How many times has it happened that a nearby customer ordered a product from your store, and you couldn’t deliver it because you did not have delivery agents? This problem persists with most grocery stores, chemist shops, online pharmacies, food delivery shops, home cooking ventures, etc. Many sellers lose out on customers who live close to the store because they cannot deliver the products on time, or they do not have the necessary resources.
Today, no buyer is interested in waiting for more than 24 hours or a maximum of 48 hours to get their products delivered. Moreover, buyers who need groceries wouldn’t want to wait more than a few hours to get the items to their doorstep. Hence, it becomes necessary to be able to have a system in place that can help you provide these products timely and efficiently.
To ensure that sellers can reach out to maximum customers directly without the delays of pick up, processing, and delivery Shiprocket has come up with a new venture. Shiprocket’s hyperlocal delivery services are designed to enable quick hyperlocal deliveries. Read on to learn all about the offerings– Hyperlocal Delivery Services
