Business Gaps in the IT Sector

In today's form of "modern living", little did we realize how delivery services were growing towards a status of an "ideal + convenient" form of living. Essentially, that is the best form of marketing strategy for various profitability scaled minded people. (Offer the best form of LAZINESS). We should pay attention to the various online technologies such as access softwares/websites like Doordash, Amazon, Uber, TakeAway/Thuisbezorgd.. and several other companies that have offered best forms of service via food/product related to subscriptions.

My biggest obeservation of a business gap with this technological advancement is mainly the popularity of meal plans like Freshfoods will always be backed by "state-of-the-art" marketing strategies (such as instagram "brainwash"), bringing about a wonderful idea to the general public towards "A-Star" service status(yet the company that is soley focused on the profit bit). Serveal companies have a notorious reputation of existing as a delivery service and/or a supply service, yet, has a deminishquality of service over the years. My research relys soley on feedback from the people employed to deliver the service (in this case they are consumers of Uber, Doordash, etc...). With the recognized deminishing quality of service, this impacts the supply, and as a domino effect, the idea of delivery of serivce towards the customers worsens in quality overtime. As much as it is not visible to the consumers and the suppliers (where suppliers are also considered as consumers, off the idea that you have to pay to be a top recommended supplier), the period of when these apps were first introduced, it did look stress on paper, that this is the most ideal service both on consumer and supplier's point of view.

However, observing the same demand/supply has had significant tweaks to services fees as the software/app provider has marked up pricing (also reducing payout to suppliers) by signifcant margins. And ofcourse people could complain, but a blind eye would not realize that when an item or service is placed on sale (doubled earnings to the supplier's perspective), it ideally is a situation where, to market the product is still profiting a markup of 30-70%, when they could make a markup of 10-30% if it is on regular price (I will post a link with this statement being proved), hence market the product in a colourful way to attract attention. Concluisively, sales are really not sales, probably just stock that just hasn't moved too well, and they could claim they reduced the price, but do you really know the original price tag? Do you even know the true value of the product you walked into the store to purchase?

Stay cognisant!
