GetPY is a Bengaluru-based (India) venture that has built a business ordering app that is organizing the unorganized SMB sector in the country. GetPY helps small retailers and SMBs take their business digital by enabling them with technology for receiving orders online and delivery. In a matter of three years of their inception, they already have 800+ retail stores on their platform from different parts of the country.

Going back in time, in the year 2000 or the dot-com era, every retailer wanted to become an e-commerce giant. Today, if you go to any market street in a small or a big city, you will find that almost everyone has tried to sell online, but most of them have not been successful because of the following reasons:

1. Price War: Local retailers trying to become global was a disaster.
2. Syncing of inventory with the offline store.
3. Lagging in competitive marketing.
4. Limited product options for the end customer.
5. Logistics issues like delivery optimizations & returns.
6. Complex-to-use Tech.

GetPY understood these issues beforehand and has been working towards resolving them. Before their pivot, while doing their market research, they realized that building something that is simple-to-use is very important for their market segment. Their customers are not tech-savvy, and the language is a barrier. GetPY is working on partly solving those issues, and empower the sector to achieve better growth.

GetPY journey started in September 2017. Our initial product offering was a digital receipt along with thank you messages. In the backend, we were collecting the data from the receipts and doing consumer behavior analysis for the merchants which they could use to run their campaigns based on the user behavior and could connect with their customers. As we wanted to scale better, we pivoted our product to cater to ordering challenges also for the SMB industry.

6. What is your opinion on the importance of data for the growth of Small retailers? How do you facilitate the same?

Data is important for every business - small or big. If any business, fails to use data for growth, it’s preparing for failure. In our web app, the retailer can see what people are searching for (so that he can stock those items), he can see how many people have added products to their cart and not placed the order. He can also see complete consumer analysis and basket analysis to design his combo offers.

7. How are you funded? Are you planning to raise any Funding?

Silicon Road Ventures has invested in us (pre-seed) and apart from that, we have won many Grants like Elevate Karnataka, Ajman university innovation challenge, and many others. Yes, we just started with our seed round.
