This project was originally built during the lockdown for a hackathon to help local businesses sell their products online and connect with delivery personnel efficiently. While it was designed to address immediate challenges, the platform has broader applications beyond the hackathon, making it adaptable for various business models.
During the lockdown, many business owners struggled to sell their products, and many people lost jobs. There was a need for a platform that could:
- Enable businesses to reach local customers online
- Connect delivery personnel for timely order fulfillment
- Help startups and businesses optimize pricing
Our web application empowers businesses to sell online while integrating smart pricing and analytics:
- Business-to-Customer Sales – Businesses can list products online for local customers.
