India is becoming a hotbed of hyperlocal delivery services that are mobile or web based and serving millions of users like never before. This year, many brands, including Google, launched their own application-based local service platform and services can range from food delivery, groceries, logistics services, home services, pharmacy to cashless transactions. The evolution of “Digital India” has only accelerated efforts leading to a more flexible, service-oriented, solution-focused and transparent business model in the mobile and web-based e-commerce industry. As they start to grow, they seem to solve more existing local problems. Building trust among customers regarding the delivery segment is one of the biggest challenges that drives the main players to be active in the market.

With most of the apps in this niche, you can set your product, menus, payment gateway, delivery schedule, and configure the various branding elements such as logo, color scheme, etc. You can change the appearance of your store in any way you want. This allows for greater control over your orders, product delivery, and business in general. As the customization of the store is quick and easy, with the click of a button, it does not require coding skills, developer or programming team on the part of the service provider.

Some apps are loaded with GPS-based routing and optimization, which means you can access them from anywhere and easily create routes and plans. Efficient delivery supports automatic order consolidation and the deliverer performance optimization feature in some mobile apps. Most applications offer service companies dedicated end-to-end support and customization.

Any application-based service company looking to integrate delivery services should look to whether they can collect information from their POS / website / application, optimize delivery system through Path and Deployment feature, one-screen interface, and access to all the main delivery companies, interface with CRM through a Point and Click interface and the ability to hire and organize / manage personnel directly from the platform.

Most applications, these days, use proprietary technology to increase end-of-business delivery with no capital investment for required application installation at the end of the user, no need to rely on on-demand delivery companies with options for build your own delivery network.

The ability for the hyperlocal delivery application to connect to a user’s POS or Web CMS is a welcome feature. This means that a company does not have to search for multiple platforms for different functions. The delivery application API must be integrated with the main POS systems available in the market. It should be easily customizable with existing user application features to suit requirements.
