IWJG Watch Platform

Description

IWJG is a membership organisation for businesses within the pre-owned / Used luxury watch industry. It is a platform for users globally to be able to network, source, and market products that they have available. With the current global pandemic, businesses within the pre-owned watch industry have been affected by not being able to travel and source stock to support their businesses, and it's affecting them being able to make a living to support themselves and their families. I have first-hand experienced this problem and wanted to find a resolution to help fix this issue and to make things easier in the future for businesses.

Our platform had a specific vetting process to be able to identify the applications of users to ensure that it is authentic businesses only due to the items being advertised on the platform at a trade market value. Only vetted users are available to gain access to the platform. Information of all users is shown on their profile to ensure transparency within all users.

Functions of the app.

Forums will bracket the posts made by users within the brand of the advertisement to make it easier for users to be able to view items that are of interest to them and to filter the posts.

Private chats for users to be able to communicate within and network and to talk about posts have made. Chats will be logged on the backend for the purpose of ensuring the chats have law-abiding conversations and if any issues within users we can log the conversations.

The search section which is self-explanatory is for users to be able to filter all posts made by the users to be able to find a specific post that might have been advertised which they are trying to find.

Contact section – users are able to add other users as friends and it will be stored within their contact section to be able to then view their profile or to be able to message them directly.

Profile page, as mentioned we believe in transparency so profiles will show information of the user including business details so other users know exactly who each other are. Information for this is gained from the application process users make before gaining access to the platform. In addition, a section for all posts made by the user on the forum is stored on their profile so users can see what other products they are advertising on the platform. There is also a review section for users to be able to have their business name and authenticity confirmed by other users. Within the pre-owned watch industry, a person’s brand image is mainly made by their name within the business. A review section is there so that users can feel more confident that the user they may be contacted regarding a post that other users have put their name to confirm that the user and his business are authentic.

Subscriptions, Users have to pay a subscription fee to become members of World Trades community and to gain access to our web platform and our apps. There is a set fee for the subscription and a subscription does not give certain users extra features or additional benefits on the apps. The subscription is purely on the purpose of helping to support the costs of running the business and ensuring that it makes a turnover to keep the platform running and hopefully making the investment return of developing all platforms. Subscriptions will be able to be set up and canceled on all platforms the Web, IOS, and Android depending on user preference usage of the platform. Subscriptions are £50 per month and are of a rolling contract that can be canceled at any time and all new users will have a 30-day free trial to use the platform and see if it brings value to them and their business.
