Technical Evolution
Engagement Layer – The front-end comprises all the channels to reach the users in a digital and physical world. A new addition will be store features and functionality to cater for the coordination and inventory management within and between the points of origin, pick-up / dropoff points, hubs and buyers and sellers. These additions will be created prior to full commercialization as we see the combination of digital and physical capabilities key to success
in phase 2 and 3.
Business Layer – The logical layer comprises key features and functions that connect supply and demand, or buyers and sellers. We will introduce new additions specifically to enhance traffic and transactions between nodes to spur growth through campaigns and expand each business eco-system to invite and connect users. These changes will form part of phase 3.
Integration Layer – The introduction of an open architecture enables the platform the ability to grow and engage with partner platforms expanding eco-systems further into a modern digital world. This will be the focus of our final phase of the development of our platform.
Back-end – The back-end requires the most effort as it incorporates incorporating full functionality on the blockchain, features and functions to enable Order Fulfillment, and establish the Marketplace. We foresee enhancements to the mobile and wearable channels to extend and reach the mobile-only worlds of entrepreneurs in emerging and developing economies.
The Marketplace will cater for a wide range of suppliers. To strengthen ties with and grow transactions within the eco-system, we address minimum required features to include but not limited to the following:-
- Listing of recent or new products and services;
- Listing of popular or most traded products and services;
- Preference matched; and
- Demand curves.
These enhancements will be part of the phases prior to commercialization and to scale and grow the business.
Open Source Platforms – We will introduce integration to the Ethereum Blockchain, incorporate Machine Learning (ML) and Logistical features to enhance the user experience and enable superior levels of service. ML will be used to establish better buyer and seller relationships and streamline sales, financial accounting and administration.
The most significant change will be to extend and enhancement of our Web Application to include DApps to leverage the benefits of the blockchain to fulfill our vision of creating a nextgeneration business platform for a fully inclusive digital economy. We’ll introduce smart contracts, digital wallet, digital currency or tokens and transfer features from the outset. Through each phase as the technology matures we’ll re-introduce efficiency and performance improvements to benefit users and grow the digital economy.
