The second largest private sector bank in the country, the ICICI Bank on Tuesday unveiled its Digital Store Management platform. Through this the kirana stores will now be converted to online shops.

From inventory to billing to payment collection through PoS, QRCode and payment links - ICICI Digital Store Management platform helps the merchants to manage full in-store operations online.

This digitisation method will enable shopkeepers to take online orders from customers, thereby increasing their earnings.

What is Digital Store Management Platform

In this, merchants will get the facility of online in-store operation management. With this, you can make inventory, billing and payment collection through POS (point of sale), QR codes and payment links. ICICI Bank’s target is to convert 1 crore retail shops into online through the new platform. 

The neighbourhood store owner can quickly create an online store and start receiving orders from customers online in a few clicks, ICICI mentioned.

Who can apply

Any kirana store owner can apply for the Digital Store Management platform while they are applying for a PoS machine on ICICI Bank's Eazypay application for merchants.

Objectives

The objective of introducing this scheme is to ease the everyday needs of customers in the Corona era, as well as to promote shopping in a contactless and digital way. This will also help the shopkeepers to increase their sales.

How will the app work

The digital platform has three applications. The EazyStore mobile app, that helps a grocery store to set up an online store in flat 30 minutes. The EazyBilling app enables the kirana stores to track digital payments like UPI or debit and credit card. The owners can also manage inventory and order through this app. There will also be an option to create quick reports on sales, profits, GST among others.

The EazySupply app lets the neighbourhood stores place orders to their wholesaler or distributor online. This app saves time and also facilitates the small store owners to take advantage of various promotions and discount schemes offered by the suppliers, the bank said.
