Case Study - Price Me Up (PMU)
Vendor Management Portal
Price Me Up (PMU) is a price comparison platform tailored for the building and construction industry. It connects buyers with competitive prices from both large retailers and local suppliers, offering a broader market reach and a fairer playing field for smaller businesses.

- Challenges
The client faced difficulty in creating visibility for smaller, independent construction suppliers who lacked digital infrastructure. Many local vendors didn’t have online catalogs or the tools to showcase their pricing competitively, which made it hard to aggregate their data alongside large retailers.
Additionally, the client struggled with building a system that could handle dynamic price updates, standardize inconsistent product data, and serve both tech-savvy buyers and offline-first sellers. Ensuring that both user groups could interact with the platform effortlessly—without overwhelming smaller suppliers—was a critical challenge from the client’s side.
- Solutions
We designed a vendor-facing interface that enables local construction suppliers to easily upload and manage product listings. The system was built with simplicity and clarity in mind, allowing vendors—many with limited digital experience—to update prices, inventory, and product details effortlessly.
This vendor-side platform forms the operational core of PMU, ensuring accurate and real-time data flows into the customer-facing comparison tool. Our focus was on creating a clean, efficient B2B support system that empowers suppliers and enhances visibility for better customer decision-making.
