Crowdfunding operates best when people unite around one common purpose. However, vendors need a dedicated platform for showcasing their products, and clients require a place that looks reliable and straightforward to use. In most cases, when those aspects are taken separately, the experience turns out to be disjointed and challenging to scale.
This is what our clients asked us to solve.
Solution
We have developed a platform where users can conduct fundraising campaigns and engage with other people, who share the same interest in certain causes and ideas. The resulting platform provides the necessary functionality for the development of a digital marketplace for conducting campaigns and vendor showcases.
Challenges
When creating this platform, our clients faced some difficulties. Specifically, they required one solution, which would be capable of handling various user operations related to launching campaigns, showing vendors’ products, engaging communities, etc.
This platform should have:
* campaign creation tools
* vendor show
* community engagement features
* convenient navigation
* reliable design
Existing solutions
It might seem like existing solutions will be able to provide this functionality. Indeed, they can but in a rather inefficient way. In many platforms, there are different modules responsible for fundraising campaigns and conducting marketplaces. Thus, in addition to a greater load on the client’s budget, users also face the inconvenience of dealing with two different interfaces.
Another issue associated with such platforms is that people who start fundraising campaigns and vendors who show products may not interact with each other. As for vendors, they cannot promote their products without using any specific interface, and they do not have an opportunity to engage in communities either.
Our solution
Having understood clients’ requirements, we have created a platform, which can perform all these functions and at the same time look cohesive and comfortable for people to use. Here are its features.
– Campaign creation tools
The first thing to be highlighted is that we have created tools for launching crowdfunding campaigns. Clients are thus able to promote their ideas and attract money for implementation of certain initiatives.
– Vendor showcase features
Another advantage of this solution is that vendors are able to showcase their products here. They will be presented to clients in an elegant manner, and vendors will be able to promote them.
– Community building tools
The platform is aimed at providing a place where people will be able to unite. By interacting and discussing particular topics, people will make the platform more lively.
– Unified user experience
Speaking of user convenience, we should say that we managed to avoid creating different interfaces for performing various actions. Users will be able to switch between campaigns, products, and interaction easily.
– Scalability
As regards further development, this solution can be improved to accommodate more features. In this way, our clients will be able to add anything they want to the existing functionality.
Information
Thus, in simple terms, we have built a crowdfunding and vendor marketplace platform, which allows users to launch fundraising campaigns, vendors to show their products, and communities to get united.
Results
Thanks to this platform, clients gained an opportunity to develop a multifunctional platform, where they will be able to implement both fundraising campaigns and conduct a marketplace. Such approach to business organization will definitely help clients to achieve their aims.
Impact
In this way, we have helped the client:
* create a multifunctional platform
* conduct campaigns
* perform vendor showcases
* facilitate interaction within communities
* provide users with one integrated interface
