Problem Statement

“How can we better adjust and adapt into New Norms in a Post-Covid world?”

COVID-19 has negatively impacted the society, causing many to rely heavily on online food delivery services. Businesses (i.e. provision shops, hawker centres) that have yet to shift to digitalization are struggling to tide through this tough period.

What we've identified

It has always been a challenge for local shop owners (especially hawkers/seniors) to get on board the digital bandwagon due to the high barrier of entry caused by the lack of technological knowledge. In addition, the cultural aspect ("kampung spirit") in Singapore has become less prominent as we transit into the 4th Industrial Revolution which brought about negative social impacts to the society.

Target Audience

Provision shops
Hawker shops
Singapore local community

Solution

Provision/hawker Shops

Provide a delivery platform to present business opportunities for shops. Low barrier to entry as shop owners are not required to have prior techonlogical knowledge to utilise the application.

Singapore local community

Community-based application that adopts the concept of Wikipedia where information are provided by the users. Peer-2-Peer platform for users where they are able to incentivise others requesting for the delivery service. Users are able to earn extra source of income as they are able to conveniently purchase additional items along their way to fulfill the orders on the application.

Future Improvements

Automated vetting process to validate shop information prior to listing shops in the menu
Active menu filtering that loads orders which are in close proximity for convenience
Integrate a point of sale system for smooth transaction of payments
Crowd monitoring system which the data is provided by users (similar to Waze)
