Out of stock?

Background situation

Our group, have decided to create an app that helps you to locate/find the nearest shops that have the product that you were looking for. This app is great to use if the product isn’t in stock in the first shop that you went to search. We have aimed this app at children to adults (12-70) whenever they go shopping. It helps for when you can’t find the product that they are looking for.

Problem

Many people have experienced this problem where they have trouble with trying to find a product, whether it’s a gift, clothes, something occasional etc. and is needed within days.

Question

How long does it usually take for you to go shopping with your family?

How much do you usually spend when you go shopping?

What do you usually buy?

Do you often experience this problem due to a product being out of stock?

Out of everyone that you have shopped with, who usually takes the longest?

How often do you go shopping?

Key insight statement(s)

You cant find a product that you are looking for so you have to try other shops to look for them.

Mini Elevator Pitch

My team, [ ], is developing [a mobile app] to help [shoppers] [that are in need of a certain product from a shop that they want to buy] [to find the product they couldn’t find in that shop]

User profiles

Summarise what you have learnt about your users. Remember, these profiles must be based on the real users you

interviewed during scoping.

Competitors or alternative solutions that already exist in the market

I have found that similar apps like our stock idea. However one of these sites don’t solve this problem because I searched for a product and it already said that there was one left and

they didn’t tell me where the closest shop was. Whereas, our app idea tells you where the nearest shop is that does the

product.

Does your app require data or content? Yes

Is the content owner happy to share it? Yes

Is there authorization required? Yes

Technical Feasibility

Is your solution technically possible to build? Yes

Could a professional developer build it in less than 3 months? Yes

Can you find a simpler solution, using existing technology? We could

just show any shops with the product needed, instead of the closest

shops.
