The app marks the company’s debut in the logistics segment.
Zomato has gone live with an app called Xtreme, a logistics service that will allow merchants to send and receive parcels, and marks the firm’s debut in the segment.
The move is aimed at diversifying Zomato’s revenue stream, reported Moneycontrol and Business Standard.
“Xtreme simplifies the entire delivery process, making it easy for merchants to send packages to their valued customers. Whether you’re a small shop or a large retailer, we’ve got you covered,” says a message on the app’s homepage.
