Bike taxi startup Rapido has launched ‘Rapido Store’, a new inter-city logistics service for businesses to deliver products at consumers' doorsteps.
The service can be availed by both offline and online businesses, and is currently operational in Bengaluru, Karnataka and Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh with plans to launch in new cities soon.
Rapido Store will help users track all their deliveries across customers simultaneously on a dashboard. The base price of the service starts at Rs 35 for three km in Bengaluru, and Rs 30 for three km in Vijayawada currently.
The bike taxi startup already has over 200 small and medium business users availing the logistics platform. Rapido Store will leverage the already existing fleet of captains (riders) to ensure prompt, quick, and secured deliveries.
The captains undergo training to ensure timely and safe delivery methods including mandatory safety guidelines such as the use of masks, gloves, and sanitisers.
