PlumRum
A modern multi-vendor eCommerce platform built for trust, speed, and seamless transactions.
The Challenge
In many online marketplaces, small businesses struggle to gain visibility while users face inconsistent shopping and checkout experiences. Traditional eCommerce solutions often lack real-time order visibility, vendor transparency, and unified wallet integration. PlumRum was built to bridge this gap — a scalable multi-tenant eCommerce system connecting customers, vendors, and payments with precision.
