SnappRetail secures $2.5m to digitise retailers in Pakistan as it expands coverage 13 cities by 2024

SnappRetail

Big retail is dominating consumer communities around the world and Pakistan is no different. Fintech startup SnappRetail is empowering micro and traditional retailers in Pakistan with a suite of digital solutions to help them remain relevant and competitive. In doing so, SnappRetail is today announcing a $2.5m pre-seed funding round to expand the business across Pakistan. The round was led by Zayn Capital’s BitRate Fund with participation by Antler and Century Oak Capital. Based on Crunchbase data, this is one of largest pre-seed rounds raised in the sector in the country. SnappRetail offers retailers point of sale (POS) tools and a digital operating platform - a micro enterprise system for end-to-end shop operations - that helps traditional retailers to grow their margin and revenue while helping micro-retailers upgrade who are losing out to growing modern supermarkets because of inefficient operations, inadequate cash flows, and cluttered in-store display. Through the deployment of SnappRetail POS hardware and a sales driven data optimization operating system, they will get access to micro credit for working capital, ability to accept digital and card payments, unlock cost efficiencies and grow their sales. SnappRetail was co-founded in 2021 by Adeel Rasheed (ex-Unilever), Moazzam Ali Khan (ex Unilever/L'oreal), Ahsan Aziz (ex TRG) and Moiz Ali (Ex Primatics Financials). SnappRetail is their second startup venture having previously founded retail recruitment consultancy Resource Linked which placed employees at over 100,000 retailers. They have seen up close and first-hand the spread of the retail industry across Pakistan. Retail is the second biggest contributor to Pakistan’s GDP at $170b and an industry comprising 3m businesses. Adeel Rasheed, CEO and co-founder at SnappRetail commented: “It’s hard to believe that retail, which is such a significant contributor to Pakistan’s GDP, is still run on pen and paper. Little to no data exists for these businesses to make meaningful decisions and, critically, to seek finance to help them succeed. They are missing out on revenue and We are moving retailers from manual ways of working to digital ways of working in all their daily tasks for the shop. We anticipate this change in approach will help them increase revenue by 25-50%.” Moazzam Ali Khan, co-founder at SnappRetail added: “Our ambition is to support retailers and we will collaborate with the industry because the true winner will be the customer in terms of product choice, service and price. We believe that the whole retail and startup ecosystem is working towards improving the livelihoods of the traditional retailer, grocery and beyond. We are trying to create an ecosystem where all aggregators and other applications can come in and take advantage of our base platform. With our pilot we have seen that retention is very high and gross transaction value through the system is extremely high vs any other play.” Faisal Aftab, General Partner & Co-Founder at Zayn BitRate Fund commented: “Being a proven concept globally, there is no doubt SnappRetail has the right approach to solving the essential problem of the retailer. We were particularly impressed by the experience and maturity this founding team brings to the table, hitting the right balance between hypergrowth and managing the burn. This balance is the need of the hour as SnappRetail gears up for national and eventually international success.” Jussi, General Partner and Founder at Antler, commented: “Having invested in similar plays globally, we have witnessed the immense market potential of this sector. We have been thoroughly impressed by the vision SnappRetail brings to the tech industry of Pakistan and are looking forward to seeing them build up on their great progress.” About SnappRetail SnappRetail is a complete retail operating platform that empowers traditional retailers in Pakistan to grow their margin. SnappRetail is a digital operating platform that empowers traditional trade retailers in Pakistan to grow their margin and revenue helping reshape micro-retailers/kiryana-stores in Pakistan, which are losing out to growing modern trade and supermarkets due to inefficient operations, inadequate cash flows, and cluttered in-store display.

