With ever increasing need for buying commodities, it has become very essential that the delivery speed is up to the mark. More and more products are sold via e-commerce because the ease of access and efficiency of Internet has made trading very popular. Youth are trying to order most of their daily necessities online, but surely till now, this hasn't affected the sales of day to day commodities. These shopkeepers, who are willing to enter the online arena are overwhelmed by all the technological ideologies and technical nomenclatures. They want to market themselves online with very little technical knowledge involved in the process. The proposed solution is a platform for shopkeepers to market their commodities and services to an average consumer. This solution is a middleware between shopkeepers and consumers which acts as a recommendation system. We are trying to bridge this gap where consumers are more technology-oriented and shopkeepers lie at another end of the spectrum. In turn, the shopkeeper can also benefit by getting a data feed about most searched commodity in their vicinity. The consumers, on the other hand, get to choose which shops to visit or get their product delivered from. This would reduce the monopoly caused by the e-commerce giants like Amazon, Flipkart in the market. Also, the consumer enjoys instant knowledge about the availability of the product.
