Project Summary

Pandemic has affected the economy of every country and the sufferance is still at its peak. The world is struggling with the sustainability of its economy as well as other resources. All big names in the world of the market are subject to change of this very situation and have experienced a major decline in their sales graph. People, who are already managing hard to survive with all the resources they have, are not ready to look for any sort of service or brand which they were crazy about before the pandemic. Obviously, it is a huge change that has altered the priorities of everyone. Businesses have to find an alternative to survive and launching a new one is again a task which people have never imagined of. When staying home becomes a global slogan and people are advised to work from home, bringing a service or a product in a market meets a challenge at large.

Virtual Supermarket, however, is a relieving alternative to an extent. It is found to be the most suitable solution to the given situation. 

 . The virtual supermarket is a 3-Dimensional mobile-based application. With the help of this application, an individual can achieve a shopping experience comparable to real life shopping in the Supermarket. When the user starts the application, they are able to visualize a 3-dimensional supermarket model with shelves and a range of products to choose from. We have used pictures of real products to compose the product model. Our Virtual Supermarket comprises of 1000 variety of products. By using the pictures of the real product, it is possible to provide a very clear perception of supermarkets of the real and physical world.

To navigate the virtual supermarket cursor keys are used. To put the product in the basket user can drag the product to the shopping trolley. Users can easily keep track of the products present in the trolley with the help of the cart button provided on the top. When the user has finished shopping, they can click on the “Go to counter” button for checkout. At the checkout counter they won’t be paying with real cash in the form of money instead, they will be asked for the payment method which includes Cash on delivery, Jazz cash, Easy paisa. The original receipt is also generated at the counter. So far, we have submitted the prototype. In this application, the admin plays the key role. The individuals possessing the admin rights are able to login into the admin panel and can view, remove and update products if and when needed.

Project Objectives

In the 21st century, the trend shifts from local shops to supermarkets to online shopping. As the trend of online shopping is increasing with corona forcing more and more customers daily to use online platforms, a new and advanced feature will be able to attract more customers and providing a unique solution to the vendors.

• The app will be able to provide a virtual experience of real-time shopping for users.
• This will reduce human efforts and promoting better living and cost-effective as the users would have an interactive and attractive experience
• The application will be able to increase the sales as well as a good image for marketing purposes.
• People would be able to purchase, pay and get at their doorsteps.

Project Implementation Method

our course of actions to achive this goal is divided into multiple milestones. In each milestone a deliverable is defined and the workflow is predicted. The initial task is to develop the virtual mart and then integrate with the e-commerce system.
Initially the task is to develop this mart and make products visible for the customers. After which the admin will have access to manges these products, their placements, their details and related stuff. Then it will be the time for customers to roam around the mart and select the desired products to add them into their cart. then finalise the bill and make payments on the counter. This, in its final state, will be a complete e-commerce system with virtual mart for the customers and full access for the admin.
