Scale delivery operations

Scale delivery operations with multiple fulfillment channels

Grocers lose potential revenue due to limited fulfillment capacity during peak season demand. Brands need to stay prepared to handle demand fluidity while not inflating operational costs.

The Locus platform helps you

  • Effortlessly respond to fluctuating grocery order fulfillment demands and allocate delivery volumes to the best-suited fleet mix
  • Optimize and ship perishable items while keeping a check over unexpected demand hikes

Unlock delivery opportunities

Unlock more delivery opportunities with high FADR

E-grocery delivery needs to take the customer’s convenience into account. Delivery plans need to be created considering the availability of resources, the shelf life of food items, and preferred delivery windows.

A better First Attempt Delivery Rate (FADR) also helps in making more deliveries per day. The Locus platform offers

  • End-to-end automation and routing based on programmatic alerts
  • Higher FADR without inflating delivery costs

Dynamic dispatch planning

Discover new efficiencies with dynamic dispatch planning

Gaps in route planning can result in delayed or missed deliveries, extra cost consumption, and missed SLA targets.

The Locus platform offers

  • A single interface through which the dispatcher can see, plan, and allocate orders efficiently
  • A bird's eye view of every new order, which helps in moving the order to the matching batch

Handle order allocation

Handle order allocation and dispatches within a small window

Meeting the customer’s delivery expectations while offering them a delightful experience is a pressing challenge in the e-grocery market.

With express delivery and same-day delivery coming into the picture, dispatchers have to allocate and dispatch orders within a very small window between the order and delivery time.

The Locus platform enables

  • Intelligent batching and dispatching of shipments based on delivery preferences
  • Providing faster delivery options through route planning capabilities

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

  • The customer places the order on a grocery app or website
  • The delivery partner of the business or the business receives the order
  • The order details are sent over to the dispatcher
  • The dispatcher assigns the on-ground personnel to fulfill these orders
  • Finally, the customer receives the order

  • Generates more revenue
  • Provides customers the choice to choose their brands
  • Saves the time customers spend to checkout
  • Win buyer trust with fast fulfillment
  • Easy to expand customer base
  • Makes your shipping process easier

  • Difficulty managing and catering to express delivery, dynamic customer demands, and time slot deliveries.
  • Dispatch planning in a small window
  • Ensuring on-time delivery of perishable goods

Yes, you can. With its proprietary geocoding engine, Locus alerts when there are errors in dispatch addresses and converts them into accurate geographical coordinates. This ensures your drivers reach the right destination.

By factoring delivery zone, vehicle capacity, and time windows, Locus’ platform helps you easily manage all your zone-based SLA and resources effectively. This eliminates overlapping routes where two vehicles don’t serve the same delivery zone.

By providing white-labeled tracking links with dynamic ETAs, Locus’ offerings help your customers know the order progress. Its programmatic alerts help you spot deviations, delays, and delivery exceptions and solve them quickly.

Say, you’re delivering perishable goods like eggs to a customer, and there is a weather problem like a hurricane. By using Locus’ offerings, you can quickly notify customers of breaches in commitments. It helps your business to reschedule deliveries ad-hoc and shuffle them in a way that accommodates exceptions on the ground. This ensures that your exceptions are resolved.

Locus’ automates the planning and dispatching of over 5000 orders daily with minimal human intervention.
