“Necessity is the mother of invention”. I would say COVID is the mother of online Ordering. It was the pandemic that made online shopping an emerging trend, but in the days to come, it was preferred for convenience, comfort, and now for a pleasant customer experience. Selling through e-commerce sites was the only available option during the COVID scenario, but the commissions demanded were burdensome and impoverishing to small retailers, which made them struggle to survive in the market.

It was then the onus on the digital solution providers to develop online ordering and delivery solutions that aligned with the expectations of the target audience. The outcome was taking businesses online via branded mobile apps. It was a touch-and-navigate process that involved no request for a domain, no complicated coding, and no installation or maintenance charges. You could inaugurate your online business in less than five days. Gofrugal’s Ordereasy app was a product built for aspiring businesspeople who wished to thrive amidst the pandemic blues.
