ShopZoo: A Grocery Shopping Mobile Application with Smart Recommendation System

Abstract

The paper presents a system that enables consumers to order grocery online, view product and shop recommendations using an online grocery shopping mobile application called ShopZoo. ShopZoo customer application enables users to purchase grocery, stationery & electronic items online from local vendors. The proposed system constitutes a shopkeeper application that lets the shopkeeper have control over his inventory and process orders. An admin application will let us add new shops and new products to a universal database. The customer can select from a variety of products, based on an item-item collaborative recommendation system. A list of shops is displayed according to distance nearest to customer’s current location and product availability. The idea is to help customers by recommending better options for similar products with trust of buying from nearby shops. The shopkeeper application can be used by local vendors so it can increase their sales and help them manage and expand their business online.
