Why certified wholesale companies prefer custom software development for e-commerce in 2024
In 2024, many wholesale companies in Spain opt for custom software development because it allows them to optimize operations, reduce costs, and directly improve the customer experience. According to a recent PwC technology survey, 75% of Spanish SMEs are investing in custom software solutions to stay competitive and quickly adapt to market changes.
Sectors such as startups, wholesale trade, and SaaS companies turn to custom software to cover specific needs that generic platforms do not satisfy. In tech districts like 22@ in Barcelona, several companies have reported significant savings and a notable improvement in customer satisfaction after implementing custom e-commerce platforms, including real cases of cost reductions of up to 40%. In Azca, Madrid's financial district, many wholesale businesses have observed increased revenue growth thanks to solutions designed for their operations.
From selecting the technology stack to integrating artificial intelligence and cloud services, the most common options for e-commerce include combinations such as React + Node.js, Django + PostgreSQL, and Laravel + MySQL for their flexibility and scalability. When compared to SaaS alternatives, tools like HubSpot, Monday.com, SAP, or Asana can be useful but have pricing structures and functional limitations; for example, Salesforce can range around €1.2K-€3.6K per year depending on the configuration.
For wholesale companies, custom application development facilitates optimizing inventory management, automating order processing, and personalizing the customer journey. Industry experts recommend integrating business intelligence modules and dashboards with Power BI to have real-time information and make data-driven decisions.
