    PROBLEMS FACED BY THEM

    Availability of Branded Products:


    Consumers have different preferences of brands, some of
    which are not available at times! Then it becomes difficult
    to make those available due to which the store owners lose
    their customers.

     Quality Issues: Sometimes products received


    from vendors are not of good quality and hence the
    customer is not ready to buy those products which results in
    the loss of income.

     Perishable products: These products have


    shorter life span and hence has to be sold completely within
    a specified period of time. Thus limited stock is kept. If
    there are less customers then it results in wastage and if
    there are more customers then it results in loss of revenue.
     Issues with carry bags: Customers
    do not bring bags and hesitate to pay for
    carry bags, thus resulting in loss of revenue
    and affects customer retailer relationship.

     Storage Issues:
     Limited Space: Limited stock, intense packing of
    stuff.

     Tight Packing: Intense packing of products like


    biscuits, wafers, etc leads to damage thus creating
    loss.

    All these damages result in loss which shop


    owner has to bear.
    Weather Conditions: Bad weather conditions
    lead to damaging the product. For ex: In rainy season due
    to extra moisture in atmosphere, ready snack items and
    biscuits which makes them moist are not suitable for
    selling.

    Payment Issues: Customers face problems with


    payment such as online payment is not accepted, if online
    payment is available then many a times, there are network
    issues, etc. Storeowners refrain from taking online
    payments as they fear the payment may get delayed or may
    not happen due to some technical issue.

    Delivery: Lack of delivery system. Due to shortage


    of staff , door to door delivery is not possible.
    PROPOSED SOLUTION: COMMON PLATFORM

    • An app based common platform between the grocery store owners can be created where
    information related to availability of products can be shared, delivery mechanism is
    established and concerns related to quality can be addressed.
    • When a customer approaches the grocery store and asks for a particular product, and the
    product is not available at the store, the owner of the store can make it available by using
    the platform from another nearby store where the product is available. This way, the store
    owner does not lose his customers and makes sure that the customers gets the products that
    they want.
    • Using this solution the delivery problem can also be solved. All the retailers on the
    platform can use the same delivery mechanism which has been established on the platform
    for their doorstep deliveries. This will help particularly to store owners who has limited
    workers and cannot allocate their time for deliveries.
    • Through this common platform, following
    problems can be solved.
     Availability of Branded Products
     Quality issues
     Storage Issues
     Delivery
