D2C Transformation: How We Scaled
Bottled Water Delivery Across India
A leading bottled water manufacturer faced a major problem when daily orders hit 7,000. They struggled to deliver heavy water cans (40kg+) quickly and cheaply. They also needed a way to collect empty cans and handle cash payments at the door. By partnering with Edgistify, they moved their stock into our Hyperlocal Dark Store Network. This allowed them to deliver water in under 4 hours, handle empty can returns instantly, and expand to new cities in just 7 days.
