Building a smart, data-driven platform to empower e-commerce entrepreneurs

About E-pickr

e-pickr® is a young and fresh start-up created from the success of e-commerce and the growth of the industry.

It analyses millions of products that are currently sold and users get the insights that they need to make a professional and successful decision. Not only does it use the sales of these products in their analyses, but also the heaviness of competition, your financial fit to this product, and the profit from the revenue that users are keeping. Together,it give users one overall score on whether to sell these products or rather not.

e-pickr® in collaboration with Eastern Enterprise developed a web application that provides real-time e-commerce product insights, follows trends and competitors as well as finds out how much sales and revenue your new product will make. e-pickr® uses advanced algorithms and makes its system learn from itself.

Project Challenge

There is a huge market for dropshippers/e-commerce enthusiasts who are looking to make a mark in the e-commerce space while keeping operating costs at a minimum.

The most common problem faced by individuals who are trying to get into this market space is the lack of knowledge or data that is required to effectively understand what products sell and what don’t. Knowing this would not only bolster sales and increase revenue-generating opportunities but also decrease the learning curve that goes into developing a successful business venture.

The challenge was to create this platform that employed, in the background, complicated a statistical models to interpret data points and thereby provide meaningful insights to users. In addition to this, the team developing the e-pickr® platform had to adhere to tight deadlines after inheriting a far-from-ideal codebase from a prior development agency.

Our Solution

Eastern Enterprise partnered with e-pickr® to build a platform that would cater to e-commerce professionals.

e-pickr® has used millions of data points sourced from market leaders in the e-commerce space to help users understand and grow in their journey to thrive at setting up an e-commerce business.
