Hello!
Digital marketplaces emerged in much the same way brick-and-mortar marketplaces do. They cropped up organically, transposing the age-old concept of a centralized site of commercial activity onto the then-developing world of online activity.
Early digital marketplaces even operated similarly; sellers peddled their wares on eBay the same way a flea market vendor might offload their old vinyl records.
But digital marketplaces have matured in the intervening years. And the innovations some of them deploy are disrupting entire industries.
How Are Digital Marketplaces Disrupting Industries?
Digital marketplaces operate in a familiar way. They connect two interested parties – typically a buyer and a seller, but it may also be a client/service practitioner relationship. (Occasionally, you also find a true barter marketplace with traders instead of buyers/sellers).
They allow consumers to survey the full range of options, seek a fair market price for their purchase, and allow sellers to bypass intermediaries, capitalize on free marketing, and occasionally monetize conventionally unmonetized assets.
To explain how digital marketplaces are disrupting industries, let’s run through those merits in bullet point form:
- Lower costs for consumers
- Greater consumer choice, enabling consumer empowerment
- Democratized access to services and products traditionally monopolized or gatekept
- Free marketing and other perks for sellers and service practitioners.
When you catalog those benefits together, it’s easy to see why digital marketplaces are upsetting some stalwart industries. In the next section, let’s elaborate by offering examples of disrupted industries - and the innovative company behind those disruptions, QUASA.
What Industries Are Being Disrupted by QUASA's Digital Marketplace?
Homework, Repair and Maintenance
The Quasa Connect app put homeowners in contact with freelance journeyers, repair people, and maintenance specialists in order to bypass costly fiat-only repair companies. The arrangement helps keep price fixing and opaque pricing in check by allowing consumers to dictate the terms of the arrangement.
QUASA eliminates the hemorrhoids associated with the search for executors of orders and the fulfillment of orders, as well as problems with receiving money.
No intermediaries, only the customer and the contractor, no banks, payment systems, no conversion fees, no taxes, no "big brother".
No need to know the laws of different countries.
Unlike centralized, similar services for freelancers, QUASA is not tied to fiat and is decentralized.
The QUASA platform, focused on finding performers in solving any tasks and assignments, begins to unite professionals from various fields: IT, architecture, design, marketing, psychology, as well as engineering, scientific and medical areas.
It is for entrepreneurs that the QUASA ecosystem is being created.
There is a huge market for freelancing, just as there is a huge market for cryptocurrencies. That is why QUASA has seized the leading role and intends to force players out of the markets of classic centralized service platforms.
The use of QUA tokens is a prerequisite for working in the Quasa Connect app.
Remote work
There is a deadly fight going on between corporations who want people back in the office and people who want to never set foot in an office but work where they want to live.
The more the corporate paradigm of centralized control and resource limitation tries to impose a new level of slavery, the more the tide of awareness and points of difference grows.
With vertical social elevators coming to a halt and uncertainty and unpredictability growing, people are starting to work with several companies at once as freelancers.
QUA cryptocurrency is a universal tool that was specifically created for settlements with freelancers and those who work remotely around the world.
You are not tied to a country, to the currency of any country, and you can easily hire any specialist from anywhere in the world and calmly pay for his work.
There is no need for conversion and complexity with banking operations. No need to know the laws of different countries.
Quasa Connect was created to solve the biggest problem that humanity will face in the near future, namely to solve the problem of unemployment, so that people / entrepreneurs can find a job they love, provide for themselves and their families.
Classic freelance sites are experiencing a crisis of confidence, as any centralized management does not guarantee 100% transparency.
Archaic centralized management is the cornerstone of their business, not only in the freelance market, but in any field. Without management from the center or their central servers, where all the information is concentrated, such companies simply cannot exist.
The mistrust lies in the fact that performers cannot be 100% sure that they are offered real orders that are not formed by a centralized system.
Either the performers are given orders on a residual basis, and the most profitable ones are given to “their own”, while customers cannot be 100% sure of the quality and responsibility of the performers.
We understand that there cannot be a sustainable business model in the world that is not 100% trustworthy and can be turned off at the touch of a button.
The era of open decentralized platforms like QUASA is coming.
Unlike centralized, similar services for freelancers, QUASA is not tied to fiat and is decentralized.
There is a practice of active use of online platforms that allow you to quickly select an adequate performer, based on his rating and the conditions under which he is ready to complete the task assigned to him.
However, if the freelancer and the client are located in different countries, then it is difficult to work due to the difference in currencies.
Classic freelance platforms provide traditional money transfer and conversion services. Both the customer and the freelancer pay for intermediary money transfer services.
Customers send money to the freelance exchange account, which converts it into a currency in which the performer can receive it and send it to the performer.
Losses only on conversion reach 20% on both sides.
When the price becomes exorbitant, it becomes a problem. Business solves the problem.
The cost of transferring and converting money is a problem, and therefore it becomes attractive to look for a solution to this problem, because it promises a benefit.
A $150 trillion market is at stake = this is the price of the problem.
Business seeks to reduce costs and QUASA offers an alternative approach that solves this problem 10-20-50 times cheaper.
New crypto-settlement tools in QUASA democratize and open up opportunities for hundreds of millions of people, desacralize banks and transfer obsolete freelance exchanges from the “new stars” caste to the outsider caste.
Conclusion
The technologies used in QUASA eliminate the problem of trust, information barriers and legal costs.
By using a trusted environment, unnecessary workflow is eliminated, the cost of completing tasks for clients is reduced, and the performers earn more.
QUASA services are controlled by smart contracts. By connecting your crypto-wallet, a freelancer or customer instantly settles among themselves using the QUA cryptocurrency.
QUASA has become the first one-stop marketplace offering cryptocurrency payments for clients, freelancers and those who work remotely.
Quasacoin (QUA) is the governance token of the QUASA.
The innovations introduced by QUASA are disrupting two industries at once: remote work and home work.
The Quasa Connect application is placed in the public domain on the Google Store and you can test it both from the side of the contractor and from the side of the customer.
We invite you to join the open testing and we will be grateful for your feedback.
