Classified: A SharePoint-Based Solution for Secure Internal Buying & Selling
Our client, a prominent organization with a large workforce, faced a unique challenge: the need for an internal platform where employees could buy and sell products securely within the company’s SharePoint environment. The goal was to create a seamless, user-friendly solution that could foster employee interaction and enhance workplace engagement through a custom-built platform.
Technology: – SharePoint, SharePoint Framework SPFX
Country:- USA
Challenges
The client approached us with specific challenges:
- Lack of a Centralized Platform: Employees were using external platforms or informal methods to buy and sell products, leading to privacy concerns and inefficiencies.
- Security and Compliance: Ensuring that all transactions were secure and compliant with company policies was a top priority. The client needed a system that would allow for strict oversight and control.
- User Engagement: The existing methods needed more engagement features, making it difficult for employees to find, sell, or share products effectively.
- User Experience: Any solution implemented had to be intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring high adoption rates without requiring extensive training or support.

To address these challenges, we developed Classified, a custom SharePoint-based application designed to integrate into the client’s existing SharePoint environment seamlessly. The solution was built using SharePoint web parts, allowing for easy configuration and integration into the site content. Once integrated, employees could access and utilize Classified Application features within their SharePoint environment.
Result
Our Customized Classified Application transformed the way our client’s employees interacted, offering a secure, efficient, and user-friendly platform for internal buying and selling.
