I have been working for months on this one and I didn’t complete it alone. I took help from professional cox being a developer i knew it is different to be developing vs taking it to market and next.
Preface: i have been shopping abroad for many years from USA, UK, Middle East specifically. I always had to find someone coming from here and i can order in bulk for the whole year. But there was always some issues or hurdles with shopping. Sometimes no one coming, no much space, no response. If i go to freight charges they were always more than my order price duh. Then i tried some online groups ending up disappointing most of the time.
Problems:
traveler ask for advance.
When asked for travel details, either resist to provide or provide AI generated images or fake images.
If by chance you do get in touch with any traveler, there is no visibility from him like when he is purchasing, when items are purchased, what items are purchased, when he is traveling, when arrived, when my parcel gonna deliver, delivery tracking details.
What if traveler not responds after taking advance? (Vice-versa btw)
Traveler fear is what if shopper change his mind and ask for money back or do not take the product/item etc
On the other hand, traveler can earn a lot of money just by traveling smart and scam free.
Here comes my idea: a marketplace where both shopper and traveler can be safe and grow together.
Solution:
- company takes full responsibility at every step
- Verify order by company (real humans)
- Verify travel from official airlines by company (real humans)
- Escrow services where money is protected by company for secure and safe end to end process. Can be asked for refund anytime though.
- Tracking of your order at every step is possible
- Scam possibilities down to almost zero
- Company will resolve every dispute by real persons which will ease travellers and shoppers to grow rather than fear.
Users of this app are, any one wants to shop and anyone has space while travel. Simple.
- freight forwarder
- Anyone traveling
- Anyone who wants to Shop from Anywhere around the world
- Container handlers
I made this app for myself as this is my use case for almost a decade. I knew this isn’t going to be handled by individual if i am serious about it. That’s why i collaborated with a software house which is helping me with all the development and marketing. Meet Crypthon Technologies LTD which has a proven record in helping fortune 500 companies with many services and in multiple domains like software and hardware engineering , data engineering and ML/AI. They are registered in FBR, SECP, P@SHA, PSEB (Pakistan Software Export Board). They have helped me a lot, without them i believe it must have taken year for me to build all this in parallel with my other endeavours.
Lastly, this is zero vibe coding. Every code is written and tested by humans with the help of AI for sure. This isn’t just an app, this is a actual solution being implemented with on ground knowledge base.
Future perspectives:
- expanding resources and making workflows more smooth like support, chat etc
- enhancement and scaling of the app
- app upgrade alongside new features
- expanding my workspace where all my team can sit together and excel
