What they do:
1Trolley is an end-to-end SaaS solution that offers three main components, white label demand generation tools including loyalty, supply chain solutions for middle and last mile as well as payment solutions with integrated payment gateways. This enables their customers to reach their target audience, deliver goods quickly, within an hour, and not worry about various integrations including loyalty schemes and payments.
Why we invested:
Local businesses and large FMCG companies are struggling to compete against dark stores and global hyperlocal delivery players. To level the playing field, they require delivery systems that are typically beyond their financial reach. 1Trolley offers a comprehensive solution, enabling businesses to digitize their operations and provide locally sourced products to their community. Additionally, their delivery partners benefit from access to local opportunities.
