Hawkr is a marketplace for homemade food delivery, operating in multiple cities of Malaysia. Their goal is to allow anybody to start a food business from the comfort of their own homes! Customers can order and taste local and international home-made food and get it delivered directly to their homes or offices.
Challenges Before Kosmo
Hawkr was facing multiple challenges in managing their delivery operations and ensuring each order was picked up from their numerous vendors and delivered to the customers on-time:
- Multiple accounts and couriers: Hawkr team was using different courier platforms to compare their live prices and expected delivery times and choose the most suitable carrier for each order. This resulted in high inefficiency and, often, higher delivery costs due to limited visibility on the couriers’ quotes. Placing orders on multiple delivery platforms also led to big challenges in tracking the live orders as the team was forced to jump from one dashboard to the other to keep monitoring all their operations.
- Multiple stores management: being a marketplace, Hawkr team must organise and manage deliveries for a large number of vendors with different pickup addresses. Most of the courier platforms don’t have yet an easy way to arrange different deliveries from multiple pickup locations, forcing the team to create one order at the time.
- Low couriers availability during peak hours: like for all food delivery businesses, low availability of delivery partners during peak hours is one of the main challenges. The team had to carefully monitor all their live orders and take manual actions in case of delay or cancelation from the courier due not finding a delivery partner to take the order
- Order tracking and status notifications: Hawkr’s logistics team must ensure that both the seller and the customer are constantly updated on the progressing of the delivery and on the different statuses
