The e-consumer platform is coming with which you will see every day at phone you, the lowest prices of essential items in super markets, as well as fuel prices.
The Ministry of Development and Investment will soon operate the e-consumer platform with which in real time and by region you will be sent to your phone, the prices of the main productof supermarkets and gas stations.
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 an application for cell phones 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 obsolete e-prices.gr (price watch, no longer working), which did not work well as someone had to go to the e-prices website and choose a county from there. , after area, to see prices in a wider area, 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 them products and the prices, and thus the consumer will see on his mobile a complete price list of basic products, per store and according to the area he is in.
So, through the app you can directly compare prices without having to do various searches on your mobile screen.
The big difference for the e-consumer will be that the shopkeepers themselves will post their prices, while so far (fuel price observatory) prices are being updated at fuelprices following on-the-spot billing carried out at department stores and then posted in the observatory.
