Commerce has always been a very great and important activity in our lives, where users perform the act of buying and selling of goods. With the coming of the Internet, it evolved to the e-commerce where any user can stay at the convenience of their homes and use the Internet to shop for items, which could either be picked up later or be delivered to their home address. This method was so advantageous except for some small issues that could hinder the growth of the e-commerce sector and this is as a result of the customers not being able to physically see or touch the product before they buy it, so this could lead to the delivery of low substandard products or damaged and expired product. This issues now led to most e-commerce platforms to act as an escrow between buyers and sellers and also manage any dispute that arises from such transactions. Examples of such platform include Ebay and Amazon.

Challenges that faces the Current E-commerce Sector

The are a multitude of problems that currently face the current e-commerce platform and they include

  • Getting Trust as a new e-commerce platform is very costly - with the increasing levels of scamming and fraud, a lot of users are sceptical about buying goods online and sometimes will want to see or hear proof that a particular online store has been patronised by someone else first before they make use of it. This is one of the reasons why most of the online stores now spend huge amounts of money on advertisements just to attract buyers that can leave good reviews about them. That way, potential customers in seeing the reviews can now have an assurance that can safely use the platform.

  • Most of the Present E-commerce platform charge a very exorbitant commission - in order for a seller to get a much more wider and willing audience that will buy his or her good, he has to list the goods on popular marketplace such as amazon or eBay. But one of the issues is the fact that for this listing to take place, he has to pay a commission which is usually very high and outrageous. This now forces the seller to make an increase in the price of his goods.

  • Low Transparency and Manipulation of Data to create an Unfair Competition - A lot of the e-commerce platforms makes use of a customers data and history to create a profile in which selected products will be shown and promoted to them at ease. And the platforms do not release or show the customers reactions and reviews of a products to the seller and this creates a level of competition.

  • Other issues include Spending a lot of money on adverts, High commissions of third parties such as middlemen, the bait and switch method done by most of the popular market places.

All the above issues raised concerns that led to the creation of a platform called the Apollox.
