The
Department of Science and Technology is now
seeking for oneSTore hubs regionwide as it opened the door to public and
private entities who are willing to engage in the e-commerce platform.
E-commerce is the buying and
selling of goods and services, or transmitting of funds or data over an
electronic network, primarily the internet. These business transactions occur
business-to-business, business-to-consumer, consumer-to-consumer or
consumer-to-business.
Engr. Jonathan Nuestro,
Provincial Science and Technology Director of DOST II said, this aims to help
DOST-assisted Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) widen the scope of
their target market and promote quality products thru oneSTore, an e-commerce
web application that operates nationwide and caters primarily to Philippine
consumers.
"Proponent's location
should be within urban area and has a warehousing facility of at least 20
square meters with readily available computer and internet access of
24/7", he added.
Furthermore, the entity owner
should be willing to manage oneSTore hub account, assist DOST in monitoring and
evaluating the hub, transact business with courier companies endorsed by the
DOST, respond to orders within 24 hours of placement and especially carry out
payment process and delivery.
Through the existence of
oneSTore regional hub, the transactions of orders will be made easier building
relevant information to facilitate E-marketing of MSMEs and help increase
income not only the MSMEs beneficiaries but also qualified entity.
Interested individuals may
contact Mr. Alexander A. Apostol, Science Research Specialist II and Regional
Coordinator for inquiries and additional information at 09178408258. Moreover,
any entity who will be qualified for the oneSTore hub will enter into
memorandum of agreement with the DOST, Mr. Nuestro ended.
