Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

Dukani Live integrates real-time CCTV feeds from multiple shops into a mobile app, enabling users to explore and shop securely online. Our platform ensures product authenticity, secure transactions via an in-app wallet, and fast delivery services.

01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

Dukani Live is a mobile application designed to transform the shopping experience by integrating real-time CCTV feeds from various shops into one platform. Users can virtually explore multiple stores, view live product displays, and make purchases directly through the app. Our in-app wallet ensures secure transactions, holding payments until products are delivered to the customer, thereby minimizing the risk of scams. Additionally, Dukani Live facilitates window shopping by allowing users to compare prices across different shops in real time. Our delivery network ensures that purchased products are promptly delivered to the customers’ doorstep, enhancing convenience and satisfaction. Currently, we are preparing to launch in Dar es Salaam, a city with a high density of retail shops and potential users.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

The primary problem Dukani Live addresses is the prevalence of online shopping scams, particularly on social media platforms where fraudulent sellers post fake product pictures without having an actual shop. This leads to customers losing money and trust in online shopping. Additionally, many consumers prefer the experience of window shopping to compare prices and products across various stores, which is time-consuming and often impractical in a busy city like Dar es Salaam. Dukani Live provides a secure and efficient solution by offering real-time, transparent access to actual shops and their products, ensuring authenticity and enabling convenient comparison shopping.
