Businesses in hyperlocal marketplaces selling commodities across categories are gaining massive popularity in recent times. In 2019, this industry received its value at $1,324.2 billion and now it is expected to reach $3,634 billion by 2027 at a CAGR of 17.9% between 2021 and 2027. This industrial growth inspired a number of entrepreneurs to create their successful marketplace story and provide comfort and convenience to buyers. One such inspired hyperlocal success story is “Power Tools Near Me”.
Power Tools Near Me is a multi-vendor marketplace running on a hyperlocal business model in India. It is selling power tools for drilling, mixing, and cutting through registered vendors. Buyers enter their location after landing on the marketplace to detect the availability of vendors and their products. They can also choose vendors as per their preference.
At the time of its development, ‘Power Tools Near Me’ described its requirements of multi-vendor and hyperlocal provisions to myEplatform, a digital marketing company. Its requirements later led to the association with Cedcommerce which created a wonderful hyperlocal success story.
Challenges faced by ‘Power Tools Near Me’
One of the biggest challenges for ‘Power Tools Near Me’ was spreading the hyperlocal marketplace business throughout India followed by shipping and delivery issues. Along with it, a large section of the Indian population finds themselves not very technically savvy and avoids buying online. There is a tendency to depend on the brick and mortar stores and the somewhat lackluster technical infrastructure could not completely encourage them to purchase from the internet.
India also practices the implication of GST rates on products. The hyperlocal marketplace website was facing the problem of miscalculation as it was failing to conduct this practice. This problem posed a severe risk to marketplace growth because it was not able to display product prices correctly.
Moreover, marketplace expansion throughout India and nearby vendors delivering power tools to customers called for the need for a hyperlocal system. It needed to register the location of customers to assign available vendors. But, the concept of hyperlocal was introduced recently that people are still new to. Therefore, the technical support for this system was weak due to which control on vendors seems difficult. There is no effective E-commerce marketplace success story till now.
