Abstract:
As the world is moving towards digitalization and each business is taking the aid of
technology to make their businesses flourish, we’ve developed a system that connects
not only the local sellers to their potential customers but also can be used to market
their products. This project is a web-based shopping system for local sellers as well as
entrepreneurs who need a platform to sell their articles. The goal of the project is to
create an online shopping platform that is easy to use from both perspectives, the
buyer, and the seller. It allows the customers to buy their favourite items from an
already existing credible shop without any fear of getting a wrong or faulty product
through our website. It also facilitates the local vendors to create their shops and reach
many potential customers. This will assist them to sell more and reach a larger
customer base. The shop owners will be running their physical store as well as the
website’s orders, so they will not be lagging in terms of the use of the technology. The
trend of buying from home is increasing rapidly after the pandemic, the customers are
already waiting for credible sources to buy from. Our sellers also have a physical
shops and they are using our services for web presence, which adds to their integrity.
We have our application running at http://www.eplazapk.com/ and we have M&P
courier as the delivery service provider to deliver the purchased products on behalf of
online shops and businesses. Customers can track orders, discounts and coupon
features, customer level system and social media integration. Our system is an effort to
take businesses of our country to the information age ready for internationalization with
businesses able to go worldwide.
