With the festive season around the corner, businesses are expecting a spike in demand for their goods and services. But this time it will be extra special as shoppers loosen their purse strings after two years of constrained festivities. With massive promotions during the festive season, the e-commerce, retail, consumer durables and FMCG industries are ready to experience bumper sales and must gear up to make the most of the season.
To meet seasonal demand, the gig model is emerging as the most fluid expansion structure for spontaneous action and growth. It makes hyperlocal penetration more convenient for enterprises, giving them an opportunity to reach out to new audiences and explore markets, a step crucial in leveraging the seasonal influx.
Let us look more closely at the business functions that Awign’s gig proposition caters to, and how it can be a game changer!

With Awign, enterprises can assemble a fully-managed gig workforce on-demand at any point in time and get the work started within a week’s time. They also get the ability to ramp down just as quickly, without any compliance hassles.
- Reduce go-to market time: The enterprise-focused gig model allows companies to be at the right place at the right time. Enterprises can significantly reduce their turnaround time and go-to-market with ease.
