Pitch
Shopnest is developing the orders and communication channels management tool for social commerce to help online sellers affordably handle their flows from multiple sales channels at the time without losing their deals.
Our primary goal is to empower and encourage entrepreneurship, while also safeguarding individuals from fraud and unethical traders.
PROBLEM
We highlight the constraints of employing social media channels for business activities. Specifically, these platforms are not tailored for conducting commercial transactions. They lack fundamental tools for managing products, orders, and logistics, and also fail to offer basic fraud prevention measures for buyers.
SOLUTION
We provide an exhaustive tool that connects multiple social media channels into one application to offer security features for buyers and business administration tools for sellers, creating a highly scalable model to enhance businesses across Africa. Our Africa-adapted business model feeds the Blue Ocean market since we are not competing but rather making our potential competitors into partners.
BUSINESS MODEL
We do not charge commission fees. Instead, our pricing model operates on a subscription basis, where each tier offers additional slots for listing products and extra features aimed at enhancing business efficiency.
