Shopify Ecommerce Development + OMS & Omnichannel Integration for FMCG Brand

We are looking for an experienced Shopify developer or ecommerce development agency to design and develop a professional, premium-looking, mobile-first ecommerce website for our brand, an Indian consumer food brand.

We currently focus on edible oils, with plans to expand into flour, ghee, honey, millets, flour and other everyday food essentials.

The objective is to build a scalable ecommerce platform that integrates our online website, physical retail stores, quick-commerce platforms and other online marketplaces through a centralised Order and Inventory Management System (OMS).

This is not just a website development project. We are looking for someone with a good understanding of D2C ecommerce and omnichannel retail operations.

## 1. Website Design & Development

- Develop a premium, modern and conversion-focused Shopify ecommerce website.
- Create an attractive homepage and intuitive navigation.
- Product listing and individual product detail pages.
- Product categories and multiple pack-size variants.
- About Us, Quality & Safety, Contact Us, FAQs, Shipping Policy, Return Policy and Blog sections.
- Mobile-first responsive design.
- Customer registration, login and order history.
- Shopping cart and secure checkout.
- Customer reviews and ratings.
- WhatsApp integration.
- Discount coupons, promotional offers and product bundles.
- Abandoned cart recovery.

## 2. Payment, Shipping & Logistics

- Indian payment gateway integration supporting UPI, cards, net banking and other relevant methods.
- Cash on Delivery.
- Shipping aggregator integration.
- Pincode-based delivery serviceability.
- Shipping charges and free-delivery threshold configuration.
- Local delivery configuration for Navi Mumbai.
- Capability to expand to pan-India shipping.

## 3. Omnichannel Integration – Critical Requirement

The website must be capable of integrating with a central Order Management System (OMS) and Inventory Management System.

We are evaluating platforms such as EasyEcom and Unicommerce.

The expected integrations include:

- Shopify website.
- Physical retail stores and POS billing.
- Blinkit.
- Swiggy Instamart.
- Amazon and Flipkart.
- Other marketplaces and sales channels.
- Shipping and logistics providers.
- Accounting software such as Tally or Zoho Books.

The OMS should ideally serve as the central source of truth for inventory and order management.

Required capabilities:

- Centralised SKU and product master.
- Multi-location inventory management.
- Two-way inventory synchronisation wherever supported.
- Order import and status synchronisation.
- Stock reservation and channel-wise stock allocation.

- Stock transfers between warehouses and retail outlets.
- Sales and inventory reporting across channels.

The developer must have experience integrating Shopify with third-party OMS platforms through APIs, webhooks or supported connectors.

**Important:** We are not expecting the developer to build a custom OMS. We want integration with an established platform.

## 4. Business and Accounting Requirements

Our operations involve two separate business entities:

- Brand owner and product supply entity.
- Retail operating entity for retail outlets.

The technology architecture should support separate inventory ownership, GST registrations, invoices and accounting records while maintaining a common brand product / SKU master.

This requirement must be discussed with the selected OMS provider before implementation.

## 5. SEO, Marketing & Analytics

- Basic technical and on-page SEO.
- Google Analytics 4.
- Google Search Console.
- Meta Pixel.
