Development of a Comprehensive Mobile Marketplace Platform for Sustainable Product Trading

The client faces difficulties in creating an accessible, intuitive, and secure platform where buyers can confidently purchase organic, handcrafted, and lifestyle products, and sellers can efficiently manage their product listings and communicate with potential customers. Existing solutions lack seamless communication channels, reliable product status updates, and detailed feedback mechanisms tailored to diverse product categories.
