About
Yelo is a powerful hyperlocal ordering platform designed for businesses of all sizes that want to establish or scale an online ordering presence — without writing a single line of code. Built by Jungleworks, Yelo offers four core product modes: a single-store Storefront for direct customer sales, a Multi-Vendor Marketplace for aggregating multiple sellers under one platform, a Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) channel that eliminates third-party aggregators, and a Headless option for teams that want custom front-end experiences powered by Yelo's robust backend engine. The platform covers end-to-end commerce needs, including a digital product catalogue, real-time inventory management, geo-fencing and location tracking, white-label branding, promotions and discounts, and a faster checkout experience with in-app wallets and multiple payment gateway integrations. Businesses also benefit from a WhatsApp Ordering Bot, a self-ordering Kiosk for restaurants, and deep analytics accessible from a centralized dashboard. Yelo serves a diverse range of industries — food delivery, grocery, home services, telemedicine, laundry, pet care, alcohol delivery, flower delivery, and more — making it a versatile solution for both niche startups and large enterprises looking to own their customer relationships and distribution channel. It is especially well-suited for entrepreneurs wanting to launch marketplace businesses quickly and local retailers aiming to go digital.
