Using AI and Cryptocurrency, SpottR will change global retail commerce… forever — by Benjamin Dada Blog
SpottR is an eCommerce platform that uses artificial intelligence to help people find items they need in less than 2 minutes.
Bridging the gap between demand and supply is a central theme for most organizations. However, this “gap” means different things to different classes of customers. Product visibility, delivery, limited disposable income, etc., are all gaps that prevent demand from meeting supply.
SpottR attempts to solve this demand-and-supply gap by creating a seamless commerce process for stakeholders.
“SpottR is like eCommerce on google maps. We want people to be able to find any item they want within two minutes of thinking about it.”
SpottR achieves this lofty goal by a mix of geolocation and artificial intelligence. Vendors can sign up with their business name and list products within their inventory. The onboarding process takes less than 2 minutes. Vendors need to provide their basic contact info like email or phone number and verify the same, after which they are ready to start selling.
Customers looking for the products on SpottR are shown results based on their interest and location. For instance, if you searched for a Samsung mobile phone on SpottR, the closest mobile phone retailers with Samsung phones will appear highest on the results list.
The product also allows customers to find location or time-bound deals on items they have indicated an interest in. If a wine-lover is in the vicinity of a wine company having a sale, SpottR alerts the individual about the deal. This allows customers to get the best bang for their buck by taking advantage of those offers. The internal recommendation system also helps users discover products they might be interested in.
SpottR helps with fulfilling these orders through third-party logistics integrations. The company is building the biggest library of third-party fulfilment companies. Benjamindada.com has reliable intel that talks have commenced for a partnership with Kwik Delivery, a Lagos-based last-mile delivery company.
SpottR is not just for finding items, though. People can also create tasks with rewards similar to Fiverr, Upwork, and other freelance/gig websites. Every day SpottR users can complete these tasks to earn the rewards.
An escrow system protects all transactions on SpottR. Thus, guaranteeing the interests of all users on the platform.
