Essentials is a webapp which provides a platform to manage daily essential services like milk, newspaper, dairy products, poultry, or seafood items.

What it does :

Scope:

Our application will digitize the delivery of daily essential products. The scope of such an online marketplace is huge because every household requires daily essential products, in turn increasing the need for such applications. Convenience and quickness are the most impressive advantages of the system. It also removes the ambiguity in the billing.

Existing System:

• Currently, there is no one-stop combined platform for these services.
• Usually, billing for these daily essential services is done manually.
• Proper record of the delivery of services is not maintained properly by the distributor and customer.

Proposed System:

• Login/Register:
  • The distributors will be able to register their shops/businesses on our application and it will be visible to all our customers living within the area in which the distributor can deliver the products.
  • Customers will be able to sign up/login into our application.
• Automated billing:
  • The bill of the subscription will be generated automatically.
  • The billing will be done weekly/monthly based on the customer’s preference.
• Flexible Subscription:
  • Customers can subscribe to a distributor for any of their products and can schedule the delivery days (can be twice a week/monthly) according to their needs.
• Convenient Modification:
  • Customers can add or remove products a day before their delivery.
  • The distributor will be notified about the change such that they get sufficient time to fulfill the requirements.
• Proper Record:
  • A record of the delivery of services will be maintained for both the customer and distributor in this application.
• ChatBot Feature:
  • The bot will help the users to add and modify their subscriptions.
