Different type of Donation Marketplace Platform

There are different approaches in donation marketplaces. Each needs different features and technical adjustments in the infrastructure. Few use cases are

• General peer to peer based donation marketplace platform: People can post their give away items and allow anybody to avail those items.
• Specific union private based marketplace platform: Same like general donation marketplace but users will be able to access the apps only through invite links. This style of private marketplaces can be created for bigger corporations, Union, groups and organisations which has thousand of members under their group.
• Multiple private groups based donation marketplace platform: This are special marketplace platform where you don’t have an open marketplace but multiple groups will be created in the platform. Each people can be joined only through an invite from group owners.
• People to Organisations relationship based platform: This is like Thrift+ where users can sell their item and give the sales to their favourite charities.
• And many others

Having smart apps help your users stay connected, easy, and always on reach. Whatever the flexibility you want to have, Tradly platform allows you to have interactions between the donor and the other side.  All these interactions in their smartphone with easy-to-use and personalized features for both parties.
