With a vision to extend their unique physical mall experience into the digital realm, Inorbit partnered with GreenHonchos (GH) to launch India’s first hyperlocal eCommerce mall. However, Inorbit Malls encountered several challenges in their journey towards hyperlocal eCommerce. A key hurdle was showcasing their vast inventory and brand catalog effectively to local shoppers and ensuring efficient, quick delivery to nearby customers. Integrating omnichannel logistics and resolving disjointed delivery management systems were critical operational challenges as well.

GH addressed these challenges by implementing a composable commerce tech stack, transforming Inorbit Malls into a digital marketplace that integrated all stores across various locations. The Team GH introduced an online slot booking system, allowing customers to browse products online and experience them offline in-store. To drive footfall and enhance customer engagement, geofencing and geotargeting technologies were leveraged, along with video commerce for enhanced product visualization. A robust digital strategy based on consumer behaviour data was developed to optimize performance, ensuring the transformation was both impactful and sustainable.

This strategy highlights how malls can benefit significantly from embracing digital transformation. By adopting hyperlocal eCommerce strategies, malls can offer customers the flexibility of shopping both online and offline, creating a unique hybrid experience that caters to today’s consumer demands. Malls that incorporate omnichannel logistics, data-driven strategies, and innovative customer engagement technologies can increase footfall, improve operational efficiency, and elevate the overall shopping experience, positioning themselves for sustained growth.

Over the last few years, the GH team has successfully implemented its digital transformation framework with India’s leading mall groups helping them integrate digital solutions that blend seamlessly with physical retail operations. Through tailored omnichannel strategies, advanced technology implementation, and data-driven insights, GreenHonchos has built proven and tested capabilities to enable malls like Inorbit to expand their reach, enhance customer loyalty, and thrive in the evolving retail landscape.
