What WareIQ does

We are building an on-demand Fulfillment network and all software tools in a central platform which is required for an Etailer to manage their eCommerce Fulfillment operations. Etailers connect all their stores to our platform and send us their inventory. Whenever an order is placed on any of the channels, our Decision Engine allocates order to the nearest Warehouse holding the inventory, and right courier partner to pick & deliver to the end customer.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building an on-demand fulfillment network combined with a central software platform for eCommerce sellers. Our platform connects sellers' inventory across multiple stores to our system. When an order is placed on any channel, our decision engine picks the nearest warehouse holding that stock and selects the right courier to deliver to the customer. This lets sellers offer faster, reliable delivery without building their own logistics.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, and will base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bengaluru is where we have our team and network in supply chain and logistics tech. India's eCommerce market is rapidly growing here, and being close to our customers and fulfillment partners is critical.
