- 

A digital start-up from the Mahindra Group, Smart Shift has launched its operations in Chennai. It is the fifth city that marks the entry of the company. Signalling an expansion of operations, the start up company operates in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad. Working towards elevating the efficiency in the last mile transport space, Smart Shift is acting as a platform for cargo owners and transporters to work with each other, smoothly and flawlessly.

Ensuring a mutually beneficial relationship for both, the cargo owners and transporters, Smart Shift is an intra-city digital load exchange platform. Enabling efficient transportation from one point to the other, Smart Shift was developed to empower consignees (both businesses and individual users) to avail of an efficient service. They can access Smart Shift service through an Android-based mobile app. They can also access Smart Shift through a website, or the dedicated call centre. The key differentiator that Smart Shift brings to the last mile transport logistics space is the ‘reverse bidding’ feature. The app. successfully emulates the bargaining process between consignees and transporters. It allows them to close the deal at a mutually acceptable price.
