Introducing Team JOSHi & The Journey It Prevailed
Team JOSHi believes
Nutrition, health and sports are the themes of the game because they affect each and every one of us personally and have a huge impact on our lives
Like in every successful business, it requires a hardworking and dedicated team to help it progress. JOSHi Marketplace for health, nutrition & sports has an enthusiastic team in the form of Bernd Payer, Elisabeth Katzensteiner & David Autumn, who are currently managing the marketplace to take it to its success.
Basically – I personally think that marketplaces are the future in the online-selling-market
Bernd Payer
The idea of setting a healthcare marketplace was formed in July of 2017. It started to set up its development team in October 2017 and by May of next year, Joshi.at was all set to be launched online.
JOSHi marketplace is currently based in Austria and it is providing the web services, the payment process and the marketing for all vendors on the platform (social media, SEO, newspaper, online marketing, etc.) so that the vendors can concentrate on their products and services. It does interviews and blog posts for all its vendors as well. It also tests all products with the JOSHI team before they actually decide to launch the vendor's shop online.
What Drove ‘JOSHi' Into Getting Dokan
Bernd Payer- JOSHi Founder
I tested a few ones but Dokan was the only one which fits our requirements
JOSHi Founder Bernd Payer was looking for a few weeks to find a fair-priced vendor software for WooCommerce which gives him the highest flexibility and best interface for vendors and admins.
After testing several marketplaces he found only Dokan to be an easy-to-use solution and since he was not a developer, so he needed a solution that helps him to concentrate on his business rather than getting him tangled in complex codes. This is when he realized Dokan is the perfect solution for them to build their WooCommerce based healthcare marketplace.
Marketplaces nowadays are growing faster than ever and Dokan works pretty well with 3rd-party-plugins and other themes that give Team JOSHi huge flexibility.
Bernd Payer, Founder JOSHi
Dokan is a solution for us to provide a fully automized shop-in-shop-system with a very helpful commission-calculation and reports to do all financial details with the vendors
So now JOSHi is using Dokan for its idea to provide a multi-vendor-platform in nutrition, health and sports. With Dokan now his vendors can offer goods or bookings. Every vendor has different shipping conditions and is doing the shipping themselves. All the vendor gets a separate profile-page where they can present themselves and their services with text, pictures videos and as well as interviews.
Certainly, all these reasons were enough for the founder of JOSHi.at to turn to DOKAN– The WooCommerce based marketplace solution that he was badly looking for.

A healthy life does not have to be complicated and exhausting!
Team JOSHi
Team JOSHi feels that in this vast and thick jungle of the Internet, it is often difficult to find those high-standard local providers of nutritional concepts and sound exercise.
The effort & ideas of vendors and producers often remain ineffective if they do not spend enough time and money on marketing or advertising. This is where JOSHi believes that they can come in handy making the products of all those Austrian producers of healthy products visible and wanting to introduce all those top-notch providers in the sector of health and sport out of the curtain.
We want to make healthy, regional and sustainable food easily accessible
Team JOSHi
With the rise in consumption of sugary, preservatives-filled fast foods, health diseases are at their peak. So, with JOSHi's network of quality suppliers and growers, it looks into encouraging as many people as they can into leading a healthy life and that too without the need of investing too much time in research and purchasing.
Moreover, in the future, JOSHi wants to make access to sports, health, and nutrition as simple, uncomplicated, and modern as possible.
A Few Words of Recommendations
Lastly, leading its way to success with Dokan, Team JOSHi's expectations with it has also reached sky-high. Along with the many praises for Dokan, Team JOSHi also shared its expectations & future recommendation for it.
Being a Europe-based marketplace, JOSHi has to deal with a complicated shipping & tax system. And, since it is not possible to cart different products from different vendors with different taxes, therefore the check-out needs to be done vendor per vendor at the moment. In some cases, this can play as a vital drawback for more such marketplace in Europe that is recommended to be solved soon.
Moreover, along with suggesting some recommendations for Dokan, Team JOSHi was also praised for its friendly and helpful support team. And expected more innovative features to be added in the armory of Dokan in the future updates keeping the standard and quality intact.
