E-grocery is a business-to-consumer (b2c) setup for selling groceries online that offers quick deliveries, convenience, and customer value simultaneously.
A grocery supply chain works in different ways:
Wholesaler-to-customer distribution: In this method, the manufacturer sells the bulk of their stock to wholesale grocers, and they sell it to retailers. Finally, retail outlets sell those products to customers.
Specialty distributors: Manufacturers sell their products to a network of distribution brokers who sell them to grocery stores. The supply of fresh produce mostly goes through this kind of supply chain.
Direct-to-store delivery (DSD): Suppliers directly deliver the products to the retail stores in this DSD. The products fulfilled in DSD are placed in retailers’ distribution centers. Direct-to-store delivery deals with fast-moving and high-consumer-demand products.
E-grocery supply chain: Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, this supply chain model of e-grocery has started. Customers prefer this method as they can get their preferred time with a few clicks.
