Case Study: Urb-it launches personalized one-hour retail deliveries with BearingPoint

Urb-it launches 1-hour deliveries in Stockholm with BearingPoint

Urb-it sought to launch a pioneering one-hour personalized delivery service within the retail industry, aiming to solve challenges like slow e-commerce deliveries and a lack of integration between retailers' online and offline channels. They engaged BearingPoint to help create their foundational strategy, an extensive business plan, a business case, and an operating model plan to bring this innovative concept to market.

BearingPoint conducted a comprehensive market analysis, assessed retailer readiness, and examined the technical requirements for a custom IT platform. Following this, they supported the operationalization by helping to bring retail partners onboard, develop the employment model, and manage the IT platform development. As a result of BearingPoint's work, urb-it secured initial funding, successfully launched its service in Stockholm, and was well-prepared for international expansion with signed retail partnerships and a recruited team of associates.
