Grocery and hyperlocal delivery apps built for tight delivery windows
Custom software for this vertical — scoped to your workflows. Not a packaged product we resell, and not a claim that we run every company in this space.
Hyperlocal and grocery delivery lives or dies on whether the stock shown online actually exists on the shelf right now — an item marked available that's out of stock at pick-time is the single fastest way to lose a customer's trust in a 10-to-30-minute delivery promise. We build grocery and hyperlocal delivery platforms: real-time inventory synced across dark stores or partner outlets, fast catalog browsing and checkout, delivery-partner apps with batching for multiple orders, and the ops dashboard that tracks SLA performance per store and per rider. We size the architecture to the delivery promise you're actually making — a same-day model has very different inventory and routing needs than a 15-minute quick-commerce promise, and we don't default to over-engineering a slower model's problem.
What a grocery & hyperlocal delivery build usually includes
- Real-time inventory across dark stores or outlets
- Fast catalog browsing and one-tap reorder
- Delivery-partner app with order batching
- Live order tracking with tight ETAs
- Store-side picking and packing workflows
- SLA dashboards per store and per rider
How we approach a grocery & hyperlocal delivery build
- 1
Confirm the delivery promise and store model
Dark store, partner-outlet, or hybrid — and the actual delivery SLA you're targeting — since these decisions drive the entire inventory and routing architecture.
- 2
Build inventory sync before the storefront
Real-time stock across locations is the hardest and most important part; the customer-facing catalog and checkout are built once that sync is reliable.
- 3
Launch delivery-partner app and ops dashboard together
Rider assignment, batching, and live tracking ship alongside store-side picking workflows, so every side of the order lifecycle is covered from day one.
Stack we often reach for
Frequently asked questions
Can you support a 10-30 minute delivery promise?
Yes, but it requires real-time inventory sync and tight dark-store proximity to be genuinely honest — we'll tell you upfront if your current store density can't support the SLA you want to advertise.
How do you keep stock counts accurate across stores?
Inventory syncs in real time from store-side picking confirmations, with buffer thresholds and low-stock alerts so a listed item is rarely actually unavailable at pick-time.
Can delivery partners batch multiple orders?
Yes, the delivery-partner app supports order batching by proximity and time window, which materially improves rider efficiency once order density is high enough to matter.
How long does a grocery delivery platform take to build?
A single dark-store MVP with inventory sync, checkout, and delivery tracking ships in 10 to 14 weeks; multi-store rollout with SLA reporting runs 4 to 6 months.
