Development of the Frontend Module of the Online Bookstore for Kyrgyzstan

In Kyrgyzstan, finding books online remains a time-consuming process. Most bookstores use social media platforms like Instagram, Telegram, or WhatsApp for customer interactions. When searching for books, customers must message sellers individually to inquire about availability and pricing, resulting in significant time inefficiency. While websites like Bookhouse (bookhouse.kg) and Raritet (books.kg) exist, they only display their own inventories. This research project focuses on developing the frontend module of a centralized platform that aggregates book listings from multiple bookstores in Kyrgyzstan. The platform enables users to search for books across different stores, compare prices, and view delivery options, thereby addressing the current fragmentation in the local book retail market. Statistical analysis demonstrates an 86.5% reduction in search time using the prototype platform compared to current methods, with usability testing showing an average 88.4% success rate across core functions. This paper describes the system architecture, implementation details, statistical evaluation, and potential impact of this solution on improving the book shopping experience in Kyrgyzstan.
