Same-day / Next-day

Commerce SLA tiers. Same-day promises delivery within hours of order; next-day promises by end of the following business day. Different cost structures, different network designs, different customer expectations.

Where this fits

Vertical-specific patterns shared by the operators Nash serves. BOPIS, click-and-collect, cold chain, ship-from-store, catering windows, multi-marketplace. Each carries operational nuance that Nash absorbs without forcing the operation to bend to the software.
