RECENT PROJECTS I WORKED AT
Project ORANGEWEB
OrangeWebmedia started with the goal of introducing a new service to the market that allows SME to make use of high end software without large investment and thus continue to compete with the larger parties in the field of e-commerce such as Bol.com and Amazon.
OrangeWebmedia consists of a number of services:
- Web hosting (OrangeWebhosting)
- Web design (OrangeWebsites)
- Network and Security (OrangeNetwork, OrangeDNS, OrangeICT)
- Offering fully-equipped marketplaces such as Thuisbezorgd, Amazon, Werkspot and Bol.com (OrangeMarket)
- Linking live supply and demand for business transportation services like UBER does for individuals. In short, Orange can be used in almost any industry.
Meanwhile, OrangeWebmedia is an official partner of Google, Amazon, Digital Ocean, TransIP, Cloudways, Cloudflare, Sectigo, McAfee and Envato. By creating smart data links and automated systems, we can currently provide a fully automated service where the customer establishes a domain and 10 minutes later, if chosen, can fill a web shop with products live instantly on 100+ Market Places such as Amazon, AliExpress, EBay and Bol.com. The links are made, the partnerships are in place so the client can hook in/subscribe at any level. From automatic bidding strategies to direct debit payments (SEPA direct Debit) at European level, both business and private through online authorizations.
Roadmap:
- Offering fully equipped (multi vendor) market places such as Amazon and Bol.com where the customer can enable and disable modules (API connections) themselves.
- Live supply and demand linking of transportation services through an APP like UBER does for Taxis.
- Provide an alternative in APP/ website form of Thuisbezorgd.nl for local restaurants, sandwich bar and lunchrooms etc.
- Marketplace where freelancers or students can offer services in the niche of Internet marketing, content writing and translation.
