Many individuals have been inspired to establish their small businesses as a result of the current Covid-19 pandemic, however, upscaling is challenging for small company owners owing to a lack of connection and client reach. In addition, the pandemic has hit many established local businesses hard financially. There is a demand for a dedicated platform that allows customers to interact with growing small businesses and start-ups while also allowing company owners to exhibit their products and network. Businesses that are fresh to the market confront challenges in showcasing their products and gaining client exposure. As a result, we developed a web application that links small businesses with larger audiences and helps them grow. Vocal for local is a seamless E-commerce platform designed to address the problems that small businesses face. Customers can pick from a large range of items supplied by various local companies and make safe and secure payments on the platform, making it a convenient platform for both customers and local businesses.
