Abstract
E-commerce, as a means of transacting business, is increasingly providing
Ghanaians abroad and at home with a new and more convenient way to do
their shopping. Sites such as makola.com and myebayghana.com are
providing retailers with a means to exhibit their products to enable them
expand their reach. However, many e-commerce sites do not fully address
the shopping needs of the average Ghanaian shopper, which are, a quick,
easy, reliable and more contextual way to shop for products and have them
delivered to their doorsteps. This project therefore proposes a convenient,
intuitive and contextually relevant e-shopping system. The system uses
recommendation algorithms and SMS messaging as a major means of
interaction.
