E-commerce Website & Application

E-commerce (electronic commerce) is the buying and selling of goods and services online.

Ecommerce was introduced about 40 years ago in its earliest form.

Since then, electronic commerce has helped countless businesses grow with the help of new technologies, improvements in internet connectivity added security with payment gateway, and widespread consumer and business adoption.

COVID-19 Drives Ecommerce Growth.

COVID-19 outbreaks around the globe pushed consumers online to unprecedented levels. By May of 2020, e-commerce transactions reached $82.5 billion — a 77% increase from 2019. It would have taken four to six years to reach that number looking at traditional year-over-year increases.

Consumers have moved online to make purchases normally made in physical stores, such as food and household items, apparel, and entertainment. Many consumers say they’ll continue to use online storefronts even after the pandemic.

Grocery E-commerce

The Indian online grocery market is estimated to reach US$ 18.2 billion in 2024 from the US $1.9 billion in 2019, expanding at a CAGR of 57%. India's e-commerce orders volume increased by 36% in the last quarter of 2020, with the personal care, beauty and wellness (PCB&W) segment being the largest beneficiary.

Steps to start an online grocery business

1) Identify/decide delivery region

A major step in starting a grocery e-commerce business is identifying the delivery region or areas you will be serving. As fresh groceries or vegetables can be delivered to a limited radius of the delivery area, you need to plan accordingly to set up your office, warehouse or tie-up with local grocery shops to fulfil orders smoothly. 

 

2) Development of Website and App

This step is the backbone of the complete process of starting your grocery e-commerce store. Invest some time and thought into your goals and expectations for your agency. After the launch of your new site, we maintain a healthy relationship with you. Depending on how involved you are with the maintenance and publishing of content, we will assist you in your analytic reporting and ensure that your website is helping you reach your goals.

 

3) Arrangement of inventory / List grocers in the area and talk partnership opportunities

There are two ways to maintain inventory or stock, either you can keep your stock is ready in your warehouse or you can tie up with local grocery stores initially. The best way to start is by preparing a list of products (with their margins) you want to keep in the warehouse and accordingly, a tie-up with grocers who would be interested in this multi-vendor business model.

4) Develop local delivery system / Finalize delivery modules

As the grocery business relies on home delivery, sometimes it becomes a matter of concern. Many times same-day delivery options may not be possible due to the unavailability of vehicles which makes customers frustrated. Confirming the order and then not delivering the same will be the worst scenario. Presently, most of the established online grocery businesses are still using their funding capital to cover up the delivery charges.

5) Marketing / Customer Acquisition

You can easily market your online grocery store in a local newspaper, pamphlets, Bulk SMS, hoardings, door-to-door visits, society meetings and local SEO is also preferable.
