StoreHippo Launches Next-Gen Solutions for Brands Planning to Win the Quick Commerce Battle

StoreHippo has come up with a comprehensive hyperlocal marketplace solution and a detailed dealer/vendor management solution to cater to quick commerce brands looking to break away from the typical inventory-based quick commerce model.

 Quick commerce, or fast eCommerce delivery under 10–30 minutes, has ushered in the new era of eCommerce.
