How does Quick Commerce Work?

Quick Commerce works by leveraging technology to streamline the ordering and delivery process. Customers typically place their orders through a website or mobile app, which is then transmitted to a local fulfillment center/Dark Store which is closest to the customer location. The fulfillment center prepares the order and dispatches it to a fast delivery fleet service who delivers it to the customers at their doorsteps, who delivers it directly to the customer.

To ensure fast and reliable delivery, q-commerce companies often use advanced logistics and fulfillment technologies and here is exactly where Vinculum’s Quick Commerce Solution comes into picture.
