The company is based in Bangalore and its aim is to help shoppers more easily navigate Asia's rapidly expanding e-commerce market. Voonik has an unusual approach to business in that it doesn't carry inventory or handle its own deliveries. Rather, Voonik collects about 500,000 different SKUs products from a number of different retailers and then makes these items available to consumers. For consumers, this model allows them to choose [clothes and accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trend-stores) from a variety of different stores and then purchase these items in a single transaction. With an overwhelming number of online retailers competing for consumer attention, Voonik's single shopping platform helps to make online shopping a more streamlined process. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Multi-store Shopping Apps:** Opportunity for app developers to create more convenient and streamlined shopping experiences by combining multiple stores on a single platform. - **Inventory-less Business Models:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional retail models by collecting products from various retailers and offering them on a single platform without the need for inventory or delivery. - **Streamlined Online Shopping:** Opportunity to improve the online shopping experience by providing a centralized platform that allows consumers to easily navigate and purchase from multiple stores. ### Who This Affects Most - **E-commerce:** Opportunity for e-commerce platforms to adopt multi-store shopping features and improve user experience by offering a diverse range of products from various retailers. - **App Development:** Opportunity for app developers to create multi-store shopping apps that simplify the shopping process and provide access to a wide range of retailers and products. - **Retail Technology:** Opportunity for retail technology companies to develop innovative solutions that facilitate inventory-less business models and enable seamless integration of multiple stores on a single platform. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Localized Boutique Shopping Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boutique-shopping-apps.md) - [Streamlined Shopping Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streamlined-shopping-apps.md) - [Personal Shopping Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aritzias-new-app.md) - [Multi-Brand Shopping Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boohoo-marketplace.md) - [Diverse Shopping Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/varshops.md) - [Hyper-Personalized Beauty Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kult-app.md) - [Comprehensive E-Commerce Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comprehensive-ecommerce-platform.md) - [Women-Focused Shopping Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curated-shopping.md) - [Luxury E-Commerce Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecommerce-apps.md)
