Nanostores are critical household suppliers in emerging markets. In Latin America, approximately 35% of households use this channel for daily purchases. However, nanostores face numerous challenges when sourcing, including fragmented demand, reduced negotiation power, limited storage, and cash flow constraints, which lead to stockouts and supply chain fluctuations. Urban factors, such as traffic congestion and delivery inefficiencies by suppliers, exacerbate these issues. This case study examines the sourcing challenges and dynamics of nanostores in three typical Latin American cities and explores their supply chain strategies. Furthermore, this study examines another collaborative strategy involving suppliers and policymakers to enhance nanostore operations.

摘要

Nanostores are critical household suppliers in emerging markets. In Latin America, approximately 35% of households use this channel for daily purchases. However, nanostores face numerous challenges when sourcing, including fragmented demand, reduced negotiation power, limited storage, and cash flow constraints, which lead to stockouts and supply chain fluctuations. Urban factors, such as traffic congestion and delivery inefficiencies by suppliers, exacerbate these issues. This case study examines the sourcing challenges and dynamics of nanostores in three typical Latin American cities and explores their supply chain strategies. Furthermore, this study examines another collaborative strategy involving suppliers and policymakers to enhance nanostore operations.
