GreenDeal24: Market Place for Flower Farms
A marketplace that connects flower farms and buyers around the world. It provides easy access to the verified farms where customers can find, preorder, and buy the needed items online.
Customer
A Dutch startupper who purchases and sells flowers and facilitates others in this business.
Background
The client contacted us with a startup idea in mind to develop an online auction place where validated flower farms can have a constant demand for their products at the rates they find acceptable and secure transactions while the buyers can find the best deals during the auction.
Solution
We developed an auction platform where buyers can place a request and farms can apply without seeing the bids of their competitors. This approach makes it more trustworthy for the customers. Preorders and an opportunity of offline orders make this platform more convenient. Moreover, the customer is able to charge a fee from every payment, monitor finances, and provide delivery when necessary. The system also notifies all the users about every change and required actions.
