Details

Hidden Gemz aims to support local businesses by redistributing ticket sales to the businesses visited by ticket holders. The current manual payout process is inefficient and time-consuming, necessitating the development of a robust, automated system. The goal of this project is to design and implement a software solution that automates the distribution of funds to each business based on ticket sales. This system should ensure accuracy, transparency, and timely payouts, enhancing the financial operations of Hidden Gemz. The project will involve software development with a focus on fintech solutions, allowing learners to apply their classroom knowledge in real-world financial technology applications. Key tasks include designing the system architecture, developing the software, and testing the payout automation process.

Deliverables

The project deliverables include a fully functional software system that automates payouts to local businesses. The system should include a user-friendly interface for monitoring transactions and generating reports. Additionally, comprehensive documentation detailing the system architecture, code, and user instructions must be provided. The final deliverable will be a demonstration of the system's functionality, showcasing its ability to accurately and efficiently distribute funds.

Hidden Gemz is a city-exploration platform that offers bookable year-round, self-guided experiences designed for friends, couples, and newcomers to explore multiple local spots in a single day. Our experiences include a meal, an activity, and a dessert, all covered by a single ticket.

This approach not only promotes social interaction and city exploration but also drives revenue to local businesses. Each participating business receives a portion of the ticket sales directly when someone visits with a ticket. Hidden Gemz actively markets these bookable experiences to attract new customers, enhancing the visibility and appeal of local spots.

In September 2024, we will being our mobile app development.
