She shares

“She shares” is a, cloud-based, shared purchasing Platform, that allows rural artisans women to group their purchases in order to have better prices, less shipping costs and an increasing profit margin.

Rural women artisans are missing a lot of opportunities because of the difficult access they have for procurement channels through which they can be buy all the raw materials they need for their production. This is due to the fact that she lives far away from the  traditional supply zones.To be able to get what she needs, a rural woman can only afford to buy in small quantities and at high prices (an average of 15% more) in addition to what she spends in transportation. 

By grouping the procurement needs we can increase purchasing quantities and make pressure on suppliers to decrease the prices. The more requests there are, the more attractive become the suppliers’ offers in terms of cost and delivery deadlines. This will enable the rural women artisans to increase their profit margin, develop their businesses and positively impact the entire ecosystem.

"She shares" platform is intended to enable each and every woman involved to increase her margins by buying more for less costs. With enough revenue, rural women can grow their businesses, create more jobs in their living areas and increase its their chances of generating a dignified income for them and their families

We are working closely with associations, active in rural areas and in women rights for dignified income, to build bridges between active rural women and make them get the most from our platform.

“She shares” is building the bridges between rural women and suppliers using simple and highly available technologies that can be used in a step by step basis by any rural women using a normal phone without any trainings

It is actually using SMS gateways to make communications flows easy and practical and uses mobile payment solutions to process transactions back and forth.

Our platform content is made by people and for their own use. All connected users involved, customers, suppliers and transporters are in a win-win situation and our platform is made to help close deals and make everyone happy either by decreasing costs or by selling more.

By offering the chance for rural women to make their business prosper, we are helping them get a dignified income, we are improving their living conditions and we are encouraging them to be more and more ambitious.

She Shares platform can be accessed through any web browser, using smartphones through dedicated apps or using a normal telephone by using SMSing. No data plans are actually needed in this last case to use our platform.. We take a small margin on deals done through our platform but never as high middlemen..

Our margin will be highly competitive so that at the end, the rural women will have better pricing and lower costs.

We are looking to raise funds through a first round of investment in six months from now.One started we will get success fees on closed deals through our platform.our offer reduces purchasing costs, simplifies orders and allows to control purchases.our solution allows rural women to save between 1 and 2% of their annual turnover.Thanks to the strength of our network of rural women and suppliers, thanks to our expertise and to the technological tool with an easy to use interface we assure to every investor our ability to generate cash and a sustained profitability in a logic win-win

Illiteracy is the most important factor limiting the success of the project because most women in rural areas are illiterate.

The lack of network coverage is also an important factor to that may freese the global spreading of the platform specially in sub-saharian Africa.

We are submitting our project in Solve challenge because we believe that today, rural women have an increasing  need for globalized tools enabling them to develop and increase their chances of gaining new markets and prospering their business. We seek to become solvers, to help women to achieve economic autonomy and to reduce their supply difficulties. Our main goal is to transform rural women into women entrepreneurs
