The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed
BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a system and method for an online product delivery, and more particularly to a system and method for online delivery of food and/or farming products.
Description of Related Art
[002] Online shopping is a form of shopping where a buyer purchases goods, groceries, clothes, services, etc. over a communication network such as the Internet, through a web browser. Online shopping is also known as e-commerce, where a buyer/customer can shop for required goods from a seller over the communication network. The online shopping can be a business to business (B2B) process where a business buys goods from another business, or business to customer (B2C) process where a customer can buy the goods directly from a particular business. Since online shopping came into existence, it has eased the job of the buyer as the online shopping allows to compare a price, a customer service review, and dozens of stores and products before finalizing a deal. Apart from all the benefits, the online shopping has faced a lot of criticism in the past decade for example, the online shopping has killed an ability of a buyer to physically inspect or try items that are considered for purchase, or resulted in a delivery of fake products, adulterated, and impure items to the customer to earn an extra margin over a selling price.
[003] Conventional shopping platforms provided to deliver farming goods and articles have made farmers buy fake seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and other essential items for their fields. Similarly, the conventional platforms created a wall between the buyer and the seller, forcing the buyer to buy impure, adulterated groceries such as vegetables, fruits, spices, pulses, nuts, food grains, beverages, etc.
[004] There is thus a need for a system and a method for a transparent online product delivery and services between consumers and sellers.

The sign in tab 430 may enable the user to sign in after authenticating by entering an One-Time Password (OTP) using the OTP window 426, in an embodiment of the present invention. The notification module 220 may be configured to enable the user to check notifications of the online product delivery system 100. In another embodiment of the present invention, the notification module 220 may be configured to redirect the user to the notification panel 432 when the user enables the notifications tab 342.
[0055] FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary business to customer (B2C) business model block diagram 500 of the online product delivery system 100, according to embodiments of the present invention. The B2C business model may comprise warehouses, service centers, distribution centers, stores, and delivery boys. In an exemplary scenario, the B2C business model may work in an offline mode for the farmers, where the farmers may buy fertilizers, pesticides, seeds directly from the service centers. According to embodiments of the present invention, the service center may be an offline place where the farmer may directly visit to book fertilizers, pesticides, and seeds. The service centers may also be enabled to sell the farming products to the farmers. In another exemplary scenario, the B2C business model may work in an online mode for the consumers and the farmers, where the consumers may access the delivery application 116 to book crops. The farmers may access the delivery application 116 to book fertilizers, seeds, and pesticides. Further, the distribution centers may receive food products and farming products from the warehouses, the distribution centers may send the food products and the farming products to the stores. The delivery boys may pick up the farming products and the food products from the stores and deliver it to the consumers within the default delivery time.
[0056] FIG. 6 illustrates a flowchart of a method 600 for online delivery of products using the online product delivery system 100, according to embodiments of the present invention.
