Local businesses in Coimbatore go digital, expand markets, compete with big players

Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) technology service provider Digiit.AI Cloud, has onboarded about 50 local businesses in Coimbatore to the ONDC platform since 2022. The latest to be onboarded is Transze, an electric vehicle logistics provider.

According to Karthikeyan Arumugham, managing director of Digiit, Coimbatore is among the pilot cities for the ONDC project. The platform, he said, gives opportunities for small businesses to not only go digital but also offers several other facilities that enables small businesses to play like the big ones.

Transze has a fleet of more than 20 vehicles in Coimbatore, and will be used for logistics services for other MSMEs that have been integrated onto the ONDC platform in Coimbatore, he said. “There are 15,000 to 16,000 orders a day in Coimbatore. We need more logistics players. The early ones will get better opportunities.”
