Blowhorn, the same day delivery platform, says that with its newly launched retail store pickup service, brands can save up to 55% in inventory cost and enjoy 4x faster deliveries.  


Blowhorn, a same day delivery platform, has announced that it has launched a new service to help brands with better inventory management. Blowhorn has introduced retail store pickups that will allow brands to cut down on inventory costs and reduce time to deliver its products by having it delivered on the same day. This service will be particularly beneficial for metro cities, where the average delivery time for non-grocery items is more than two days.

This new service offers a solution that enables brands to utilise their current inventory in their offline stores to service online customers, in turn reducing inventory replication costs and improving last mile delivery times, says the company. 

“Our goal at Blowhorn has always been to find innovative solutions that help businesses overcome logistical challenges. We understand the pain points that businesses face when it comes to managing omnichannel experiences and ensuring timely delivery to their customers. With our new offline to online retail pickup service, we are able to address these challenges head-on by utilising the network of retail stores across the country as mini warehouses. I believe this move solves the logistical challenge of maintaining inventory for variants in products across warehouses & retail stores and is set to revolutionize the way in which brands manage their inventory,” said Michael Strong, Head of Growth at Blowhorn. 

Through this offering, brands can ensure that their customers always have access to a wider range of inventory with faster SLAs, according to Blowhorn. The service is currently available in all the metro cities and the plan is to extend it to Tier-2 cities by the end of this year. 

The company says it is operating this service for some of the leading brands in eyewear, clothing and footwear categories including shop-in-shop formats.
