System
Marketing Plan for Android App
Executive
Summary
Situation: With the increase in Indian economy, there has been
a constant increase in the number of malls and supermarkets
as well as the number of people visiting the malls and
supermarkets.
Problem: Lack of an indoor navigation system that makes it
tough to search through the entire mall. This eats away time
and energy due to which people prefer online shopping. GPS
doesn’t work indoors as it is blocked by walls.
Solution: A software-hardware integrated solution that which
will use VLC to guide the consumer to their desired product or
shop inside a supermarket or mall respectively.
