Tõru E-Market

During the Covid pandemic, e-commerce market grew exponentially, showing clearly that e-commerce has a lot of potential.however there's a downside., most of the products are packed in plastic!

Comment

Inspiration - Covid crisis and need to use more nature friendly solutions.

What it does - provides platform for small-businesses to sell their goods via online, meanwhile reducing carbon footprint or lowering it from the standard markets/shops.

How I built it - Mostly using available WooCommerce plug-ins using WordPress as core platform.

Challenges I ran into - Finding reliable transportation partner whom accepts automated pick up for multiple locations. As well as eco-friendly transportation for long distances(within Estonia)

Accomplishments that I'm proud of - first demo platform that gives out the idea for customers and possible investors.

What I learned - a lot of marketing and customer relation skills. As well as API between databases

What's next for Tõru E-Market - Find proper thesis how to solve the packing problem for e-commerce shipments so it could eventually be more co2 friendly by using better transportation solutions and using proper non plastic packaging and developing multi-pick up solution for one "cart".
