As Covid-19 continues to hamper business operations across domains, a lot of SaaS players are emerging in the Small & Mid size Business (SMB) space with customised solutions specific to small businesses. While large retailers have tied up with ecommerce platforms directly, smaller offline retailers, traders & enterprises have turned to SaaS players for tech enablement services.

Reliance Retail aims to be India’s largest Omni-channel retailer through its hybrid online-to-offline e-commerce platform, for which it is deploying merchant point of sale (M-POS) machines. Currently, there are 15,000 digitized stores in the country. RIL plans to grow this to 5 million by 2023.

Rising Digitalization in Retail Sector: Traditionally, most of the MSME in manufacturing space in India were not technology-enabled and lacked in product distribution capability. However, as MSME’s now have started adopting the ecommerce channels, they will be able to get a better range of products at a better price and at great quality service. More than anything, these kinds of convenience when extended to corporate, can consolidate the demand, be it in infrastructure, industrial parts, agriculture equipment, raw material and more.

Growth in Indian E-commerce Market: The India’s e-commerce retail sector has grown to 65 million monthly unique visitors, accumulating an annual increase of ~55.0%. India’s e-commerce revenue is predicted to grow at the highest rate in the world, growing at an annual rate of 51.0% and increasing to USD 120bn by end of 2020 from USD 30bn in 2016. The sector has witnessed an increasing demand for innovative solutions such as A.I. & machine learning algorithms to capture the ever increasing demand in a more standardized way.

Increasing Focus on SaaS Adoption: The corona virus pandemic has unleashed a ton of disruption for businesses at large, but small-medium businesses (SMBs) in particular have been impacted heavily. For one, these businesses are dependent on consistent revenue for survival and for sustaining employees. Now many who have not used technology or digital SaaS tools in their business have had to foray into online platforms for selling and procuring products and services. According to industry experts, more than 15-20 Mn offline MSMBs are expected to go online in the coming months to sustain their business and find a way to earn more revenue through various online distribution channels for both B2B and B2C products.
