9inds - a Marketplace to Sell Handmade Handicraft Items Online
9INDS.com was conceptualized with the idea of allowing artisans to sell their handicraft items online. The solution planned was to provide an online platform to budding artists who can exhibit and sell handicraft items like sculptures, paintings, sarees, figurines, and many more online without getting hassled by the irregular pricing of a middleman.
The Challenge we had
The challenge we had was to allow artisans with limited knowledge to sell online and fulfill online. They needed a seller panel from where the artisans could manage the product inventory and fulfill the orders online. The solution required must allow sellers to put in multiple product pictures online for different views desired to be displayed by the seller.
A Marketplace to sell handicrafts online
9inds was amongst the first few who came into being and allowed sales/purchase of handicraft items online. Handicraft website items do not have regular pricing, and many times it refrained the buyers to choose them, but with 9inds, things changed. With transparent pricing, it was easier for buyers to buy them while at the same time the transparent commissioning model allowed sellers to sell with ease, without the fear of being duped by a middleman.
