary e-commerce platform following the design & identity principles we had imagined for their company website. We wanted it to be a natural extension to their growing online ecosystem and we had to provide the simplest, most enjoyable & delightful experience to its clients, suppliers and all the curious minds around.

We also made sure - likewise their website - to imagine this experience across web & mobile platforms and incorporated in a V1 all the major functionalities you can expect from the most advanced grocery delivery platforms.

Point 1

We built a seamless seed-to-sale ecosystem


Point 2

We developed a hyper-local algorithm.


Point 3

We integrated multiple payment gateways.

The impact it had.

By switching strategically to developing its own intellectual property through a proprietary technology, Champerché opened the doors to endless opportunities.

On an immediate & operational level, many factors came into play that made a custom solution necessary for Champerché: having specific shipping & logistics options, special features & prices according to the customers (B2B / B2C) which third-party platforms such as Prestashop do end up restricting you a lot as you scale & overall an experience that Champerché wanted different from the rest of its competitors.

Custom technology allows integrations to other internal & external systems to be made more open & easy. That includes a drastic reduction in security concerns & the possibility to aim for innovative technologies and AI-powered solutions in the future. Laying such groundwork for a scalable ecosystem certainly drew the path for future rich modules such as a native mobile application or a last-mile delivery app.
