SnapBizz, bigbasket partner to tech-enable kirana stores

BENGALURU: SnapBizz, a retail-technology firm, has partnered with bigbasket, homegrown online supermarket, in an effort to transform India's kirana stores into technology-enabled modern retail stores. With this partnership, SnapBizz and bigbasket will enable the kirana stores to automate the supply chain and inventory management processes.

bigbasket and SnapBizz have created an auto-replenishment supply chain platform for retailers to give them a competitive edge. Based on business rules and predictive analytics, orders are auto-generated multiple times in a week by the retailer using the SnapBizz system, which is fulfilled by bigbasket promptly for both packaged and non-packaged goods.

With significant transformation taking place in India's traditional retail space, retailers are now focusing on the demand side and more efficient consumer engagements. To focus on these business-critical areas, retailers require simple solutions to comprehensively manage their supply chain dynamics. The platform created by bigbasket and SnapBizz not only addresses the supply chain challenges of the retailer but also significantly reduces the working capital requirements and frees up his time to attend to his customers and build upon his core strength, which is customer rapport and deep insights about their requirements.
