Abstract: In contemporary lifestyles, a common challenge is the urgent requirement to purchase a specific item without knowing its location, often due to time constraints. While online ordering is an alternative, the associated waiting period poses a drawback. To address this, a purpose-built application has been developed to efficiently locate products in nearby retail shops. By swiftly presenting available items in the vicinity along with their distances, the app eliminates the need for exhaustive inquiries at multiple shops. The central aim is to enhance user convenience by saving time and energy. Beyond aiding buyers, the application offers benefits to sellers by increasing visibility, potentially attracting more customers, and fostering recognition. The platform seeks to simplify the product search and purchase process, benefiting both consumers and retailers.
