Cada vez son máis os consumidores que optan por comprar bens a través de Internet. Derivado deste comportamento, as empresas deben adaptarse ás esixencias da nova realidade, para lograr un oco no mercado e manter a súa competitividade.

Para acadar os obxectivos anteriormente mencionados, implantouse unha aplicación web baseada nunha arquitectura en capas, seguindo concretamente o modelo cliente-servidor, destacando o uso de Java, Spring Boot e Hibernate para o lado do back-end e JavaScript, React eRedux para o front-end.
