Data Science In Supply Chain Transforming the way Kiranas Function

Most Indians have certainly visited nearby Kirana stores for last-minute purchases. These stores form a crucial part of the Indian retail ecosystem that is based on demand and supply. This supply chain, however, faced numerous challenges such as wastage, delays, and unreliable payment mechanisms. This resulted in lost opportunities and customers. 

While innovative technology has paved its way into every aspect of our lives, these stores are also adopting new technologies that ensure little to no disruption in the supply chain. The core of this tech-driven way of functioning is data science. E-commerce platforms are the key elements that power the transformation of how Kirana stores operate. Some aspects that have been simplified due to data science are as follows- Inventory management, price optimisation, customised products, access to structured credit systems, and more.
