Project Overview
Nivikart came to Mandy Technologies as a from-scratch build: a new hyperlocal appliances and furniture retailer needing a brand identity, a full Magento storefront, and a delivery model scoped to specific Coimbatore neighbourhoods, all built together rather than assembled from separate vendors. Mandy delivered the complete project end to end, logo and brand identity, UI/UX design, and full Magento development.
The result is a Magento-powered store spanning furniture, TVs & speakers, appliances, kitchen appliances, electricals and utility appliances, currently in beta as Nivikart populates its full product catalogue ahead of public launch.

The Brief: Where Nivikart Was Starting From
Nivikart wasn’t an existing business getting a new website, it was a brand-new retailer that needed to exist from zero: a name, a logo, a visual identity, and a fully functional storefront, before a single product could be listed. That meant every early decision, brand mark, colour system, category structure, carried more weight than it would for an established brand simply refreshing an existing site.
Who Is Nivikart?
Nivikart is a hyperlocal appliances and furniture retailer built around fast, local delivery rather than broad shipping, currently scoped to four specific Coimbatore pincodes. The catalogue spans furniture, TVs and speakers, kitchen appliances, electricals and utility appliances from established brands including Samsung, Haier, Butterfly & so on.
Built Local, Not Generic
Delivery is deliberately scoped to a defined set of Coimbatore pincodes rather than a vague pan-India promise, a hyperlocal model built for fast, reliable fulfilment over broad reach.
A Genuine Multi-Category Appliance Store
Furniture, TVs & speakers, Washing machines, kitchen appliances, electricals and utility appliances sit under one storefront, spanning six distinct category types rather than one narrow niche.
Brand-Name Inventory From Day One
Products from established brands like Samsung, Haier and Butterfly give the new store instant category credibility, rather than launching on unfamiliar private-label stock.
The Goal
A Brand and a Storefront, Built Together From Zero
Nivikart’s brief wasn’t a redesign, it was building a market-ready appliances retailer from a blank page: a logo and identity confident enough to sit credibly next to Samsung and Haier product listings, and a Magento storefront robust enough to handle a genuinely large appliance catalogue, the washing machine category alone already lists 100+ products, from day one.
The Challenge
Making a Brand-New Retailer Look Established on Day One
A shopper comparing two established appliance brands is making a considered purchase, one where trust and credibility play a key role. For such high-consideration purchases, consumers are more likely to choose stores that feel established, reliable, and trustworthy rather than those that appear brand new.. The challenge was designing a brand and storefront confident enough to sit alongside major appliance brands’ own product pages, while the business itself was launching from nothing.
OUR PROCESS
How We Got There
A four-phase process covering brand, catalogue architecture, design and Magento development.
(01)
Brand Identity & Logo Design
Designed Nivikart’s brand mark and visual identity from scratch, before any product or page existed to apply it to.
(02)
Catalogue & Category Architecture
Structured the Magento catalogue across furniture, TV & speakers, appliances, kitchen appliances, electricals and utility appliances, with filtering built for high-volume categories like washing machines (73+ listings and growing).
(03)
UI/UX Design
Designed the full storefront experience: homepage, category browsing with faceted filters (price, brand, colour, energy rating, capacity), and individual product detail pages.
(04)
Magento Development & Beta Launch
Built the full site on Magento and moved it into beta, with the client now populating the live product catalogue ahead of public launch.
The Outcome
Nivikart now has a complete, brand-new retail identity and a Magento storefront built to handle genuine appliance-catalogue scale, currently in beta while the client finishes populating products ahead of public launch.
