GENERAL QUESTIONS
About iAPPS Creator.
Start here if you are new to the platform.
iAPPS stands for “Innovation of Apps”. The platform is focused on practical digital tools and business software for Indian MSMEs.
iAPPS Creator is a digital solutions platform focused on practical software and online business tools for Indian MSMEs. The broader solution set includes business directory listings, websites, e-commerce, billing, service management and custom business applications.
The platform is designed primarily for Indian MSMEs, including shopkeepers, retailers, wholesalers, service centers, manufacturers, professionals, freelancers, consultants, artisans and other growing businesses.
Many small and growing businesses need digital tools but do not necessarily need complicated enterprise systems. iAPPS Creator focuses on practical capabilities that can help businesses establish an online identity and gradually digitise everyday operations.
Innovation of Apps represents the idea behind iAPPS Creator: using software and application technology to turn practical business requirements into useful digital tools.
The products are intended to support business users rather than require them to become software engineers. The objective is to make common digital business activities easier to manage.
BUSINESS DIRECTORY
Questions about business listings.
Create a public digital identity and help customers discover your business.
The planned Business Directory offers free business listings with a dedicated public profile and no listing expiry.
A business directory listing provides a public digital profile containing useful business information such as the business name, location, services or products and contact options.
A dedicated public business profile gives customers a place to learn about the business, understand what it offers and find ways to contact it online.
The business profile is designed to provide customer contact options, including direct enquiry opportunities such as WhatsApp where configured.
The planned Business Directory offers free listings with no listing expiry.
Yes. Local businesses are one of the key audiences for the Business Directory. The objective is to help businesses establish a public online presence and make useful local business information discoverable.
DATA ARCHITECTURE
How is business data separated?
A core part of the platform approach is keeping individual business information separated.
Each business is designed to have its own separate database rather than sharing one common customer database. This supports stronger separation, ownership and portability of business information.
The isolated database approach is intended to keep one business's operational information logically separate from another business's information. It also supports a clearer model for business ownership and data portability.
No. The planned architecture is based on separate business databases rather than placing all businesses into one common customer database.
Data portability means business information is structured with the objective of making it easier for the business to retain and move its own information when required.
Database isolation is an architectural separation mechanism. It is one part of a broader security model and should not by itself be interpreted as a guarantee of complete security.
Business systems can contain customer information, transaction records, operational information and other valuable data. Keeping business information properly separated is therefore an important part of responsible software architecture.
