Buncha Co-Founder and CEO Bharat Pulgam joins Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga to discuss a smarter way to think about last-mile delivery, i.e. giving customers scheduled weekly neighborhood deliveries at a fraction of the cost.In this podcast, Chris and Anne go deep with Bharat on:- The misconceptions around speed vs. convenience, especially when the former is far more expensive- The economic value of scheduled neighborhood deliveries both for consumers and for retailers- How such a model increases pick and pack efficiency (by enabling orders to be processed in stores overnight) while also significantly lowering delivery costs- And why the whole concept may just be a radical new way to think about localized fulfillmentIt is a concept that draws many parallels with how airlines operate and one that is sure to challenge your conventional ways of thinking about e-commerce.
