TheReStone is a specialized B2B marketplace built for the natural and engineered stone industry. The platform connects suppliers, fabricators, quarry owners, machinery vendors, and service providers under a single, centralized digital ecosystem. My role involved deep technical implementation across listings, vendor systems, category architecture, and highly visual marketplace UI components.

The stone industry has traditionally operated offline through catalogs, phone-based negotiations, and fragmented vendor relationships. TheReStone set out to modernize this space by creating a digital hub where businesses could list products, showcase services, explore machinery, and connect directly with customers and suppliers.
I contributed to both front-end architecture and custom marketplace logic, ensuring the platform could support large inventories, interactive location-based search, multi-category vendor onboarding, and smooth user experiences across thousands of listings.
THE STORY
TheReStone was created to solve a real gap in the stone supply chain. Businesses around the world lacked a unified digital space to compare vendors, browse stone types, rent machinery, or discover stone services in their region. This led to inefficient procurement cycles and limited marketplace transparency. My work focused on bringing this vision to life by building a marketplace that feels modern, scalable, and easy to navigate. I implemented directory systems, category components, map-based listing discovery, and product presentation layouts that highlight craftsmanship visually and contextually. The platform needed to support listings from various countries, multiple product formats, and complex taxonomies such as natural stone, machinery, adhesives, and tools. By structuring the data architecture carefully and optimizing UI transitions, the site now provides a smooth browsing experience even with large data volumes.
APPROACH
I began by analyzing how stone suppliers and fabricators categorize their products. This guided the design of a clean, modular layout that visually separates natural stone, artificial stone, machinery, tools, and chemicals. At a technical level, I ensured each listing page can dynamically render vendor information, gallery images, geo-location pins, business hours, and service attributes. I also customized the search and filter flow so users can move between categories, vendors, and regional listings without friction. Integrating the interactive map required optimizing marker clustering, lazy loading, and ensuring listings update based on user interactions instead of full-page reloads. This improved both performance and usability. The result is a platform where users can explore everything from local fabricators to stone accessories in a structured, intuitive, and visually consistent way.
