Global Trends selected for concept building

The Concept using the global trends and the Scenario






















The Interface at the end of the vendor is a part of the device that will be kept on the cart and it like the customers will have to connect to a common central provider of the service.
The interface is as shown below. It will be in the local languages of every state and hence the one below is in Gujarati. The list of the vegetable and the instructions will customiseable as per the vendor's language
























The interface with the service at the Customers end is in the mobile phones. In this the Freshwala service is in the main Menu of the mobiles. This has four sub menus and the options of each is shown in the picture. Todays rates gives you the list of all the vegetables available in the city on that day. The Set alarm option allows you to set the alarm with time / vegetable / fruit or if you are friendly with a vegetable vendoe then you can set the alarm with his name. the show wala now helps you to see if there is a vendor in the viscinity without setting the alarm.














When the customer has set the alarm she will get an alert when the vendor is in the viscinity and when she checks the alarm she can see the exact position of the vendor and then she can view the wares he has on his cart and if she wants to purchase she gets to choose between personal purchase or home delivery (if she is old and cant go all the way downstairs)
