Buy smart and fast on one platform

Project Title

Buy smart and fast on one platform

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

As we need to actualize beacon innovation with (BUY SMART APP) in shopping center since it is gainful for the customers/people groups in a shopping center, they will get various offers when they come surprisingly close to our beacon, yet customers/people groups should have our application named BUY SMART introduced in their advanced cellphones with Bluetooth empower, clients don't have to visit any source for knowing most recent offers and deals. The beacon technology that we are planning to implement is very beneficial and is used in most of the countries over the globe. Surprisingly in Pakistan it is not implemented anywhere. Even “Apple” one of the biggest companies in the world is currently using beacon devices with their name ibeacons in their stores to locate products needed by customers hence making shopping of products efficient and less time consuming. The reason our product is different
from every other product is that we will not only provide users with an application, but we will also provide them with integrated hardware consisting of beacon Bluetooth devices which makes a complete package not just a product. Beacon device is basically a Bluetooth transmitter which transmits it’s
Bluetooth connection to the smart devices that have Bluetooth available. This beacon device is a very power efficient device and is better than normal Bluetooth transmitters. As advancements occur everyday around the globe it is very important to implement those advancements in Pakistan too in order to equate with other countries. The shopping experience should be made easy for the people who want to visit the brands/shops they want to shop from,
and this is where this project provides it’s purpose. We will try our best as a team to achieve the goals for this project that we have in our minds.

Project Objectives

The clear objectives that we want to achieve are making shopping efficient, making a user-friendly application, to enhance marketing, and integration of beacons for easy connectivity.

Project Implementation Method

Our beacons need to be installed in big shopping malls. When any customer enters the shopping mall he/she needs to connect his/her smartphone with our beacons via bluetooth and then open the application which will display all the useful information about that particular shopping mall. After connecting and opening the application, the customer can easily select any shop that they want to go to and our application will guide the customer to the shop with the help of indoor navigation. 

Benefits of the Project

As told before in the objectives we want the customers to have a fast and efficient shopping experience rather than wasting time roaming around the shopping mall to find their desired brands. This project will decrease the shopping time of the customers and bring a new and exciting experience for the customers. The shop vendors will also have the advantage of uploading any sale promotion on the application which will directly boost their sales.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The project will contain beacons and a full fledged application to pair with the beacons.
