Platform & marketplace engineering
A platform is software several kinds of people run their work through — your clients, your vendors, your team — all reading from one source of truth. We engineer these end to end: portals, orders, contracts, billing, notifications, and the automation that ties them together.
What we mean by "platform"
Not a website with a login. A platform serves multiple sides at once: clients who track their projects, vendors who list and fulfil, staff who administer, and owners who see the whole picture. The engineering challenge is making all of them work against the same live data without stepping on each other.
We run this in production ourselves: our contract platform carries agreements from draft to signed PDF, and our client portal serves each client exactly their own projects. Our own local-commerce platform, VantyGo, is live on the web at vantygo.co.il on the same foundations, with mobile apps in testing.
The hard parts — solved once, properly
Every platform hits the same walls: roles and permissions that stay correct as the organisation grows, payments and settlement that reconcile to the agorah, notifications that arrive at the right moment without spamming, and an audit trail that can answer "who changed this and when" years later.
These are exactly the parts a template can't do and a rushed build does badly. We design them first, because everything else on a platform stands on them.
Run it, grow it, keep your brand and data
Platforms live long lives, so operations are part of the design: deployment on AWS with monitoring and alarms, defined SLAs with response-time targets, and documentation your next hire can actually use.
And as with everything we build, your brand, your data and your users are yours, and buying out your platform's source code is an option in the agreement; VantyRex's backend logic and infrastructure stay ours, licensed to you to run it and never handed over.
What it costs and how long it takes
A platform or marketplace typically takes 12 to 20 weeks from signed contract to launch. Starting prices for your market are on the pricing page, and your quote confirms its own timeline.
It starts with a 15-minute call. Within 48 hours you get a fixed written quote, and we build under a signed contract with milestones, so you see progress at each one rather than at the end.
Typical starting prices
Marketplace or platform: from $48,000 (excl. taxes)
Every project still gets its own fixed written quote within 48 hours of the 15-minute call.
FAQ
Can you build a marketplace with vendors and deliveries?
Yes. Vendor onboarding, catalogues, orders, settlement, and delivery tracking are standard marketplace scope for us — our own VantyGo platform, live on the web at vantygo.co.il, runs on exactly this playbook.
Can the platform integrate with tools we already use?
Yes — payments providers, CRMs, accounting, messaging (SMS/WhatsApp/email), and existing databases. Integrations are scoped explicitly in the proposal so nothing is assumed.
What do I pay after launch?
Hosting and any third-party services are paid directly to those providers, or you can choose VantyRex managed care, priced in your quote. Payment-provider fees depend on the provider you choose and are charged to your account with them.
