At a Glance

The Vision

Luxhype Fashion had an ambitious goal: become a one-stop wholesale platform for premium European fashion brands. Instead of retailers dealing with multiple suppliers, each with their own systems, catalogs, and ordering processes — they could access everything through Luxhype.

The challenge? Building a platform that could:

• Pull product catalogs from completely different supplier systems
• Normalize data into a unified, searchable format
• Keep prices and inventory accurate in real-time
• Handle both large bulk orders and individual dropshipping
• Sync everything to their clients' Shopify stores

They needed more than integration. They needed a complete platform built from the ground up.

What We Built

Multi-Supplier Product Aggregation

Fashion suppliers use vastly different systems. Our platform handles any integration type:

Legacy Systems — FTP + SOAP Integration

• Product feeds via FTP
• Order submission via SOAP API
• Batch processing for large catalogs

Modern REST APIs

• Real-time product data via cloud APIs
• Dynamic stock and pricing feeds
• Webhook-based updates

Feed-Based Systems — CSV/XML Imports

• Large catalog updates via structured feeds
• Scheduled sync intervals
• Thousands of SKUs per import

The platform pulls from all sources, normalizes the data, and presents a unified catalog. A buyer searching for "black leather handbag" sees results from all suppliers — presented consistently with standardized sizing, colors, and categories.

Intelligent Product Management

Fashion products are complex. A single dress might come in:

• 8 sizes (XXS to XXL)
• 5 colors
• Different prices per market
• Multiple high-resolution images
• Detailed material and care information

Our system handles this complexity:

Category Intelligence

• 30+ product categories mapped across all suppliers
• Gender-aware categorization
• Keyword-based refinement for edge cases
• Hierarchical category structure (Clothing → Tops → T-Shirts)

Size & Variant Handling

• Standardized size mapping across suppliers
• Color normalization (each supplier names colors differently)
• Variant-level inventory tracking
• Size chart management

Image Processing

• Azure Blob Storage for all product media
• Image optimization and resizing
• Multiple angles per product
• Variant-specific imagery

Dual Order Flow: Bulk + Dropship

Luxhype serves two types of clients with different needs:

Bulk Orders

Large retailers ordering hundreds of items at once:

• Order aggregation across suppliers
• Volume pricing calculations
• Consolidated shipping to single destination
• Bulk invoice generation via ZohoBooks

Dropshipping Orders

Individual orders shipped directly to end customers:

• Per-order supplier allocation
• Direct-to-customer shipping
• Real-time tracking updates
• Individual order management

Both flows are fully automated — from order creation to fulfillment to invoicing.

Vendor Portal for Fulfillment

The warehouse team needed a modern interface to manage fulfillment:

Pending Orders Dashboard

• View all orders awaiting fulfillment
• Filter by supplier, status, date
• Priority indicators for urgent orders

Packing Management

• Box-by-box packing workflow
• Item scanning and verification
• Multi-box shipments
• Packing slip generation

Delivery Integration

Multiple shipping providers integrated:

• iBundle for international shipping
• TopParcel for regional delivery
• ShippingToGo for local fulfillment

Document Management

• Delivery documents
• Commercial invoices
• Packing lists
• Return labels

Shopify Integration App

The final piece: getting products into client stores.

We built a custom Shopify app that syncs the Luxhype catalog to any connected store:

Product Sync

• Create and update products automatically
• Map Luxhype categories to Shopify collections
• Handle all variants and images
• Maintain product relationships

Real-Time Updates

• Price changes reflected within minutes
• Inventory levels always accurate
• New products added automatically
• Discontinued items handled gracefully

Smart Rate Limiting

• Respects Shopify API limits
• Queue-based processing
• Priority handling for urgent updates
• Batch operations for efficiency

Session Tracking

• Monitor sync progress
• Error logging and alerting
• Retry failed operations
• Full audit trail

Technical Excellence

Architecture Principles

• Modular backend architecture with clean separation of concerns
• SPA frontend for responsive, app-like user experience
• Cloud-native infrastructure for scalability and reliability
• Object storage for media assets and large file handling

Security & Authentication

• Token-based authentication with secure session management
• Role-based access control with granular permissions
• Encrypted communication across all endpoints
• Secure credential and secrets management

API Design

• RESTful architecture following industry best practices
• Cursor-based pagination optimized for large datasets
• Consistent error handling with meaningful responses
• Comprehensive API documentation

The Result

Luxhype now operates a fully automated B2B fashion platform:

• Thousands of products from multiple suppliers in one unified catalog
• Real-time inventory that prevents overselling and stockouts
• Automated order flow from purchase to delivery
• Seamless Shopify sync for all connected client stores
• Streamlined fulfillment through the vendor portal

What used to require a team manually managing multiple supplier relationships, spreadsheets, and phone calls — now runs automatically.

Why It Matters

Building a product aggregation platform isn't about connecting APIs. It's about understanding:

• How different suppliers structure their data
• What buyers actually need to find products
• How orders flow through complex fulfillment chains
• Where automation creates real value

Luxhype's platform is the foundation of their business. Every product their clients sell, every order they fulfill — it all flows through the system we built together.
