Bitshares Labs launches DropDito.com
The Online Selling community in the Philippines is booming. Now, here’s an app that caters to the needs of sellers, buyers and drop-off stalls.
The Pain point of Online Selling
Starting and venturing into an online selling business is not as easy as everyone thinks. While it is easy to promote your products in social media, most online sellers don’t own a physical store. Logistics and delivery become a dilemma. Most online customers don’t have time for personal meet-ups.
Should they have the time to meet up, it usually ends up as a waste of time and money. Some customers don’t show up, a hoax, or late. Other issues brought about by online sellers are their security.
The Emergence of Drop Off Points
Meetups can be time-consuming and expensive for both parties. Time and money are precious. This paved a way for stall owners to earn an extra income by allowing their unused space as a drop-off point or area. The drop-off area would guarantee to hold the items from online sellers safe and ready for buyers to pick up. In exchange, they earn a reasonable fee paid by buyers. The Drop off point also serves as the collection agent for the seller.
This informal arrangement worked and soon enough, sellers begin to receive more orders. With the increase of customers, managing inventory and delivery became troublesome. Some customers are persistent in following up on the status of their orders. Sellers start to receive an overwhelming volume of orders beyond what they can manage.
The DropDito.com Initiative
This lead Bitshares Labs towards the development of the Dropdito.com web app. Drop Dito (Drop Here) allows sellers, drop area owners to manage their own accounts, and provide their customers with tracking information. With Drop Dito, the transactions were quick and easy.
Drop Dito offers great free features and benefits to every user:
Dropping Area Owners/Operator
Users can easily see their daily income, such as fees collected and cash for sellers and cash flows. Operators can also project incoming items by looking at the account of sellers.
Flawless Order Management and Logistics for Online Sellers
Sellers can easily manage their own accounts with Drop Dito Transparency tools. They can choose their preferred drop zone. They have access to the status of their items as well. Once the sellers have made a pre-order list, the buyers will immediately receive a notification.
Buyer’s Convenience and Accessibility
Buyers can easily track the status of their ordered items by simply logging into their account with Drop Dito’s easy tracking features.
“Online selling may look simple, but it’s not. My wife experienced these pain points first hand. And so I created an app, together with my team, which provides a better way to organize their online selling business and provide their customers the tracking number when their orders are already available for pickup at drop off stalls.” — John Yngson, CEO, Bitshares Labs
