Sukamart, Sumitomo's Online Grocery Store

The next time your soap, toothpaste, shampoo or other toiletries run out, which one do you choose? Go to the nearest shop to buy the equipment or choose to go to the internet and buy your necessities online online? The second option is now available for those of you who are too lazy to do the first choice.

PT. Sumisho E-commerce Indonesia, a joint venture of Sumitomo Corporation and PT. Sumitomo Indonesia, last Wednesday announced the launch of Sukamart. Sukamart is a site E-commerce which offers more than 1.000 everyday household products for the people of Indonesia.

The products offered by Sukamart are products that you can find in grocery stores or supermarkets retail some kind of Alfamart or Indomaret near your house. Personal equipment, food, beverages, home and kitchen supplies, health care, and baby care are product categories provided by Sukamart. Sukamart claims to provide these products with quality services and competitive prices.

This service to buy daily necessities was also provided by Carrefour some time ago. The difference is, Carrefour in a service called Click and Drive In this case, users are still required to come to Carrefour supermarkets to pick up the items they have previously selected online online. Sukamart provides more convenience because the goods purchased by the user will be sent within one to two working days.

Well, this is where I think is Sukamart's weakness. With incredible penetration, grocery store or retail such as Alfamart and Indomaret may be right next to your house. You should not waste a lot of time and not get stuck in traffic to go to the nearest grocery store to buy daily necessities. The one to two days it takes Sukamart for delivery, feels long when compared to the half to one hour it takes to go to the nearest grocery store.

Sukamart itself remains optimistic by targeting sales of 100 billion Rupiah. According to Taketo Kokubo, President Director of PT Sumisho E-Commerce Indonesia, various products, competitive prices, easy to use, and fast and reliable delivery processes are the advantages offered by Sukamart to achieve this target.

Sukamart is also still developing its business, among others, by expanding product categories and increasing the number of products and building storage warehouses outside Jakarta to expand the delivery network. For payment methods, in addition to the transfers currently available, Sukamart will also provide other payment methods cash on delivery in these weeks. Furthermore, Sukamart also plans to accept credit card payments, internet banking, and other convenient payment methods.

So, are you ready to buy toothpaste online? online?
