FMCG E-Commerce in India is expected to grow by 50% in the next decade with online sales in the sector likely to touch $130 billion by 2025. A Boston Consulting Group report predicts that over 150 million consumers will be digitally influenced in the FMCG sector by 2020. The FMCG giant wanted to tap into the growing digital-savvy consumer segment and also empower traditional neighborhood grocery stores by bringing them onto the digital bandwagon. The company’s vision is to empower more than 15,000 retailers with this initiative.
How does it work?
The brand deployed Capillary’s MartJack E-Commerce platform for connecting consumers with neighborhood grocery retailers. This Omni-channel platform enables consumers to place orders from the web store, mobile site, and mobile app by selecting the nearest store. The selected store then processes and dispatches the order directly to consumers – thus offering Pickup from Store and Ship from Store options.
Why is it different – retailer’s view
• The platform enables retailers to obtain online orders without waiting for customers to step into stores.
• Retailers can easily select the products they want to sell from a global digital catalog thus eliminating the need to invest in individual catalog creation.
• An intuitive and user-friendly Order Management web app facilitates a simple process for order fulfillment.
Why is it different – consumers’ view
• The solution helps the brand provide a true “hyperlocal” customer experience by offering option to buy from trusted, neighborhood stores – by rendering the store specific catalog, promotions, and prices.
• A seamless customer experience across the web store, mobile site, and mobile app helps build customer trust and increases the conversion rate for repeat customers who switch channels.
