The Problem

Setting up and running an online store isn’t as easy as many people think, this is the sad realisation many entrepreneurs wake up to. Setting up and running an online business demand a lot in the form of cost, time, and expertise. Many at times entrepreneurs lack all these which results in the sudden collapse of an online business once it has started or even before it has started. Entrepreneurs have to overcome a lot of local and international regulations, expensive maintenance cost, lack of drop shipping, lack of quick payment gateways and other overheads.

The Solution

Guarium is a blockchain based e-Commerce Automation platform that has been designed to connect producers, wholesalers, online stores and customers in a seemless, secure, transparent atmosphere. Leveraging on the blockchain technology to eliminate the occasional middlemen, streamline business operations and reduce complexities that affect business productivity. The Guarium network has been designed to enable inclusion of both existing stores and new ones.
To fully automate e-commerce, Guarium was able to integrate 4 key elements;

1. The e-Commerce Automation engine which is the core of the Guarium platform. It automates trading system for orders, goods as well as logistics and provides an advanced customer service.
2. Full Dropshipping which will eliminate the problem of self stocking of goods. Store owners on the platform will be able to take orders while the supplier fulfils the order. The ecosystem will connect the warehouse and the store through a central system which will operate and distribute orders.
3. Advanced affiliate marketing which is designed to enable store owners to generate passive income whenever they refer customers to other stores. Store owners not only own their stores but have stakes in other stores once they refer their clients to these stores.
4. Personal financial infrastructure: The GuarCoin has been designed as a financial tool which will facilitate buying and selling on the Guarium platform. It offers a lot of growth potential as interest and demand for it increases.
