Use-Cases
Whether you're selling products, booking services, or building an ecosystem for an entire industry, we provide you a powerful marketplace foundation to build upon.
Your brand. Thousand of sellers. One storefront.
B2C Commerce
Connect brands, sellers, and consumers one a single platform. We manage the basics like order routing, payment splitting, and vendor payouts handled for you so you can focus on growth your catalogue and audience.
B2B Commerce
Deliver a smarter B2B purchasing experience.
Give business buyers the speed and convenience they expect, with the governance procurement requires. Our B2B suite handles RFQ workflows, quotation management, multi-level approval chains, PO generation, and invoice management - features you can build upon.
Service Booking
Marketplace for expertise, not just products.
Connect service providers with buyers looking for expertise, skills, or time-based engagements. We natively support for bookings, calendar availability and service add-ons so you can focus on growing your business, not managing operations.
Catalogue Directory
Turn discovery into demand, then revenue.
Not every platform needs to transact from day one. Launch a fully searchable catalogue, focused on search and discovery of local or regional businesses, with zero commerce complexity. Build your supplier base and grow your audience first. Activate commerce later.
Extensibility
Designed to integrate, extend and scale.
Enterprise-grade technology. Headless and lightweight architecture built to operate within your existing tech stack, not to replace it.
An API-first platform built with a lightweight core, offering faster performance, lower infrastructure costs, and a cleaner integration surface for your existing ERP, CRM, payments, and logistics stack.
Modular components can be extended or replaced independently so your team moves faster, changes stay isolated, and new capabilities added in without a platform overhaul.
Architecture
Build What Matters. We keep things lean.
Flexible, modularized architecture. Use some of the platform, use all of the platform.
Arcadier is intentionally built with a lean core and an API-first architecture. Our robust APIs allow you to go far beyond core functionalities, enabling custom user experiences, extended features and connectivity to third-party systems.
Lean Core. Modular Extensions.
Start with essential marketplace capabilities and extend workflows only when business needs demand it.
Incremental Innovation with lower risk.
Roll out new features, integrations and capabilities through APIs in phases, reducing transformation risk while maintaining operational continuity.
Cost-effective Flexibility at Scale.
Avoid over-engineering upfront while retaining the ability to support enterprise growth and complexity over time.
A platform developers can trust at scale
For technical teams
Arcadier is not a black box. Whether you are a technology partner, enterprise technical team or an agency building for clients, your team can understand, extend, and build on it with confidence.
Comprehensive documentation for developers
Over 150+ APIs. REST APIs across every platform component, from catalogue, orders, users, commissions, and events all fully documented and accessible from the developer portal. Your engineers stay in control of how data flows and how experiences are composed.
Build your way, without the restrictions
Go headless and build a fully custom frontend, or deploy Arcadier's templates and customise from there. Technology teams can build differentiated solutions without fighting the platform. Enterprise teams get a system that evolves with their architecture, not against it.
Security
A security posture engineered for resilience
Security at Arcadier is a design principle embedded at every layer, not a compliance checkbox applied after the fact. For technical teams, this means cleaner authentication boundaries, predictable access control behaviour, and fewer integration risks from day one.
Validated Isolation
Encryption by default
Your data is protected with the highest industry standards. AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit. SSL certificates are provisioned automatically for all marketplace instances and custom domains.
Our multi-tenant architecture provides strict logical separation. Your marketplace data resides in a secure, dedicated, and isolated environment. Data from one operator is never accessible to or commingled with another.
Authentication & Access Controls
Rigorous access controls including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Single Sign-On (SSO), and granular Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) ensure system access is granted only to verified users on a strict need-to-know basis.
Immutable Backups
Daily encrypted backups protect service continuity and data integrity. Automated, verified, and isolated from primary infrastructure so your data is recoverable and tamper-proof in any scenario.
Granular PII Controls
Personally Identifiable Information is redacted by default. Marketplace operators define granular controls over which roles can view PII, giving you full governance over sensitive buyer and vendor data within your platform.
Continuous Internal Auditing
Regular internal security reviews hold our ways of working to the same standard as our technology. SOC2 and ISO 27001 certification in progress for 2026.
