VantyGo: the local-commerce platform we build and run

What VantyGo is, and who it is for

VantyGo is a local-commerce platform for every kind of local business in the Galilee: restaurants and food, shops, and service businesses that take appointments. Customers find a business, order or book, and follow the result. Businesses receive orders and appointments without a phone ringing.

It is VantyRex's own product, not a client project. Nothing about it is a demo or a mock-up. Open vantygo.co.il and see.

The idea

One platform. Every local business gets its own store, its own identity and full control.

Behind every store runs the same engine: ordering, booking, delivery and errands, agreements, finance, four apps and three languages. No single local business could build that alone. On VantyGo, none has to.

Customers get one place for their whole town. Businesses keep everything that makes them different. VantyRex builds it, runs it and owns the ground it stands on.

The problem we started from

Most businesses we talk to in the Galilee are not short of customers. They are short of a simple way for those customers to order or book. Orders arrive by phone call and WhatsApp thread. Appointments live in a notebook. The owner is the system.

So we built the system. Each business gets its own storefront, its own catalogue and its own calendar, and the order or the appointment reaches the right person on its own. Then we kept running it, because running it teaches what a one-off project never will.

What customers and businesses get

Customers browse businesses, search and filter, fill a cart and check out with the delivery options the business offers. After ordering they follow a delivery on a live map instead of calling to ask. For service businesses, they pick an appointment.

Businesses get a dashboard where orders arrive, a calendar for appointments, and a studio that shapes the storefront so it looks like the business and not like a template. Behind it, a back office lets our staff handle orders across the platform and step in when something needs a human.

All of it works in Hebrew, Arabic and English, laid out right to left for Hebrew and Arabic.

Your store, your rules

Every vendor has 100% control over its own store: its branding, its catalogue, its layout, its prices and how it presents itself.

VantyGo never locks a store in. It never holds a store back from improving and growing.

Each store sets its own delivery range in kilometres, from the default up to hundreds of km. If another town falls inside that range, the store shows up there too, and the customer sees the distance-based delivery fee in the cart before paying. No ceiling on what a business can build on VantyGo.

And the platform keeps improving underneath every store, so every business stands on a stronger base over time.

A category engine, not a template

Every category gets its own storefront design, layout and identity. So does every sub-category. A restaurant does not look like a clothing shop, and neither looks like a clinic.

Many template families and premium layouts sit behind that engine, so each kind of business opens with a store that fits it from the first day.

Every kind of business

33 business types. 324 sub-categories. One platform.

Food: restaurants and fine dining, cafes, sweets and bakeries, bars and nightlife. Retail: grocery and supermarkets, pharmacy, electronics, building materials and hardware, automotive, fashion, beauty, flowers and gifts, pet and baby, furniture and home, sports, books and games, wholesale, garden, office supplies and more. Services: home and property, professional, education, entertainment, financial, real estate, media and creative, fitness, health specialists, culture and attractions.

Each type is prepared before its first customer arrives: its own storefront family, its own layout, its own identity in colour, icon and wording, and the right flow. A restaurant opens with a menu and ordering. A salon opens with appointments. A tutor opens with enrolment. A gas station opens as a forecourt market, not a parts catalogue.

Ordering, booking or both. Shopping-cart ordering, appointment booking, and request flows for quotes, reservations, enrolment, tickets and inquiries are set per category and sub-category, so a business never bends itself around the wrong flow. The leading types also ship with bespoke premium layouts.

What every vendor gets

Every store opens with a full toolbox. No add-ons to hunt for.

Run the store: a dashboard with the store's status and quick links to the tools each seat may use. A live order board with order alerts, so no order waits unseen. Opening hours, dated closures, prep time and a busy mode, in the store's hands, plus an hours override for when a store serves outside its set hours. An activity log of what changed and when, a self-serve setup guide, a daily briefing and a restock list. Service requests, notifications, an ideas box and direct support.

Sell: a catalogue editor with options and modifiers for every item. A booking calendar with staff, for businesses that take appointments. Services and showcase tabs for service businesses, and handling of quote and price requests and pre-orders. Fuel prices for gas stations. A delivery range in km, set by the store, with its own couriers or the platform's.

Brand and storefront: a brand studio with colours, fonts, images and a gallery of store layouts. Display and media settings, a live storefront preview that shows what customers see, readiness checks for the storefront and its layout, and a visibility control to show or hide the store.

Get found: discovery settings that shape how the store is found, a FAQ composer for the store page, service-area towns, verification and a trust section, and a brand boost growth kit.

Marketing: promotions, ads, coupons, announcements and invites, with a marketing performance view. A QR code generator with styled codes, a landing page builder, exports and scan analytics, plus a printable QR storefront kit for counters, packaging and flyers.

Team: staff seats with invitations, PINs and devices, plus a time clock and payroll view.

Money: reports, finance documents, charges and a finance page, and payment settings.

Account and security: passkey sign-in, change password, session management for the devices signed in, and digital agreement signing built in.

A large multi-app commerce platform, on our own ground

Four apps share one system: customers, vendors (a portal with a live order board and a brand studio), couriers, and staff and back office.

Delivery and errands are built in: courier dispatch and custom errand dispatch. A vendor agreements engine handles digital agreements with automated compliance checks. A finance spine covers vendor billing, reconciliation and refunds.

Payout and card rails are engineered and in testing. Card payments are in sandbox, not live.

Underneath: one codebase for web, iOS and Android, a serverless backend on infrastructure we build and operate ourselves on AWS, alarms and monitoring, Hebrew, Arabic and English with full right-to-left, and prerendered pages per language for search and AI engines.

This is the standard we hold your project to. We publish no vendor, user or order numbers, and we will not invent any.

What we engineered

One React + TypeScript codebase for web and for the iOS and Android builds, instead of three separate implementations of every screen.

Vendor onboarding, per-vendor catalogues and order routing built as separate parts, so a change to one does not break the others. Booking for service businesses is another route, not a special case.

Queues and events on the backend, so a slow step cannot break checkout and a failed step can be retried without the customer ordering again.

Hebrew, Arabic and English with right-to-left layout from day one, treated as architecture and not as a translation task at the end.

What it proves for your project

If you want an ordering or booking system, the hard parts are not theory to us. A platform that runs entirely on its own ground, with no rented marketplace or website builder underneath. Many businesses on one platform, each with its own look. Orders that reach the right person. Right-to-left screens. A dashboard a busy owner can use at noon. We have shipped these and we operate them in VantyGo. The same engineering goes into your system, with your branding, your languages and your rules.

It also shows our limits honestly. If your project needs a native app in the stores or live card payments on day one, we scope that as an explicit line in the written quote instead of assuming it.

The facts, stated plainly

Live: yes, on the web at vantygo.co.il.

Mobile apps: iOS and Android builds exist and are in testing. They are not in the App Store or Google Play.

Card payments: in sandbox. They are being tested and are not live, so we do not describe VantyGo as taking live card payments.

We do not publish sales, order or user numbers here, and we will not invent any.
