Maersk (Maersk) stated an eCommerce fulfillment solution in India with which all elements of an e-commerce fulfillment solution will be available by a single window at a flat rate of Rs 80 per order. "This solution is mainly focused on at a typical small or medium eCommerce business in India that relies on various logistics partners for different activities. With this solution, Maersk is taking the complexities out of its consumer's supply chains by providing single-window access to all needed solutions, such as storage in warehouses, last-mile deliveries and executing return orders, all while providing end-to-end visibility at unified pricing," said Maersk, in a release.
Vikash Agarwal, Managing Director, Maersk South Asia, said, “India’s eCommerce business has huge expansion potential. But the highly fragmented market and supply chain complexity are hurdles to many businesses' expansion. With our new solution, we want to stay true to our purpose of improving life for all by integrating the world.” He added, “With our ‘One Country, one Price’ solution, we will take complexities out of our customers’ supply chains and grow with them as they focus on what they do the best.”
In a typical fulfilment solution for an eCommerce business, multiple interfaces are involved that take care of different elements of logistics. It all starts with picking up finished goods from a manufacturing facility or origin and moving them to a warehouse. Then comes the element of receiving orders through an online eCommerce platform and connecting that order for further processing at a warehouse before it is delivered to the end consumer. All these solutions are managed by more than one logistics partner in India. "With the new eCommerce fulfilment solution, all these logistics requirements will be available to the eCommerce business through Maersk as a single partner. The enablers for Maersk to deploy such a solution include multiple warehousing facilities in multiple cities," the release stated.
With its ‘One Country, One Price’ solution, Maersk is bringing all the services under a single charge of Rs 80 per order. "This will include 60 days of storage, delivery across India covering 18000 pin codes in 48 hours, 20% returns to origin (RTO) and at no fixed monthly costs or no minimum orders," the company said.
