Jungle Marketplace
Creating PNG’s first Multi-Vendor marketplace
Papua New Guinea e-commerce revolution
Jungle saw the opportunity to launch a marketplace in rapidly developing Papua New Guinea (PNG). PNG is currently undergoing a digital revolution and e-commerce is a vital aspect of it. In a country where online shopping is a relatively new concept and cash is still the main means of transaction, e-commerce was hardly a thing up until recent times. In late 2020’s, faster internet has been introduced along with new digital payment methods, which fueled online activity. Additionally, Covid-19 has funnelled many consumers towards shopping online, opening a whole new range of opportunities for retailers and digital marketplaces.
Jungle became one of the early adopters, moving fast to establish their presence in developing PNG e-commerce market. Jungle’s vision is to enable the widespread distribution of products to businesses and the public through an online marketplace.
To achieve their goal, Jungle was looking for a technology partner that would not only meet their functional requirements but also would allow launching a marketplace in the fastest way possible.
