Example: e-commerce & multi-vendor marketplace for a e-commerce business in Wrocław
Consider a e-commerce company in Wrocław (electronics, automotive and it). A typical e-commerce & multi-vendor marketplace engagement would start with search & discovery, then logistics, and finish the first release with reviews & trust — usually within 12–20 weeks.
Payments would run through BLIK, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on checkout conversion, stock accuracy and repeat-purchase rate.
Example: e-commerce & multi-vendor marketplace for a gaming business in Szczecin
Consider a gaming company in Szczecin (port logistics and shared services). A typical e-commerce & multi-vendor marketplace engagement would start with mobile apps, then vendor portal, and finish the first release with split payments — usually within 12–20 weeks.
Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on daily active players, retention day 7 and payment success rate.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for a e-commerce & multi-vendor marketplace
Before launch in Poland, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Poland customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Poland.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a e-commerce & multi-vendor marketplace in Poland
For clients in Poland we usually host on Azure Poland Central, Google Cloud Warsaw. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
