Problem
Many users struggle to access thorough information about the range of products available, which complicates their ability to make well-informed decisions when placing orders.
Current applications suffer from a lack of intuitive filtering options, resulting in users spending excessive time attempting to refine their preferences based on the available products.
Users encounter challenges in effectively communicating with suppliers and administrators, resulting in delays and misunderstandings throughout the purchasing process.
Users face skepticism and reluctance when it comes to placing trust in the suppliers' app, primarily due to worries about fraudulent listings, misleading product details, and uncertainties regarding transaction security.

Improve order insights by integrating virtual tours, rich multimedia content, comprehensive product details, user-generated content from suppliers, supplier history, and decision-making tools.
Optimize exploration by implementing advanced filters and introducing intuitive customization options, empowering users to efficiently refine their preferences based on products and suppliers.
Incorporate instant messaging for streamlined communication and introduce a ‘Chat’ feature to facilitate direct interaction, minimizing delays and misunderstandings.
Establish trust through rigorous verification procedures. Integrate transparent user reviews to promote authenticity and security, ensuring accurate supplier information.
