Amazon launches Smart commerce for local stores
Amazon on Wednesday launched a Smart Commerce initiative for local stores to transform into ‘digital dukaans’. With Smart Commerce, stores will actually want to make their own online storefronts to digitize their offline shops, Amazon said as its Local Shops on Amazon initiative, which allows shop owners to sell to clients in their local area through Amazon, finished two years in April.

“We are humbled that in a brief period, the program has already grown to more than 1.5 lakh stores across India. Inspired by this momentum, I’m eager to report the launch of Smart Commerce,” said Amit Agarwal, SVP, India, and Emerging Markets, Amazon at the organization’s annual virtual summit Amazon Smbhav.

“Stores of any size can now take advantage of the Amazon to give a dependable encounter to their clients regardless of where they are, in their physical store, directly through their own online storefront or amazon.in,” said Agarwal. The drive is important for Amazon’s commitment to digitize 1 crore small businesses by 2025. Since Amazon’s launch in India in June 2013, the organization has previously digitized 40 lakh small businesses.

Amazon said its Smart Commerce program will release the first set of solutions in the coming weeks to help local stores digitize billing and inventory management.
