Hashtag you

Project description

Modern business is often conducted through third-party vendors. If a decade ago it happened mostly offline, now the situation has changed and the main site is online platforms. Business owners have to follow celebrities and famous people on social media to benefit from their services and promote products. Properly selected influencers significantly improve sales volumes and accelerate business development. However, the search for such people is a time-consuming process. So, companies need a software product capable of processing significant amounts of information in search of those relevant and crucial to a particular enterprise or individual. Hashtag you is developed to meet these demands and enable businesses to simplify the search process and find the necessary information in minutes.
