Searching for any tech equipment in an easy and user—friendly way.
Project Overview
“ BuyJ “ is a mobile e-commerce app that offers users an easy and simple search for any needed product. For those who don’t know, or need advice on what specifications of a product they want, or need, Smart Assistant is a feature that will guide users while choosing the perfect product for their needs and wishes.
Idea
The idea was developed because of the fact of long lines and crowded shops, especially because of people who are not able to leave their homes and go shopping. Users can communicate with Smart Assistant in the same way as communication with staff in shops.
What problems do we need to solve?
There are many different problems that people face when going shopping. These are common ones that we are trying to solve with “ BuyJ “:
* PROBLEM #1
Long waiting lines before checkout; Whether it is grocery, bakery, flower shop or any other shop, people have to wait in line before it’s their turn to pay for the products. Often, these lines are long and the cashier can not proceed with all charges fast.
* PROBLEM #2
It is a common scenario when someone takes the product we want, in front of us, and it is the last one in a shop. If the product is out of stock on “ BuyJ “, users will be notified when it is available again.
* PROBLEM #3
Some individuals can not leave their houses due to health issues, movement ability or any other circumstances. If they want to shop for some product, they need to wait until they recover to seek help.

"How can we ensure that every person goes shopping and has fun while looking for a necessary product?"
