The Mart
Traditionally – grocery shopping is a family tradition which meant a great risk during the pandemic.
Although remote areas already had an eCommerce advantage, there were millions of communities who were excluded from getting their food and medication delivered and purchased remotely. One of the many reasons was, none of the existing platforms coverage even though hundreds of operational retailers and pharmacies existed. This caused most of the businesses did not meet the COVID19 restrictions to close down temporarily.

How We Work
The MART is a household store which retails products like self-medication, groceries, electrical appliances and garden equipment from a list of verified suppliers. The MART is location based and our shipment turnaround time is anything from 60mins and up to 7days – subject to product availability. The Online “congestion” period is surely approaching and obviously – not all business will have a fair chance to have an independent online presence. This has given smaller/Medium enterprises the ability to maximize revenue by putting their product on sale in their area of trade during the pandemic
Here we see suppliers that solely dependent on walk-in clients. In a perfect world, this would be “ok”. However a company that is not online seemed to be more crippled during the pandemic and more so in the coming era.
