HYPERLOCAL COMMERCE & MERCHANT DISCOVERY

Enabling Scalable Hyperlocal Merchant Discovery Across a Pan-India Ecosystem

Client details withheld per NDA ,   Full case available upon request.

Leading Hyperlocal Commerce Platform India

On-Demand Delivery & Merchant Ecosystem

Multi-phase engagement, Pan-India rollout

70+ cities across India

THE SITUATION

A leading Indian on-demand convenience platform was expanding its hyperlocal delivery ecosystem by onboarding thousands of local merchants — grocery stores, meat shops, pharmacies, apparel, retailers, and pet stores — across India. 
The manual onboarding process was slow, inaccurate, and impossible to scale. The client needed a data-first partner to build a verified, city-level merchant intelligence engine that their sales teams could act on immediately.

WHAT INTIN DID
1
Strategic Problem

Segmentation & Approach Design

  • Analysed the operational burden of manual merchant onboarding and redesigned the approach — breaking the challenge into automated, category-level data acquisition workstreams that could run in parallel across geographies
2
Precision

Data Scraping at Scale

  • Deployed specialised data scraping capabilities across multiple merchant categories — covering food, personal care, household services, and retail segments — at street and locality level across a defined radius per city.
3
Data Verification

& Intelligent Sorting

  • Delivered verified merchant listings with contact details, Whatsapp details, location data, and business identifiers — sorted by business size and potential so the client's teams could prioritise high-value merchant outreach from day one.
4
Pilot

to Pan-India Rollout

  • Began with a controlled pilot across select cities to validate data quality and accuracy before scaling the full methodology to a Pan-India rollout — delivering large, verified datasets per city within rapid turnaround windows.
