EYatak E-Commerce Management Platform

🎯 Problem and Need

E-commerce businesses had to manually track orders from different platforms and manage shipping processes. This situation caused both time loss and errors.

Main Challenges:

• Manual order tracking from multiple e-commerce platforms
• Difficulty integrating with different shipping companies
• Manual updating of order statuses
• Inability to compare shipping costs
• Lack of bulk operations
• Missing reporting and analytics
