Problem
The wholesale fruit business in India still runs mostly on traditional offline methods such as phone calls, physical negotiations, and middlemen. This creates several issues:
Lack of Price Transparency: Prices vary, and middlemen often control deals.
Delayed Payments: Manual invoicing and cash transactions slow down cash flow.
Limited Market Reach: Wholesalers depend only on local buyers, restricting sales.
High Wastage: Poor demand forecasting leads to overstocking and spoilage.
Gap in Current Solutions
Most existing platforms focus on B2C fruit sales (home delivery), while the B2B wholesale market is underserved. Wholesalers still lack:
A centralized digital platform.
Modern inventory tools.
Direct access to kirana stores, juice bars, and supermarkets.
