Who it’s for

Consumer brands with compliant packaging, stable supply and city-level inventory.
Products suited to fast-delivery demand and unit economics.
Existing marketplace brands expanding to quick commerce.
Teams capable of fill-rate, expiry and replenishment discipline.

When you may not need it — Avoid onboarding when margins cannot support platform commercials, shelf life is too short, supply is inconsistent or the category/brand is not accepted.
