After the order is accepted by the grocery shop owner, the next step is to get the order ready for pickup by properly packaging it. The grocery delivery agent can be from private or contract delivery service providers or if you have the resources you could develop your own supply chain.

The new grocery delivery app developers should partner with existing delivery service providers as they usually might not have the resources to build their own delivery chain. Contract base manufacturing has its own pros and cons which should be analyzed carefully and then the final decision regarding it should be made.

With the development of the business at a rapid pace, the organization should try to develop its own delivery chain as it would be cost and performance efficient. Self-owned delivery chains will also have to invest in delivery vehicles of various sizes.

So developing your own delivery chain would need a huge amount of resources for the successful development of the Instacart App.
