About this project
Faras is a mobile multi-vendor platform built for Iraq. It sits between wholesalers and the retail shops that buy from them, replacing phone-and-paper ordering with a single app: the shop owner browses vendor catalogues, places the order, and follows it through to delivery.
The product is not one app but four connected surfaces, in Arabic and English:
- Retail app. The shop owner browses vendor catalogues, orders and tracks delivery.
- Wholesale app. The supplier manages its store, catalogue, pricing and incoming orders.
- Driver app. Order pickup, dispatch and delivery to the retail client.
- Web portal / POS. The wholesaler's back office and counter sales on the web.
Each wholesaler runs its own store inside the platform, its own catalogue, its own pricing, while the platform handles the ordering flow between the two sides. Around that marketplace sits a complete operations stack, all built in-house rather than bolted on:
- Delivery system. Dispatch and tracking of orders out to the retail clients.
- POS system. Counter sales for the vendors themselves.
- Accounting system. Orders, invoices and settlements tied back to the same data.
The platform shipped to app stores with published privacy and account-deletion support, and was live publicly for a period before being taken offline.
