D-MART VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS
PRIMARY ACTIVITIES
DMart focuses on buying in bulk directly from manufacturers, storing products efficiently in
INBOUND regional distribution centers or warehouses to minimize costs. They maintain strong
LOGISTICS relationships with suppliers for consistent stock availability and better margins.
DMart’s efficient operations involve maintaining just enough inventory in stores to ensure a high
OPERATIONS inventory turnover ratio. The layout of its stores is designed to reduce operational costs and offer
a seamless shopping experience.
Since DMart primarily operates brick-and-mortar stores, the outbound logistics involve supplying
OUTBOUND products directly to customers from stores. It ensures products reach stores quickly, reducing
LOGISTICS stock-outs and enabling consistent availability.
DMart doesn’t invest heavily in advertising. Instead, it focuses on providing consistently low
MARKETING &
prices to attract cost-conscious customers. It builds brand loyalty through its value-for-money
SALES strategy, resulting in a large and loyal customer base.
Although DMart doesn't offer high-end customer services like premium retailers, they focus
SERVICE on ensuring basic services such as clean stores, fast billing, and good availability of products.
Since it is primarily a grocery retailer, there isn’t significant after-sales support required.
