ApolloX | The Revolutionized Platform For Decentralized E-Commerce Marketplaces And Services On Blockchain
Ecommerce or online shopping as it is called in local parlance is a great way of shopping. The benefit of shopping over the net is that you have wide range of products and services to choose from and at amazing prices.
Before the introduction of the internet, people often made their purchases from departmental stores and supermarkets. Now, the internet has made it possible for you to shop for any product from the comfort of your bed.
Key examples to the success of ecommerce are China-based Alibaba and US-based Amazon as they have garnered widespread popularity and have provided quality products to its customers.
Problems with Traditional Ecommerce
Ecommerce has problems and the main issue here is its centralized nature. The traditional ecommerce being operated till date uses the Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) model. SKU involves the tracking of an item for inventory purposes. SKU also functions as a product code and is displayed as a machine-readable bar code.
In the traditional ecommerce industry, ecommerce platforms sell products directly and also place their interest above that of the sellers’. This breeds problems such as commoditization. Commoditization here implies that prices are regarded as the only medium of selling a product.
The platform is centralized and key decisions are taken by a few. Governance and control of the platform is taken over by the platform instead of the participants who are pivotal to the success of every ecommerce platform.
There is no trust in the system as information is not verifiable. So the origin, societal significance and genuine aspect of an offering cannot be verified. Collated data are used against the participants.
The problem in the traditional ecommerce industry cannot be undermined because it greatly influences the negativity of the platform. The ApolloX platform is placing its interest above that of the participants. Customers’ quest for transparency and control of their delivery time.
