One of the business ideas that took part in the corporate entrepreneurship program was to utilize Aygaz’s existing LPG distributor network to serve as the last cog in the logistics chain, last mile delivery. Last mile delivery is defined as the movement of goods from a transportation hub to the final delivery destination, typically a personal residence. The focus of last mile logistics is to deliver items to the end user as fast as possible. Given Aygaz’s experience with the last mile delivery of LPG tanks, it seemed possible to leverage that strength to all other types of products. 

From inception, Core Strateji helped the internal startup team develop their initial idea and test their hypotheses in the marketplace. The team first went through the acceleration phase, understanding the issues faced by both logistics firms and e-commerce customers, then worked to develop a model that would utilize Aygaz’s existing infrastructure to meet existing gaps. In the pilot phase, with mentoring support from Core Strateji, the team tested those models and partnerships in the field in order to understand the technical and market challenges. Once a proven operating model was discovered, the team pitched their project to management and formed a new department specifically to launch this service from within the company.
