Mobile Wallets: Enabling a Digital Future

Mobile Wallets: Enabling a Digital Future

The business-consumer relationship is rapidly becoming digital. Using e-commerce platforms and AI-powered solutions, businesses are transforming their ways to meet the needs of their customers. An important part of the financial sector that is rife with innovation is payment. Mobile technologies like smartphones, tablets etc., offer convenient digital solutions for both customer and company to make virtual payments using a mobile wallet. 

What is a Mobile Wallet?

The mobile wallet is an application that can be installed on a smartphone and stores all user information regarding debit/credit cards, coupons, or reward cards on the mobile device. This info can then be accessed using a Personal Identification Number (PIN), QR code set by the user or by linking an image of the owner with the wallet. 

Consumers can then use this info to make payments at a merchant site by using a technology called Near Field Communication (NFC), which uses radio frequencies to communicate with electronic devices. The mobile wallet transfers the payment info to the merchant Point-of-Service (POS) terminal by waving or holding an NFC-enabled mobile device over the store’s NFC reader. 

Is Apple Pay a mobile wallet?

Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay are examples of mobile wallets that can be installed on a smartphone or other hand-held devices. 

Should I have more than one mobile wallet?

With the usage of mobile wallets having increased over the past few years, it is highly beneficial to keep more than one mobile wallet as merchant sites may or may not accept a particular payment method. For e.g., Paytm accepting merchants may not agree to transact via Google Pay, and vice-versa. This causes unnecessary inconveniences while making in-store purchases and hence, many users prefer to keep multiple mobile wallets on their hand-held or wearable devices.

Its robust mobile wallet enables users to manage and control finances through a convergent platform where they can virtually store and use financial assets.

Will Online Ordering Replace Home Cooking?

Will Online Ordering Replace Home Cooking?

With the coronavirus lockdown keeping restaurants closed and would-be diners at home, takeaway food options are booming in India, and there are signs that the shift toward home-delivered food is here to stay. However, do not fire your cook yet? We all need a job during these crisis-driven times! 

Ordering food online has become so popular and inexpensive that it may soon edge out cooking at home as the preferred way to get a meal on the table. When time is factored in, a meal ordered online could close in or beat the cost of home-cooked food. 

Four factors that point in this direction are mentioned below: 

As lives get busier, one of the first daily tasks that tend to take a hit is making home-cooked meals from scratch. Online ordering is growing rapidly as apps like Uber Eats make it possible to order from restaurants that previously did not offer delivery. Calling online food delivery, a “megatrend” is an understatement, as it can be an important part of our subsistence and sustenance. 

TraQiQ offers the Last mile delivery (software) product called TraQSuite which enables a complete distribution engine. It is designed to manage thousands of task workers across multiple geographies to deliver products and services to the users.

Work From Home Initiatives Take Centre Stage During COVID-19

Work From Home Initiatives Take Centre Stage During COVID-19

With most organizations grappling with harsh COVID-19 lockdowns, the work from home option is playing a major role in ensuring that services continue uninterrupted. With rapid advancements in connectivity over the past 5 years, technology has ensured that ordinary workflow is not obstructed. 

With lockdown restrictions gradually being eased, most employees are looking forward to getting back to their offices, however, many multinational corporations like Google, Facebook etc. still have their finger on the safety button allowing employees to work from home for most of 2021. Even mid-capped and smaller companies are enjoying this flexibility and keeping their operational options open. 

Many online platforms like Zoom, Webex and Microsoft Teams have gained prominence, and even old-age applications like Skype have seen a resurgence during these times. These applications have made communication easier, more secure, and easily available to employees. 

Work from Home is widely considered to be a containment option to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Although the virus caught most companies off-guard, they responded with tact and speed and the WFH initiative has proven to be highly productive and resulted in lower operational costs. It has also given much insight into the world of remote working and how technology can be used to leverage the smooth functioning of multinationals during a crisis. 

Organizations have seen a major boost in morale with employees enjoying flexible schedules, custom working environments, etc. Productivity has increased with fewer office distractions and increased focus on the job at hand. Time and money saved on commuting is another reason for employees to rejoice. Staying indoors also means more time with loved ones or simply getting some quiet time for yourself. 

One could always argue that the grass is always greener on the other side, but with cases rising every day, 2021 may not see companies rushing to return to pre-COVID work models. 

During these uncertain times, TraQiQ offers premier AI-powered solutions for the world’s top e-commerce retailers which identifies digital transformation strategies needed by companies to serve their customers better, and trends which could have an impact on their business.
