JaJuMa-Market

With the successful re-launch of the regional online portal "einfach Heimat" a new local commerce initiative for north-west Germany by Niedersachsen Wasser Kooperations- und Dienstleistungsgesellschaft mbH with support from JaJuMa GmbH is available to its customers.

The topic of local commerce is currently much discussed and commented. On the one hand, as one of the current trends in e-commerce and a source of salvation for the traditional brick-and-mortar retail trade, on the other hand, it is often seen critically as a wrong path for which there is no need and no opportunities.

The entire JaJuMa team has been really looking forward to this blog entry for quite some time. It was certainly a hard piece of work and within a few night shifts we got to know our coffee pots even better, but we are very happy that we were able to hand over our first market place project in live mode to Schmuckladen.de. Anyone interested can now admire our system directly under real world conditions and see in this show case how a shop-in-shop system can be implemented with our Marketplace Solution .

In addition to summarizing and intensive discussion regarding technical requirements for a future marketplace software or a shop-in-shop system, we also carried out a first base search on the internet for possible solutions.
