🚀 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐔𝐋’𝐬 𝐃2𝐊 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐐𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦’𝐬 𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞? HUL’s bold move with its 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭-𝐭𝐨-𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐚 (𝐃2𝐊) strategy is a game-changing evolution in Route-to-Market (RTM) strategies, designed to counter the rising influence of E-comm and Q-comm. Let’s dive into 𝐇𝐔𝐋’𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭 for context: 🏭 28 𝐎𝐰𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 🤝 50+ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬  📍1 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲/𝐂𝐌 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 ~4,230 𝐒𝐪. 𝐊𝐦, ensuring exceptional proximity to demand centers. 💡 With coverage of ~9 Mn. Kirana/retail stores (~2.72 per sq. Km), HUL enjoys remarkable supply chain agility and reach. The Context India’s 950 𝐌𝐧. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 and 190 𝐌𝐧. 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 (~20%) are fueling rapid E-comm and Q-comm growth. Conventional Kirana stores, however, face a stiff challenge. Since over 80% 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐔𝐋’𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 comes from Kirana stores—driven largely by its 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐩𝐩 (~50% GT demand capture)—it was critical for HUL to fortify this channel. The Flanking Strategy: 𝐃2𝐊 To counter the speed advantage of Q-comm/E-comm, HUL launched D2K with a singular focus: 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲. 🗝️ 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: - Piloted in Chennai, HUL took control of 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭-𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 to slash the order-to-delivery cycle from ~3 days to <24 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬. - Expanded to Mumbai, with nationwide rollout underway. - Empowered distributors to focus on 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, while ensuring Kirana owners benefit from 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐲 and 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰. This evolution is reshaping traditional distribution models, integrating 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, and 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡-𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 to challenge modern-day competition. ✨ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧?

Take JioMart—by integrating 15,000+ kirana stores, they scaled to 5M+ daily orders. Their hyperlocal model cut delivery times by 70% and optimized costs, proving the power of localizing operations. Here’s how you can replicate this success in local markets: 🤝 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 JioMart’s network relied on Kirana stores for last-mile delivery, making local fulfilment fast and efficient. Strong partnerships with transport unions ensured smooth intercity movement, while district-level service centers streamlined returns. 💰 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 JioMart used regional insights to optimize delivery routes and negotiated bulk shipping with local transporters, reducing costs significantly. In low-volume areas, shared warehouses and consolidated logistics helped maintain profitability without compromising service quality. 📦 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼-𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Strategic placement of dark stores in high-demand areas formed the backbone of JioMart’s operations. A hub-and-spoke model designed for Tier 2/3 cities ensured efficient distribution, while dynamic inventory allocation kept up with regional demand patterns in real time. 📊 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 JioMart leveraged data to track SKU performance and forecast seasonal demand by state. This precision enabled festival-specific stock planning and aligned vendor capacity with local market needs, ensuring products were available exactly when and where they were needed. 💡 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹, 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘉𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘺 𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦.

It involves various activities such as procurement, transportation, inventory management, warehousing, order fulfilment, and distribution, all aimed at ensuring that the right products are available in the right quantities at the right locations and at the right time to meet customer demands. This involves the planning and coordination of activities across the entire supply chain, from raw material suppliers to manufacturers to distributors to retailers and ultimately to consumers. The widespread adoption of online shopping and the continuous growth of e-commerce platforms have led to a surge in demand for hashtag #retail logistics services. As consumers increasingly prefer shopping online due to its convenience and broader product selection, the pressure on logistics providers to handle these orders efficiently and swiftly has intensified. Retailers and logistics companies need to meet these expectations to retain customer loyalty. This has resulted in the need for logistics solutions that can ensure timely deliveries and often pushing companies to optimize their hashtag #supply_chain and distribution networks. Real-time tracking or demand forecasting and inventory optimization technologies have become vital tools for retailers to ensure they have the right products in stock and ready for shipping. hashtag #E_commerce allows businesses to reach a global customer base. As companies expand their operations internationally, logistics becomes even more complex due to cross-border hashtag #shipping, varying regulations, and different customer expectations. This has prompted the development of international hashtag #logistics solutions and strategies. Moreover, in the highly competitive e-commerce landscape, efficient logistics can serve as a significant differentiator for companies. #Lalji

Package delivery might look very different in a few years. Here’s why and what I’m watching 👀 ➡️ Delivery There’s been a flood of new players. [too many, actually] Many focus on less middle mile touches. Via sortation and routing technology. The challenge with this model? Consistent orchestration of third-party resources. [first/middle/final mile] The viability of these solutions comes down to 5 things: 1. Generating demand 2. Providing consistent service levels 3. Scaling if/when demand materializes [while still executing] 4. Providing access to the network/services [beyond the largest shippers] 5. Taking volume from UPS/FedEx [and keeping it] Many retailers don’t trust asset-light models. [this mindset is changing …slowly] They require market evidence as validation. Retailer mindset is the key for another group. Providers focused on delivery experience. [and LTCV, return on shipping expense] Retailers still view shipping as a cost center. Instead of taking a holistic view of shipping. It’s a tough sell in a cost-focused market. These providers can only succeed if retailers’ mindset changes. ➡️ Package sortation Package sortation plays a large role in metro area/local next-day delivery. This will grow in importance. As inventory moves closer to demand. ➡️ Fulfillment Deploying inventory close to demand is the unlock. Several providers offer 1-2 day national delivery. It’s based on a distributed fulfillment network. ⬇️ Optimizing inventory placement ⬇️ THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN ECOMMERCE LOGISTICS Inaccuracy can crush margins. But, it can be a game changer. ➡️ Multicarrier shipping solutions These solutions can optimize a diverse carrier base. I’m most interested in one solution which: Supports the entire customer delivery experience [browsing through delivery] With... -Order sourcing -EDD calc -carrier service optimization -tracking/visibility and analytics ----- That’s a partial list of what I’m watching. What about you? What am I missing? #ecommerce #logistics #innovation
