While the e-market players sell to the consumers who are their end-users of the products, we have replicated the entire process to suit us in our vision to help the retail segment. From using the distribution networks followed in India to technology, ours is a back-end chain offering a solution to mom-n-pop stores to buy food, beverages, stationery, toys, pharmaceutical products, mobile and electronic products etc.’ comments Sahil when asked about why the platform is different.
This model helps in getting retailers access to online consumers.
They have over 60,000 retailers onboard and confident of providing their services to over one lakh of these businesses in the next 100 days.
They have even deployed on-field executives who assist retailers in not only registering themselves on the Just Buy app but also educating them on how to use it and place orders. This might turn out to be a brilliant middle ground in the commerce war that we see between online and offline retailers.
