PROJECT OVERVIEW
Polystox is India’s first B2B eCommerce marketplace for polymers, connecting manufacturers, traders, importers, and exporters on a single digital platform.
MY ROLE
UX Designer
COMPANY
The goal was to turn a highly fragmented B2B supply chain into a unified, efficient mobile experience where users can browse materials, negotiate prices, and close deals — all from their phone.
47billion
Buyers and sellers negotiate over unsecured phone calls, with no transparent or efficient way to discover fair prices.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Buyers and sellers in the polymer trade rely on unsecured phone calls to negotiate prices, with no shared visibility into market rates. This makes price discovery slow and inconsistent — buyers can't easily compare offers, and sellers can't gauge real demand. Every deal is negotiated blind, with no transparency or record to back it up.
Polystox is a B2B marketplace platform connecting vendors and buyers through structured bidding, order tracking, and vendor management.
Designed to simplify procurement from KYC verification to bid negotiation to delivery for vendors, buyers, and marketplace admins.
PRODUCT LISTING
Price and quantity are emphasized as primary information. Product detail page content is grouped for easy digestibility, and primary CTAs are similarly emphasized.
ORDER LISTING
Orders are tracked at the shipment level, since a single order is often fulfilled across multiple batches. Each shipment shows its own status and timestamp, giving buyers precise visibility into partial deliveries rather than a single, generalized order status.
BIDDING
Price and quantity are emphasized as the primary information. Product details are grouped into digestible sections, while primary CTAs are given clear visual emphasis. The bidding section provides an overview of the offer and bidding history, giving users the key information they need to confidently make a bidding decision.
Replaced tedious back-and-forth communication with an intuitive counter-offer system, allowing users to instantly finalize volume prices and maximize transaction velocity.
BIDDING
Outcome
Reduced User Friction: Streamlined the negotiation flow, cutting steps to completion.
Increased Conversion: Drove a 4% lift in conversion.
