households almost for like three four times in a month.

and how long he has been associated with the service of bigbasket
forms a huge data for the customer service department.
5. • Data analytics has been helpful for the company in stock replenishment. So
basically it is an inhouse development. Wherein they understand what kind of
stock have replenished in past one week or one month.
• This gives an idea as to how much really needs to be stocked and thereafter the
list of products is forwarded to the merchandisers.
• They are able to replenish in the warehouse in an automatic way. This has really
added value in terms of lesser stock outs to the customers and better
experience. Therefore, the customers don’t have to face more and more stock
outs when they want to make a purchase.
6. • Secondly, they have a unique feature of Smart Basket. The company tries to
understand how each customer buys, what kind of products he has brought in
which categories and it populates the smart basket for the customer. So when
the customer really comes to buy it almost predict what kind of products he is
likely to purchase next time.
• It reduces the shopping time to less than five minutes for the customer. This
will save time of the customer and become more convenient for shopping.
