Next-day shipping reshapes enterprise supply, cash flow

E-commerce startups that cater to enterprise clients and retailers in the country are boosting their ability to shorten delivery timelines, hoping that same-day and next-day deliveries will enhance buying experience and result in improved cash flow in the supply chain.

Tiger Global-backed unicorn Moglix, which supplies industrial tools and equipment, now delivers more than 10,000 stock-keeping units (SKU) by the next day, within a few months of rolling out quicker deliveries. This is in contrast to its previous timeline of 96 hours prior to August 2024, according to its founder and chief executive Rahul Garg. All of the firm's 5,000 monthly orders are now fulfilled the next day.
