#DevShark Tour - Smoother E-commerce
Turn your idea into a product demo. Join the hackathon with hundreds of developers. Get your hands on +50 000€ in prizes. This bootcamp is aimed to help you get a fast-start to Slush Hacks, so you can be better prepared, learn the tech and get feedback on your ideas.
The training is free for all. All attendees should bring their own development machine, equipped with their preferred development environments and the appropriate Azure SDK downloadable from http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/
This technical training will focus on the Ultrahack Smoother E-commerce -challenge by Posti and the Azure Cloud Challenge by Microsoft, through which you can win additional 10 000€.
Develop an app to make everyday e-commerce logistics smoother with e.g. gamification, more effective operations and improved processes through usage of data. It can be an easier way to follow your parcels, handle return logistics - or ways to prevent returns in the first place.
How does the cloud play into this challenge? What if we could do to Posti what Uber did to Taxis and make everyone the postman? What if your neighbor or a complete stranger could delivery your package? We could use Machine Learning to understand who is the most appropriate courier for you, based on location, distance, type of package, type of delivery method, reliability and other characteristics. Or maybe you need a cloud to store the data in and backend for your mobile app to track the delivery?
