When MS Superstores was founded a century ago, it began as a simple home store in Trinidad, providing quality household essentials at affordable prices. The business has significantly grown, serving customers throughout the Caribbean.

At heart, however, it remains the same family-run business serving its local community. When owner Ravil Sookhoo wanted to make shopping even more convenient for its customers, he developed a digital vision for the business' future. That is when MS Superstores leveraged AllRide's delivery platform to launch Insta Express and redefine eCommerce in Trinidad and Tobago.

Inspiration

Handling multiple product lines, multiple vendors, multiple orders

As the latest generation in the brand's story, Ravil wanted to expand Insta Express' business further than ever before: globally.

Ravil needed an eCommerce delivery platform capable of facilitating his vision of scaling the business' delivery of multiple product lines from multiple vendors across departments, including apparel, sporting goods, homewares, furniture, and electronics.

“We want to improve lives around the Caribbean with a convenient and reliable way to purchase affordable and quality household essentials.”

Ravil recognized the hassle customers experience with multiple apps, so he was keen to create a 'one-stop' interactive platform capable of managing the business brands, models, and varieties, as well as its collective pricing model.

Ravil hoped that this future vision for Insta Express would benefit from a smart delivery system designed to save time through automation while ensuring the business and its customers benefit from real-time insights into order processing.

Collaboration

Finding an experienced partner to support business growth

Equipped with a clear vision for the future, Ravil sought an experienced partner capable of delivering his vision for Insta Express.

When he approached AllRide, he learned about its team's years of experience and the proven capabilities of AllRide Delivery.

It's designed to maximize a business's flexibility, productivity, and profitability and can easily manage multiple vendors, orders, and products.

Impressed by the platform's fully scalable, customizable capabilities and the team's proven development process, Ravil selected AllRide Apps as his project partner.

Working in close partnership

Working in close partnership with Ravil and his team, designers at AllRide conceived engaging designs for the Insta Express Retail application.

Once approved, the development team created a prototype. Sharing this with AllRide's experienced testers and Insta Express team members allowed for the rigorous testing needed to ensure customers benefit from the highest standard of user experience.

  • eCommerce website and app for customers
  • App for delivery agents
  • Delivery Management System
  • Vendor and Admin Management Panels

The customer application is more than visually engaging. It's built around the needs of end users - ensuring the multi-order processing and seamless navigation necessary for a user experience that is quick, easy, and hassle-free.

The solution's smart delivery system ensures customers have continuous access to interactive support. Once an order is placed, they benefit from information at their fingertips, thanks to its real-time tracking capabilities.

Automation

Delivering vendors with An outstanding support

The website offers multiple vendor support and provides customers with the easy navigation they want.

The Delivery Management System, for example, features a Dispatch Panel, - ensuring Ravil, his team, and his vendors benefit from real-time insights. Easy to use, the panel offers the most critical information clearly to users.

It also provides access to an automated inventory management system - allowing stock control in real-time. Working in this way simplifies workflows and saves time.
