Challenges

  • Traditional eCommerce interfaces were cluttered and unintuitive for quick requests

  • Need for an innovative approach to connect consumers with multiple vendors instantly

  • Lack of integrated, real-time communication between buyers and sellers/service providers

Our solution

Cloudseed developed Buylane buy and Buylane sell apps, delivering:

Emoticon-based product & service selection: Created a custom emoticon keyboard where each emoticon represents a product or service, enabling users to quickly select and request offerings without navigating lengthy menus.

Buylane buy (Consumer app):

  • Consumers request products or services via emoticons.

  • Requests are broadcast to all registered sellers or service providers for that product/service category.

  • Consumers can chat directly with vendors or providers, clarifying needs, negotiating prices, or finalizing orders seamlessly within the app.

Buylane sell (Seller & service provider app):

  • Sellers and providers register their products or services using emoticons for intuitive categorization.

  • Receive instant notifications when a user requests their offerings.

  • Engage in real-time chat with consumers to confirm requests, negotiate terms, or send offers.

Integrated chat module: Enabled direct communication between consumers and vendors/service providers to improve customer experience and transaction clarity.

Interactive marketplace ecosystem: Connected buyers and sellers in an innovative, emoticon-driven marketplace that reduced barriers to entry and improved speed of engagement.
