Here comes the e-consumer platform that will see daily on your phone, the lowest prices of super market essentials, as well as fuel prices.
The Ministry of Development and Investment will soon launch an e-consumer platform that will send you real-time and region-wide prices of commodities from supermarkets and service stations to your phone.
The platform is expected to launch at the end of 2019 and using the geolocation service will send you the supermarket basic product prices and fuel prices in your area. That is, your mobile phone will tell you which platform you are on and your site prices will automatically come to you.
The whole process will be done through one applications for mobiles phones which will communicate with the platform of the Ministry of Development and Investments, and will be called e-consumer.
The e-consumer will replace the failed and outdated e-prices.gr (price watch, which is no longer working), which did not go well since to be informed one had to enter the by clicking here of e-prices and from there choose a prefecture, then a region, to see the prices in a wider region, like the Municipality of Athens for example.
It should do the same with now fuelprices.gr, where you can see the cheapest gas stations. He must first enter the site, then choose a county, then an area, and then the type of fuel.
In the e-consumer, the retailers themselves will post daily the prices of basic products that will be set by the ministry. Automatically, the platform will sort products and prices, so the consumer will see on their mobile a complete price list of basic products, by store and according to the area it is located.
So, through the app you can directly compare prices without having to do various searches on your mobile screen.
The big difference in the e-consumer will be that the shopkeepers themselves will post their prices, while until now (fuel price observatory) the price update in fuelprices is done after on-site receipts made in the stores by employees of the ministry and which are then posted at the observatory.
