Women Enterprise Hub: A Web-Based Platform for Women Entrepreneurs

Abstract: Women Enterprise Hub is a web-based platform designed to support women entrepreneurs, particularly those involved in home-based and small-scale sectors such as handicrafts, clothing, jewellery and food products. Many women entrepreneurs depend on informal networks, local markets and scattered social media channels to promote their businesses, while information about government schemes, funding opportunities, mentoring and training is distributed across different sources. The proposed system brings these activities together through a centralized portal. The platform provides user registration and authentication, business profile management, product listing, marketplace functions, order processing, delivery estimation, government scheme information, mentor discovery and session booking, training information, reviews and suggestions. A database-driven architecture is used to manage users, businesses, products, orders and supporting services. The system aims to provide a structured digital environment that improves visibility, access to support information and interaction between women entrepreneurs, mentors and customers.
