US' Ohi expands with ultrafast delivery in 4 new markets

The company has identified significant demand for ultrafast, hyperlocal delivery of its brand partners’ products in these cities and has grown its network of micro-fulfilment centres to offer quick, convenient delivery options to customers in these areas. The company’s inventory and order management platform provides SKU-level demand intelligence that allows its brand partners to optimally position inventory closer to their end customers. Ohi is committed to providing carbon-neutral delivery and its micro-fulfilment centres ensure that e-commerce orders travel only a short distance to arrive at consumers’ doorsteps, the company said in a statement.

Ohi further minimises its carbon footprint by using reusable, sustainable packaging and bike, e-bike, scooter and foot couriers whenever possible. The company also offers a carbon-neutral e-commerce fulfilment option to its merchant partners and their customers, the company said in a press release.

“We’re committed to helping power our brand partners’ growth by providing an excellent, on-brand instant commerce experience that includes quick and convenient delivery options. To help our partners reach and convert new customers, and drive loyalty and engagement among their existing customers, we’ve expanded our instant commerce platform into four new markets where our technology has identified exceptional demand for instant commerce,” Ben Jones, founder and CEO of Ohi, said in a statement.

“Ohi’s asset-light platform enables us to expand into new markets with minimal overhead costs. This is just the start of our aggressive expansion strategy that will enable us to provide an instant-commerce experience that covers close to 45 per cent of an e-commerce company’s overall demand by the end of the second quarter,” Jones added.
