Rise of electric vehicles in delivery businesses

Image
Technology has been shaping businesses for a long time. Take any business today and compare it with the way how it used to be operated only two decades ago and you’ll find out that the difference is enormous. Technological advancement helps businesses to adapt to the current times. It’s quite evident that all those businesses that have failed to adopt the latest technologies in their business have perished. It wasn’t a long ago when pen and paper were significant to restaurants as they were used to write down orders. Those were the times when advertising used to happen only via print and television and a coupon used to be an actual tangible newspaper. However, with technology, everything changed. Restaurants are now leveraging cutting-edge technology of mobile applications to unlock the option of  on-demand food delivery  to their customers. Like  restaurant businesses , delivery businesses are soon going to witness the change influenced by technology. I am talking about ele

On-demand delivery business opportunities: ideas, effective strategies, and the COVID-19 effect

Image
Over the past decade, the on-demand economy has rapidly replaced the traditional business models by offering the users with faster speed, better convenience, and advanced security. According to the stats, the on-demand economy is the most talked-about term since it has completely transformed the way various businesses used to run. Uber and Airbnb are credited for shaping the on-demand economy in the US. As per that stats almost 42% of the US citizens have used the on-demand services at least once. Moreover, as per the  Harvard business Review , the on-demand economy is adding a staggering amount of 22.4 million users every year. It’s also interesting to note that the on-demand economy has given birth to many business models and ideas which were earlier non-existent.  On-demand delivery  is one such model. In the absence of the on-demand economy, it was not viable to offer such services to the consumers. But nowadays, we see several on-demand services like food delivery, wate

How can you boost your taxi business with innovation?

Image
We all are familiar with saying “change is the only constant”. This philosophy is universal and is applicable to almost all aspects of our lives. This philosophy also fits when it comes to business. As businesses need to update and change themselves constantly to keep up with the unpredictable nature of the market. However, even after knowing this fact, many business owners tend to be ignorant. The decline of the traditional taxi business is the best example of it. Many traditional businesses stayed rigid even after  start-ups like Uber and Lyft  started disrupting the taxi industry. This rigidness or lack of innovation from these traditional taxi businesses caused their downfall. And this is something not only limited to the traditional taxi businesses as the app-based taxi businesses might also face the same end if they fail to innovate from time to time. So, now the question arises that what a taxi owner can do to sustain his/her taxi business over a long period of time
