Developed in **2023** for the **Manamperi Group**’s supermarket chain in **Sri Lanka**, this **PrestaShop**-powered e-commerce site at ManamperiFoodCentre.com earned a perfect **5-star customer rating**. Located at No. 245 Old Tangalla Rd, Pallimulla, Matara, the platform supports the group’s expansion from decades as a leading Southern supplier of building materials into modern grocery retail, offering fresh produce, beverages, processed foods, and household essentials.
Our team handled full **data migration** from legacy systems, ensuring seamless inventory sync across physical branches and online. Using **Linode** for robust **web hosting** and top-tier **security** protocols, we optimized for mobile responsiveness with a custom **WordPress**-integrated frontend via **Mobiz International** themes. Key features include intuitive product catalogs for items like rice, cereals, fruits (bananas, pineapples), vegetables, and chemicals; fast checkout; and localized payment gateways for Sri Lankan users.
The development process emphasized user-centric design: wireframing for easy navigation, **SEO** for local searches, and performance tuning for low-bandwidth Sri Lankan networks. **Last updated in 2025**, it now drives higher engagement, with streamlined order fulfillment mirroring the group’s free wholesale transport service. This project boosted online visibility, enabling competitive pricing and broader reach beyond Matara, enhancing customer convenience and sales impact for this family-run staple in Southern Sri Lanka’s retail scene.
