Abstract

E-commerce in Ecuador has experienced a remarkable increase in recent years, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are still challenges to overcome, such as the lack of consumer trust in the security of online shopping or the scarce logistics infrastructure for managing shipments. Despite these challenges, the future of e commerce in Ecuador is promising thanks to the increased penetration of the internet and the improvement of payment infrastructure. The main objective of this research project is to contribute to the commercial department of MercantilMakamba Cia. Ltda. by implementing an E-commerce mobile application that aims to increase the company's sales and streamline the commercial process and communication with customers. To achieve the objectives set out in the project, several tools will be used to develop a fast, secure, and user-friendly mobile application. Tools such as the Flutter development environment for developing the frontend, Node.js for developing the backend, MySQL as the main database engine, and Firebase for storing multimedia files used by the application. Thanks to the efficient use of the aforementioned tools, an application focused on the customer and user, efficient, scalable, secure, and intuitive has been developed.
