and supply beverages in its respective areas. The shopkeepers who are its customer are not satisfied by the

its customer. The problem of unavailability of product like 7up(300ml), Mountain dew(300ml), Aquafina,
Evervess soda(1.5ltr) makes the shopkeeper to switch over other companys product.

The problem of presence of dust particles, insect, plastic wrappers inside the beverages bottle is
major issue. Due to which the customer loses the trust on the product, which creates the bad name for the
company.
The illiteracy of drivers and helpers creates the problem as they are not well known about all the

different schemes to be provided to the different customers as per their order, so at the time of supply there
use to be disturbance between customer and drivers.
