We have designed and developed an ecommerce marketplace platform called Beehive Pacific, which is presented by Digicel in Fiji. This platform connects buyers and sellers to buy items online with ease. Here vendors register their businesses online and offer different products to users. On the other hand, users can browse through different categories and choose specific products they want.

Android, iOS, Web
The Beehive Ecommerce marketplace platform is a mobile & web application developed to provide customers with a seamless and user-friendly shopping experience. It offers a wide range of products across various categories, allowing users to browse, search, and purchase items easily. With intuitive navigation, secure payments, and personalized recommendations, Beehive aims to enhance customer satisfaction and simplify online shopping.
It also provides a platform for sellers to showcase and sell their products, helping them to reach a wider audience & grow their business. Moreover, it has a delivery app for seamless product delivery, ensuring a smooth and efficient shopping experience for customers.
Our client Digicel Company wants to create a platform that simplifies the shopping experience and allows buyers and sellers to thrive in a digital marketplace. The primary goal is to create a platform that provides convenience to users for buying products and boosts growth for sellers to sell products. Additionally, the platform ensures the seamless delivery of products through a robust delivery app.
The challenge we faced was transforming the client's idea into a reality while meeting their specific requirements and expectations. Also, collaborating with Digicel Company's team posed a challenge due to their large and hierarchical team structure. Working with such an organization requires effective communication and coordination to ensure smooth project execution. The process involved overcoming technical hurdles and addressing complex functionalities to deliver a seamless user experience. We also encountered difficulty in the integration of a custom payment gateway.
Guru Technolabs designed and developed Abha as a native mobile app for both Android and iOS, giving the client reach across the two major mobile ecosystems from launch. The app combines a familiar swipe-based discovery experience with filters built specifically for a global community, allowing users to search by country, gender, and age range, and pairs that with real-time chat so matches can turn into conversations immediately.
To make the app commercially sustainable, Guru Technolabs also built a tiered subscription model (Abha Plus and Abha Gold) that offers enhanced features, additional Super Likes, profile Boosts, unlimited right swipes, and swipe corrections, giving the client a clear path to revenue beyond the free tier.
Users can log in instantly using their Facebook ID, with the app automatically pulling in their existing data, removing the friction of filling out an entire profile from scratch.
Each profile displays key details such as birth date and profession, giving other users enough context to judge real compatibility before matching.
Users can narrow their search by country, gender, and age range, essential for a community spread across the globe rather than concentrated in one region.
Users browse potential matches using a familiar swipe interface: right to like, left to pass.
When two users swipe right on each other, it results in a Match the core mechanic that turns mutual interest into a connection.
Once matched, users can begin a private conversation immediately, keeping the momentum from "match" to "conversation" without delay.
Users receive real-time alerts for new messages, likes, and matches, so they don't have to keep checking the app manually.
Users can swipe up to Super Like someone, signaling stronger interest; their name displays a star to anyone who receives it. Free users get one Super Like per day; Abha Plus and Gold subscribers get five per day, and anyone can also purchase additional Super Likes individually.
A Boost temporarily pushes a user's profile to the top of match results in their region, giving them roughly 10x more profile views during that window. Boosts can be purchased individually, and Abha Plus/Gold subscribers receive one boost per month included.
Abha Plus and Gold subscribers can swipe right an unlimited number of times, removing the daily swipe limit that free users face.
If a user accidentally swipes left on someone they meant to like, this feature, available to Abha Plus and Gold users, lets them undo that last swipe.
Paid-tier users browse the app without ads, for an uninterrupted experience.
Paid-tier users have the option to hide their age from other users, giving them more control over their profile.
Users can hide their profile entirely, so other members of the platform cannot discover them; useful for anyone who wants to pause visibility without deleting their account.
Users can permanently block anyone they find unwelcome; once blocked, that person cannot be unblocked, ensuring the block is a firm, lasting decision rather than a temporary one.

Abha gave Bahá'ís around the world a dedicated space to connect for friendship, spiritual relationship, and marriage, something the client identified as missing and set out to build. By combining familiar dating-app mechanics with filters and features suited to a globally dispersed community, the platform makes it possible for members to find and connect in ways that generic dating apps weren't designed to support.
A dedicated platform for a specific, globally dispersed community can succeed where generic apps fall short, as long as the filters and features reflect how that community actually searches and connects.
Layering monetization (tiered subscriptions plus one-off purchases) onto core features gives a founder-led idea a sustainable business model without compromising the free-tier experience.
Native development for both iOS and Android ensured performance and platform-appropriate feel weren't sacrificed for speed to market.
