When customer placed orders for any product from website or mobile
phone, the nearest warehouse receives the order.
The order gets assigned to a shopper. The shopper gets through the
aisles and picks all the items in order.
He checks for the right items ,taking care of proper quality and
quantity and keeping close eye on the expiry date.
All the items are carefully picked and placed in a crate.
The shopper hands over the crate at the billing desk.
All the items are then scanned and marked in the billing software.
2 bills are there, one for customer and other for the tracking .
The crate is further moved to packing and packed separately.
Every individual order is packed in a separate crate. And sealed using
plastic tags which helps in right delivery of items.
The crates are moved to delivery vans and delivered items to the
customer