GETIR IS THROWING IT BACK TO THE 1990s

Getir

Today, with inflation continuing to raise prices on common household items including food, rapid grocery delivery app Getir announced it would roll back the cost of several popular food items to prices that haven’t been seen since the 1990s. According to the Department of Labor, grocery prices increased by 1.3% in July from the prior month, and rose 13.1% in July from one year ago – the fastest annual pace since 1979. “The global inflation crisis is hitting major U.S. cities very hard, and prices continue to creep up, particularly when it comes to everyday household items,” said Langston Dugger, Head of U.S. Operations at Getir. “Getir is committed to providing value to our customers, so we decided to offer some of our top products at more affordable prices.” Items featured in this promotion include Jif Creamy Peanut Butter, Vlasic Kosher Dill Pickle Spears, Hershey’s Milk Chocolate, and several brands and varieties of dish soap, toothpaste, and breakfast cereals among other foodstuffs. In some cases, the price reductions are quite dramatic; for example, an 8 ounce bag of Lay’s Potato Chips normally sells on Getir for $4.99, and will now be offered at $1.89. A full list of 1990s-priced items is available below. “This promotion, in addition to providing a nostalgic way to offer savings to our customers, is emblematic of what the Getir brand has been associated with across Europe for years: convenience, reliability, and a commitment to providing the best possible customer experience,” added Darienne Page, Head of Public Engagement at Getir. According to experts, food-related inflation shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. Getir’s promotion, which launches this week in its U.S. markets of New York, Chicago, and Boston, will run through September 23rd. About Getir: Getir is the pioneer of ultrafast grocery delivery. The tech company, based in Istanbul, has revolutionized last-mile delivery with its “groceries in minutes” delivery proposition, offering approximately 2,000 everyday items to its customers. Getir has operations in all 81 cities of Turkey, and launched operations in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal and the United States in 2021. Getir is, first and foremost, a technology company that operates in retail and logistics. It was founded in 2015 by Nazim Salur (founder of BiTaksi, Turkey’s leading taxi app), Serkan Borancili (founder of GittiGidiyor, acquired by eBay in 2011), and Tuncay Tutek (ex-PepsiCo and P&G executive in Europe and the Middle East.)

VOLT

The Volt Inu team is excited to announce that its token ($VOLT) will soon be available on the Gate.io exchange. As its founders explained, this listing is just the latest milestone in Volt Inu's go-to-market strategy. Gate.io is a world-leading digital asset trading platform with millions of registered users. The exchange offers a wide range of tokens and features an intuitive user interface. Volt Inu's listing aims to speed up the mass adoption of the $VOLT token. What Does the Latest Listing Mean for Volt Inu? Gate.io, one of the world's leading crypto exchanges, is listing Volt Inu ($VOLT ) on its platform on September 9th. This Tier 1 listing is a significant development for Volt Inu, as it opens up the token to a much wider audience and to some of the biggest exchanges in the world. Gate.io is one of the most popular exchanges in the world, with over 6 million registered users. This listing gives Volt Inu a significant boost in visibility and legitimacy. Therefore, investors will be looking at its impact on the token's price. Volt Inu is a relatively new entrant to the cryptocurrency market, but it has already made a big splash. The team behind Volt Inu has impressed investors with their strong track record and commitment to delivering value. This move is a new step following the success path of Shiba Inu ($SHIB) after its listing on the same platform. Back in April 2021, Shiba Inu's price was just $0.0000002. However, after being listed on Gate.io, its price surged by 175X to almost $0.000035 in less than a month. This listing is a big vote of confidence from Gate.io in the potential of Volt Inu. It is an important step forward for the team and the project. Crypto enthusiasts will be careful to see how this operation will impact the trading activity on the $VOLT token.

The upcoming Chainlink SmartCon event in New York City will have VOLT as a sponsor. The operation aims to increase the project's public image and attract new users. Additionally, the team has started an extensive billboard campaign across the United States that will last four months. The team believes this operation will make people more aware of the project and its purpose. Moreover, drivers for Uber Eats and Doordash are spreading the word about VOLT to their clients. These food delivery services are popular among people of all age groups, making this marketing method potentially effective. Finally, the project has a vast marketing campaign going on in Columbia. This campaign aims to educate tens of thousands of people about cryptocurrencies and Volt Inu. The team hopes this will increase the project's visibility and attract new users. About Volt Inu Volt Inu defines itself as a hyper-deflationary ecosystem that offers users a wide range of features. As its founders explained, investing in VOLT means investing in a basket of diversified assets. Among these assets, Volt Inu’s website mentions NFTs, altcoins, stablecoins, and others. Volt Inu implements an automatic 2% burn tax on ETH and another automatic 4% burn tax on the BNB Chain. These mechanisms wish to guarantee a rising price floor by reducing the circulating supply, giving the token a deflationary nature. Volt Inu has attracted much attention from the crypto community thanks to its innovative approach and strong marketing strategy. The team wishes to deliver value to investors, and the listing on Gate.io is a step forward for the project. With a wide range of features, Volt Inu is well-positioned to accelerate the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies. Volt Inu's website provides additional helpful information on the project. Furthermore, the team frequently uses the social media pages below to keep in touch with its large community base.
