Running a small retail shop in Bangladesh comes with its own set of challenges. Getting products on time, maintaining inventory, dealing with suppliers it’s a lot to handle. That’s exactly where PriyoShop steps in. We are not just a business platform; we are a partner to thousands of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across the country. Today, let’s talk about how we have built a massive distribution network through 33 strategically located hubs.
The Numbers that Tell Our Story
When you are a small retailer in Mymensingh or Gazipur, getting products from suppliers in Dhaka shouldn’t feel like climbing a mountain. But unfortunately, that’s the reality for many shop owners. Traditional supply chains are long, complicated and expensive. By the time products reach smaller towns, prices have gone up and choices have gone down.
PriyoShop saw this problem and decided to fix it.
What We Actually Deliver
Our work focuses on two main categories. First, everyday essentials soap, shampoo, biscuits, oil, rice. These are what we call FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) products. Second, telecom services flexiload, SIM cards and mobile packages.
Here’s what makes our approach interesting: we are not doing the same thing everywhere. Out of our 33 hubs, three are dedicated exclusively to telecom services. We have two hubs in Munshiganj and one in Keraniganj that focus entirely on serving mobile service needs. The remaining 30 hubs are where we distribute everyday products to retailers.
This dual model means we are meeting different needs in different ways, but always with the same goal: making it easier for MSMEs to access what they need to serve their customers.
Building Our Network
We have built a network that reaches 14 districts, covering 102 thanas with 1,308 individual routes that our delivery teams use every single day.
Alongside empowering MSMEs, we have also partnered with leading telecom brands through our specialized hubs. This dual approach allows us to serve both traditional retailers and connect them with essential services they need to grow their businesses.
What does this mean for a shop owner? Simple. Whether you run a grocery store in Cox’s Bazar or a general store in Sylhet, you get the same access to products, the same prices, and the same service quality.
33 Hubs: The Backbone of Our Distribution
Here’s something interesting: coverage area means nothing if you can’t deliver fast. You could promise to reach 50 districts, but if products take two weeks to arrive, what’s the point? That’s why we are continuously expanding our distribution hubs across Bangladesh, with 33 hubs already operational.
Think of these hubs as mini warehouses located closer to you. Instead of everything coming from Dhaka, products are stored at the nearest hub. When you place an order, it ships from there. What used to take 3-4 days can now be received within just 1 day when you order through the PriyoShop app.
For MSMEs, this is huge. Faster delivery means you can keep less stock, which means less money tied up in inventory. You can order smaller quantities more frequently. And if there’s a sudden demand for something, you can restock quickly instead of losing sales.
1,308 Routes: Every Path Leads to Your Shop
Let’s talk about what makes our network special: those 1,308 routes. These aren’t random numbers. Each route is carefully planned based on where our MSME partners are located.
Every route has a dedicated delivery team that knows the area inside out. They know which roads to take, what time traffic is less, where shops are clustered. This local knowledge makes a massive difference. Your orders don’t get lost, they don’t go to wrong addresses, and they arrive when we say they will.
For shop owners, this reliability is everything. You can promise your customers that new stock will arrive on Friday, and it actually does. You can plan your weekend sales knowing products will be there. This kind of predictability helps you run your business better.
What this Means for Your Retail Business
Let’s get practical. You are a retailer selling groceries or household items. Here’s how PriyoShop’s network helps you:
Wider Product Range: Because we have 33 warehouses stocking products, you get access to thousands of items without having to travel to your district headquarters or deal with multiple suppliers. Browse on the app, order what you need, and it arrives.
Better Prices: When we buy in bulk and distribute through our hubs, costs come down. Those savings pass on to you. You get wholesale prices even if you are ordering just a few pieces.
Flexible Ordering: Don’t have space to store 100 packets of biscuits? Order 20. Need more next week? Order again. Our network makes frequent small orders possible without extra cost.
Time Saved: Instead of spending a day traveling to wholesale markets, spend 10 minutes on the app. Use that saved time to actually run your shop and serve customers.
Credit Support: Because we know our MSME partners through regular interaction, we can offer credit facilities. Order now, pay later when you have sold the products.
Supporting MSMEs Beyond Delivery
Here’s what makes PriyoShop different from traditional distributors: we are not just moving boxes. We are building a support system for small shop owners.
If you are a retailer who continuously purchases from us, we offer credit facilities. This means even if you suddenly face a cash shortage, you can still buy products on credit and pay later. This ensures your shop never runs out of stock, and you never miss out on sales opportunities.
We also provide digital payment options, bill management, and order history tracking. Everything is organized, everything is documented. No more messy paper records or confusion about past orders.
Growing Together: The Road Ahead
Our current network spans a significant portion of Bangladesh, but we are not stopping here. Every quarter, we are adding new areas, opening new hubs, creating new routes.
Our vision is simple: every MSME in Bangladesh should have access to the same opportunities, regardless of where they’re located. A shop in Rangpur should get the same products, prices, and service as a shop in Dhaka.
We are also constantly improving our existing network. Adding more product categories, reducing delivery times further, making the ordering process even simpler. Because we know that when you succeed, we succeed.
The Bottom Line
PriyoShop isn’t just a business to us. It’s a dream of standing beside small shop owners, of making their lives a little easier.
Our numbers are growing every day, and we are not stopping. In the coming days, we will reach more new areas, work with even more retailers. Perhaps very soon, PriyoShop’s services will begin in your area too.
