Jamaica’s very own Amazon?

[Jangle]

What if Jamaica had it’s very own Amazon? This is what guided Bancroft Wilson, an information technology specialist, to make a full commitment in crossing over from employee to employer. So, he thought of Wilson’s List, an e-commerce website that promotes economic development in Jamaica.

Wilson’s List is intended to make up for this shortfall. It hosts a number of other businesses that have also set up individual shops on the site. There, you can buy or rent everything you need, including cars, phones, toners for your printers, and jewellery. Shipping companies and post offices across the island are also benefiting from Wilson’s List, as they are the ones delivering some of these packages.

Halsall to roll out Q-Mall platform

Advanced Integrated Systems Limited, (AIS), a tech solution company formed by Douglas Hallsall some 30 years, is finalising plans for the soft launch of an e-commerce platform called Q-Mall next month.

The platform’s debut in October is expected to set the pitch for full roll out during the high shopping and festive season.

Hallsall has invested north of US$1 million in the venture for which he hopes to generate enough business from both seasoned and young entrepreneurs’ use of the platform to advertise and sell their products and services to break even over the next two years.

“Over 75 per cent of retail transactions are still settled in cash, and less than 15 per cent of Jamaicans have credit cards – a major impediment to e-commerce. Quisk solves that issue,” Halsall said.
