Problem
Many consumers in Egypt face high prices for desired products due to individual purchasing power limitations. Traditional e-commerce platforms do not effectively facilitate group buying, leaving potential savings untapped.
Solution
Sharwa is a mobile application designed for social e-commerce, enabling users in Egypt to purchase products at reduced prices by combining their orders with friends. The platform allows users to create or join "Sharwa" groups, adding desired items to a shared cart. Once the group meets a minimum order threshold within a 24-hour window, the purchase is finalized, and next-day delivery is provided. This approach leverages collective buying power to unlock lower prices for individual consumers.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is price-conscious consumers in Egypt who are looking for ways to save money on everyday purchases by leveraging group buying dynamics.
