“The website upgrade they made last night was the upgrade to this?”
“Nonsense…”
Almost subconsciously, everyone is denying what they see.
Since the rise of the group buying market, there have been thousands of websites. Why are there so many? It’s because its technical threshold is so low.
As long as you find someone to build a website and negotiate with merchants, you can build a small group buying website in minutes.
To put it bluntly, this is no different from some group buying QQ groups, it just changes the carrier from QQ to the website.
Of course, some subsequent giants, such as LaShou, Nuomi, and Dazhong, also made a lot of technical upgrades after receiving funds, such as membership systems, points systems, and lottery systems.
But these things are just very simple and low-cost gadgets in network technology.
But none of them thought that one day, a group buying website would list the nearest stores for users based on their address information and show the distance. This is simply a fantasy.
How do they map? How to do distance calculation? How much does this cost?
You know, Volkswagen is currently the best in terms of technology, but their search system only sorts you by sales volume, discounts, latest, and past purchases after you select a city, but it can never do the distance. Sort this sort of thing.
To put it simply, many people buy coupons for fixed stores, and they may have to cross from the east of the city to the west of the city to use them.
Especially when doing flash sale activities, some people just rush to grab the coupons without having time to check the location information. They only find out after the group has purchased the coupons, Wori, how much does it cost to take a taxi so far away?
This has resulted in many platforms having refund orders due to unintuitive locations that prevent users from actually using them.
But if the group update service is real, it is a complete dimensionality reduction blow, because other websites currently cannot provide this kind of service function.
Once consumers experience something convenient and fast, they will never go back, which is a disaster for other companies.
“Leaders, please don’t panic. I…I still have something to say.”
“What’s wrong? Is it a lie?” A glimmer of hope ignited in Robin’s heart.
Xiao Lin was dumbfounded for a moment, then he clicked on one of the stores, and then clicked on the route navigation below.
Soon, a route guide with a map appeared on the screen. What was even more surprising was that there were recommended transportation guides next to the route guide, such as which buses to take, which subway lines to take…
Seeing this scene, everyone in the conference room fell into silence, but what was more eye-catching was the watermark posted under the map, which said Gaode Map.
“What’s so high?”
“It is a map service company with Class A surveying and mapping qualifications. It is very famous in the field of vehicle navigation. It provided the route service for last year’s World Expo. However, it is not free and open, and the annual service fee is very high. Most companies cannot afford it. .”
“Then what’s the deal with group fights…?”
