Almost everything is going digital these days.
Yet, in reality –
Most local grocery stores, tea shops or small businesses still place orders over the phone or in person.
The question is –
Do they not want this? Or is the system not designed for them?
In this article, we will understand the real reasons in a simple way.
“We won’t use it” – this fear is the biggest obstacle
Many shopkeepers think –
“These apps are for big shops, they won’t work for small shops like us.”
Because –
- They have never used them before
- No one around is using them
- Fear of what will happen if they make a mistake
The truth is:
Digital systems are most useful for small shopkeepers –
Because it reduces mistakes and hassle.
Complex apps and English language problems
Most digital ordering apps –
- In English
- Many buttons
- Full of unnecessary features
As a result, shopkeepers think –
“Brother, how can I understand so much?”
Solution needed:
- Simple language
- Fewer buttons
- Only necessary tasks
Digital does not work if you do not understand local reality.
Even if you have a smartphone, you do not have a digital habit
Many shopkeepers have smartphones, but –
- They are basically limited to calls or WhatsApp
- No time to learn new apps
- Fear of losing money if you make a mistake
Reality:
No one gave you the opportunity to learn digital, so the habit has not been formed.
Suppliers are not digital either
One big truth – not only shopkeepers need to be digital, suppliers also need to be.
In many cases –
- Suppliers ask for orders over the phone
- Do not give anything in writing
- Not interested in using digital systems
As a result, shopkeepers cannot go digital alone.
“The way it used to be, it will continue to be” mentality
For many years –
- Account
- Phone
- Face to Face
This is how business is being run.
So change means –
- Hassle
- Waste of time
- New risks
This mentality is very natural.
Digital means big expenses – this misconception is very common
Many people think –
“Digital means it will definitely cost more”
But in reality –
- Wrong orders
- Waste of time
- Waste of products
All these combined result in higher costs if you do not go digital.
So what is the solution?
The solution is – a digital system that understands local reality.
Where –
- Easy language
- Easy to use
- Opportunity to learn gradually
- Both shopkeepers and suppliers are involved
