Sdefy provides a comprehensive suite of features tailored for
short-distance e-commerce, making it ideal for businesses aiming
to increase local engagement without the complexities of shipping
and handling. If you're a business seeking to enhance your
local presence, or a consumer exploring local offerings
before making online purchases, you've come to the right place.
One significant challenge for local businesses is maintaining price
competitiveness. While many stores can offer competitive prices, they
often hesitate to advertise these prices due to potential impacts on
profitability. At Sdefy, we've developed an app equipped with the
necessary tools to help buyers and sellers negotiate prices that are
private and mutually satisfactory.

app stores. For android based smartphones that would be Google Play

neighborhood.
The App has 5 tabs. We have provided a quick description of some of
the major features. The best way to learn is to download and play
around.
