It should also be as per the customer\u2019s search preferences and interests.<\/p>\n<p>But the biggest challenge was in the user\u2019s functionality, which was to ignore the listings that already have an offer.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where EvinceDev Retail Solution came to the rescue. It is designed to solve the critical challenges of eCommerce sellers. Plus, its <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/evincedev.com\/robotic-process-automation\">robotic process automation (RPA)<\/a><\/strong> helps automate tedious tasks, enabling sellers to do more in less time. And the same was applicable in Reverb\u2019s case.<\/p>\n<h4>The key features of <a href=\"https:\/\/evincedev.com\/join-us\">EvinceDev<\/a> that were the most relevant to the Reverb\u2019s challenges<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy navigation &amp; attractive, responsive design<\/li>\n<li>Login and sign up with OAuth <a href=\"https:\/\/evincedev.com\/third-party-integration\">3rd party integration<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Make auto-offer by following the certain conditions<\/li>\n<li>Fetch the user\u2019s personal follows via API<\/li>\n<li>Pull the user\u2019s feed, utilizing the endpoint, and then populate the app\u2019s product list<\/li>\n<li>Easy search option based on product list (saved search)<\/li>\n<li>Global toggle\/setting to turn the app on\/off<\/li>\n<li>Trace the data of the offer made by the user<\/li>\n<li>Third-party integration for user\u2019s personal follows<\/li>\n<li>Third-party integration for user\u2019s fee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But how did EvinceDev and Reverb identify the features that can solve the challenges?
