Next Generation Order Placing System

The world is changing fast; e-commerce battle has been expanded from PC to mobile.

Still the way we order much more similar to what we do before 5 years…But it times to change this system.

I am working in proto type and also designing how next generation system looks like. In this article I will discuss about three points

 1) New Order Placing system which just arrived

 2) Possible Order placing  System  #1 (very general to order anything and fits in your garbage)

 3) Possible Oder placing system #2 (built in system sensor with your product package or in your jar)

1)      New Order Placing system which just arrived - Amazon dash

How it works?

·         If you think that 5 items are there which you never want to run out then you can buy those dash button for these five items.

·         Whenever you notice that your favorite items about to run out press that dash button and it will send order details.

·         You will get mobile notification and if you want you can edit the order as well

·         If you are prime member then within two days those item will be at your door steps

Disadvantage:

·         Very limited options to buy different dash button and it cost (4.99$)

·         You are bounded to only one portal and one product

2)      But I am more interested in developing prototype for option #2 and that system will be intelligent enough to read the barcode and order the same price after compering total prices , ship time (based on your priority )

How it will work actually?

·         A Sensor install into or an intelligent garbage collector  which is connected to wifi and also connected to main server

·         You can login into the portal and customize your priority and also configure order quantity for particular item

·         You through your empty package into garbage ..sensor will read barcode.

·         Sensor then send this information to server

·         Server will search certain portals and try to find best deal

·         Order that item and send you the notification

·         If you feel that you want to modify order just click on the link and modify order

Disadvantage:

·         Difficult to order very large item which you cannot throw in garbage

  

3)      Third option is to develop sensor and programmed it to send signals when jar is about to empty

How it will work actually?

·         Buy N number of wifi enabled sensors

·         Associate order with each sensors (the way dash is doing)

·         Set threshold weight

·         Put that sensor in Jar

·         Now when jar is have less weight which was specified in the threshold level of sensor

·         Sensor will send signal to particular device which is in the home and that device will send that signal to Main server

·         Server will compare market prices and place the order

·         Consumer can edit the order

Disadvantage:

·         Lots of manual work to setup and customize sensor

·         What if you cook the sensor (you are putting sugar in tea and you boiled out that sensor and more you may drunk  it as well J)
