Implementing Remote Access Smart Tag Printing For Kimberlite

Abstract

This thesis was developed for a new way to approach the flea market business with a feature helping an existing platform called Kimberlite, which provides a platform for customers to engage in flea markets currently in the Ostrobothnia region. Currently operating in Järkikirppis Oulu, the flea market establishment provides a digitalizing feature to modernize the flea market business. Table owners gain a platform to market their products and increase visibility for all the different tables and their contents. Kimberlite also offers a SmartTag system to prevent issues like traditional tagging frauds or missing tags on items. Kimberlite also features a program to scan items in a studio to provide presentable images and descriptions of the items being sold with the help of artificial intelligence.

The thesis project is initiating a new way for Kimberlite to sell tags with better efficiency. With a remote access feature, customers can order tags before bringing them to their tables. As most of the backend of the project has already been established, this project will focus on the front-end implementation and explaining how it works with the existing system.
