Igniting Success with our
Business Associates
Operating on an ‘asset-light’ business model, we consider fleet owners, fleet aggregators, drivers-cum-owners, warehouse owners and workforce providers for warehousing and in-plant logistics services, as our key Business Associates (BAs). They are an integral part of our supply chain, as the primary support function, and we provide them with a supporting arm to address their expectations.
Our Business Associate life cycle management process addresses concerns and expectations of our BAs’. A dedicated BA Support function is a unique concept, which many of them admit to not having experienced in other companies before.
Digital Empowerment through One Touch Portal:
One touch portal is our digital platform for our BAs’, where their digital journey starts from the onboarding process. With the Bill Hub module, they can now upload the bills and check the status online. RFP through online mode has made the process faster and more transparent. Our vendors who are Android mobile users can download the app from the Google Play Store. The app can handle everything – from onboarding to SAP code generation, bill submissions, payment status, among others.

Supply Chain
Supply chain BAs’ are generally fleet operators/owners across the country. We continuously address issues related to drivers’ training, safety and availability of basic infrastructure for well-rounded hygiene and wellbeing.
Mobility
Business associates here are essentially aggregators, fleet owners and driver-cum-owners. Vehicles for this business are sourced from our Business Associates, Aggregators and Fleet Owners. The aggregators also provide services through DCOs (self-employed entrepreneurs) by either providing seed capital to finance the vehicles or providing working capital to run the vehicles.
