In Colombia the startup Rappi has set its mission to become the everything store of Latin America. Rappi, unlike Amazon, focuses on instant deliveries. Like Amazon they want to have a wide variety of products and services. Currently they will deliver groceries, food, alcohol, pharmacy products and, more recently, apparel and electronics.[2] They also offer a courier services which will run your errands, pay bills and deliver cash.<\/p>\n

As a 3-sided market place Rappi has managed to generate value to all the players in the market place by using innovative business models<\/p>\n

Value to Consumers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daily food delivery and grocery shopping has now become easier than ever for the citizens of +40 cities in 7 countries across Latin America. Through Rappi, consumers can order from over +3,000 restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries and receive their food under an hour[3]. In addition to this service consumers can also order groceries in under an hour, get someone to run and errand or rent a scooter through the app.<\/p>\n

One of the most valuable services recently included in the app is Rappi pay. Rappi pay is an electronic payments system through which users can transfer money to each other or pay at merchants with their phone. This functionality is extremely seamless and easy to use which makes it better than any banking platform available.<\/p>\n

Value to Restaurants, Grocery stores and CPGs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rappi has built a secondary revenue stream by creating partnerships with CPG companies. Rappi charges CPG companies marketing fees to guide consumers to their products within the app and to display adds. Additionally, to increase the utilization of its couriers in low demand hours Rappi offers CPGs the opportunity to deliver sample products. By levering Rappi\u2019s consumer data CPGs can choose specific customer profiles to send the sample product.[4] Companies like Coca-Cola have sent as many as 100,000 bottles of gift products in one month.[1]<\/p>\n

Rappi is constantly adding new categories to the platform to achieve higher ticket transactions. They recently signed a deal with Sony to be the exclusive seller in Colombia of its PlayStation products like video games and other items.[1]<\/p>\n

Value to Couriers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rappi has 50,000 couriers that make more that 30 order each month. Thanks to the flexibility of the platform, Rappitenderos (how they call their couriers) work in Rappi as many hours as they wish and get paid per order. For many people with lower levels of education working in Rappi fulltime gives them the opportunity to generate 2x the minimum wage.<\/p>\n
