Dukaan simplifies inventory management with magic upload

Dukaan, a leading SaaS platform to create online stores, revolutionizes the retail industry with easy-to-use technology and unique features for both merchants and end-users. The startup has recently added a first-of-its-kind feature that simplifies digital cataloging and inventory management for any size retail stores.

Dukaan, founded in May 2020, is a DIY platform that enables merchants with zero programming skills to set up their eCommerce store using a smartphone. It powers over 2 million small and medium-sized businesses across India to start, grow, market, and manage their businesses over the internet in multiple businesses like grocery shops, restaurants, fruits and vegetable stores, electronics shops, fashion and apparel, jewelry, furniture stores, among others. Dukaan has been funded by Matrix Partners and Lightspeed India Partners.

'Magic Upload' is a built-in feature of the Dukaan app for merchants that allows them to upload the inventory to their online Dukaan store in 1/10th of the original time. This feature requires the merchant to click a picture of the inventory, and each product in the picture is automatically categorized and uploaded into their Dukaan store along with the price within seconds. This saves time spent digitizing your catalog and inventory management and efficiently utilizing their time and resources.

Summit Shah, founder, and chief executive officer of Dukaan, said, "Retail is the backbone of the economy, and building tech solutions to simplify time-consuming tasks will help the industry grow at a rapid pace. At Dukaan, we aim to revolutionize and simplify retail for both the merchants and the buyers and promote entrepreneurship and self-reliance. With our efforts, we are looking to have 20 million merchants open their digital stores on our platform in the next one year."

With over 6.6M of Kirana stores in India, over 70M small merchants, and India's smartphone market set to cross the Rs 2-trillion mark in 2021, the need for digital solutions for daily problems are much needed.

In less than a year of inception, Dukaan now powers over 2 million small and medium-sized businesses across India, with over 7M products added across 40 different categories on the app. Dukaan has reached over 5000 cities, and Dukaan has received more than 10,00,000 orders. Dukaan recently raised US $ 6M funding from Matrix Partners and Lightspeed India Partner.
