People want something so that their order can be easily delivered with 10-15 minutes. That is when quick commerce steps in. in regular commerce, there used to be a big warehouse for deliveries. But now in quick commerce, shopping sites are planning to have small warehouses every 2 kilometers so that they can deliver on time. Their main aim is to promote 10-minute delivery.
Why do Grofers opt for Quick Commerce?
Earlier many brands started the trend of faster deliveries such as swiggy, Dunzo, and big basket. The Grofers thought they might stay behind in this race. They analyzed that people are in search of quick commerce, they don’t want their order to take 2-3 days. In this way, customers don’t need to have a stock of items. They can just order the item whenever they need it.
Since people are busy in office works, managing their homes, and whatnot. Such quick deliveries can ave their time and effort of going to markets. Therefore the future of commerce is going to be quick. Now many such eCommerce sites will come up with quick deliveries. For example, Amazon is planning to deliver by drones.
The quick commerce business model of Grofers started back in august 2021 with aiming to deliver over 10 lakhs of orders in 12 cities in a week. In an interview, the CEO of Grofers said that they are planning to expand their business from groceries to daily use products such as chargers, safety pins, etc. In this way, they are going to be one of the biggest instant commerce brands.
