Problem or Opportunity
Problems in existing marketplaces:
Lack of communication between vendor and consumer: This leads to vendor dependence on the platform and difficulties with warranty service.
Logistics, large warehouses within the country: Maintaining large logistics complexes requires significant costs, which forces marketplaces to increase sales commissions and rent for storing goods.
High commissions of marketplaces force sellers to raise prices: Sellers increase the cost of goods up to 60% to compensate for the forced costs of promotion, delivery, and commissions.
Limited customer options: There is no single platform where the buyer can compare the prices of goods from several countries at once, taking into account the price, delivery time, and shipping cost. Lack of information about the seller, the risk of fraud.
International expansion: Difficult international expansion for marketplaces due to high logistics costs.
