Current Status
During a one-month pilot in Bali, we had 800+ downloads and 50 shop sellers registered. We then went home to work on improving the app based on user feedback in preparation for the release of version 2. Local shipping integration, locally preferred pay-out integration, Easy shop registration flow, and earlier language selection were among the updates. We have a trademark and are currently patent pending on the application and broader software, in accordance with Pigee's IP strategy. Pigee has partnerships with FedEx, UPS and Lion Parcel.
Problem or Opportunity
Have you travelled on vacation and found unique products such as paintings or homewares that would look amazing in your home, but found yourself putting them down because you had no idea of how to get them home?
I have, many times. And I wondered if anyone else had. Our research revealed that it is not only a common problem, but also a high-value problem to solve. Tourists limit shopping to what they can physically carry. To ship purchased products home from vacation is convoluted. The shipping cost is unknown until after product purchase. Tourist focused shops seldom make recurring sales.
Solution (product or service)
Unlimiting the shopping experience. Tourists can purchase as many products as they like. From any street market or shop they visit in the world. Having their products conveniently sent directly to their home.
The easy-to-use system insures the money you’ve spent. Pigee allows you to purchase items from the same seller in the future meaning recurring sales for the shop owner.
Business model
As a marketplace the application generates revenue by charging a commission from transactions. These include product value, shipping cost and foreign currency exchange. A machine learning and AI model is currently in production to optimise pricing for shipping.Availability for shops in over 88 countries
