Enabling better cash management and cash handling at last mile
Background
Swiggy is a leading food ordering and delivery platform in India. Swiggy acts like a bridge between customers and restaurants. It utilizes an innovative technology platform that allows customers to order food from nearby restaurants and get it delivered at their doorstep. Swiggy operates with its own team of delivery professionals who pickup orders from restaurants and deliver it at the customer’s doorstep. This has made the task of ordering food a lot easier for customers. Restaurants also gain by getting more orders and avoiding costs and efforts associated with maintaining their own delivery personnel.
Challenge
Swiggy is one of the largest food aggregators and highly used apps in the country. Swiggy delivery executives (DEs) were unable to deposit the amount collected from cash on delivery orders during the banking hours. Cash collected during evening and late night deliveries, would remain with the delivery executives until next banking day.
Carrying excess cash during delivery posed risky to the executives, additionally it was loss of cash inflow for Swiggy. The money management systems faltered and Swiggy incurred multiple losses.
