On a context where e-commerce and m-commerce are growing about 20% per year (Eurostat, 2017) and gaining a significant market share, many independent professionals, small and medium enterprises are being ejected from their niches due to the bad distribution of their markets, where, a few big companies with much more means are embracing most of the online market share.
In this sense, Síbox is a project that aims to provide an innovating channel to sell online for those SMEs that, having a competitive product or service, can´t afford the marketing costs implicit in the traditional online platforms.
By changing the hole purchasing process, Síbox launched last summer an app for customers to publish their needs without compromising their privacy, and SMEs got the opportunity to asses those customers they were interested in by chatting or sending them directly an ad-hoc budget, without investments in web pages, SEM/SEO positioning, ads, nor uploading extensive portfolios.
After a great acceptance in the market for several sectors, we are now launching the evolution of the MVP to provide, in the one hand, an Artificial Intelligence based in machine learning that will make automatically the first commercial approach for SMEs, and in the other, we are integrating a facial recognition technology that will allow making commercial agreements in our platform, turning Síbox into a m-commerce platform that won´t require any investment to be selling online from the first day.
