The mobile app we are designing to encourage the distribution of handcrafts by independent artisans is a terrific concept for supporting economic growth in financial collapse economies like Sri Lanka. The app provides clients the ability to buy these items directly from the artisans while offering a platform for artisans to promote their unique and quality handcrafts to a wider audience.
Self-employed artisans and customers comprise the app's two major actors. The app allows artisans to add their advertisements where they may advertise their handmade items with images and descriptions. They can manage their listings effectively since they may change or delete their advertisements whenever they want to. Consumers, on the other hand, may read the app's amazing collection of handcrafted items, check prices, and buy them straight from the artists. Customers may easily contact with the artists using the app to make specific requests, which enables them to produce one-of-a-kind works of art.
This application offers an outstanding platform for independent artisans to interact with customers anywhere in the world without any boundaries or limits. The app contains features like payment gateway integration, a review and rating system, and a message system for simple communication, making it simple to use for both artisans and customers.
Supporting the handicraft industry may normally have a number of beneficial social and economic effects, especially in challenging times. Governments may contribute in economic growth and financial contributions through stimulating entrepreneurship, supporting local artisans, promoting tourism, increasing international commerce, and preserving cultural heritage.
In conclusion, the handcraft selling mobile application is a great initiative to help artisans, especially in economically difficult countries like Sri Lanka, showcase their artistry to a wider audience while giving customers the chance to buy legitimate and one-of-a-kind handcrafted products online from the artisans.
1. Introduction of Project During a financial crisis, efficient grocery management may be extremely valuable in ensuring that people have access to the necessities they require while also eliminating waste and lowering expenses. Here are a few ways that managing your grocery store amid a financial crisis might be helpful.
1) Inventory management-: Grocery businesses can minimize waste and costs while making
sure they have enough of the most important items on hand to meet customer demand by
carefully controlling inventory levels.
2) Efficient supply chain management-:By optimizing their supply chain processes, grocery
stores can ensure that they have a steady supply of essential items, even if there are
disruptions to the supply chain during an economic crisis.
3) Effective demand forecasting-: By accurately forecasting demand for different items,
grocery stores can ensure that they have enough of the right products on hand, while also
avoiding overstocking on items that may not sell as well during an economic crisis.
4) Pricing techniques-: By employing dynamic pricing techniques, grocery stores can vary
their prices in reaction to variations in demand, guaranteeing that they can maintain a
profit while simultaneously providing customers with competitive pricing.
5) Employee safety and training-: During a financial crisis, grocery stores must make sure
that all of their staff members are adequately taught in safety procedures and that they
have the tools and materials they need to protect both themselves and their customers.
6) Supporting the local community-: During an economic crisis, grocery stores can play an
important role in supporting the local community by sourcing products from local
farmers and suppliers, and by donating excess food to food banks and other organizations
that serve those in need.
7) Free delivery -: The transport of goods in the area where this shop is located is free, and
for other areas, an amount will be added to the bill. This is a successful solution to the
current fuel problem
Overall, effective grocery management can help grocery stores to efficiently and effectively meet the needs of their customers during an economic crisis, while also reducing costs and minimizing waste
