Maersk, a leading logistics company, has announced the launch of an e-commerce fulfilment solution in India, designed to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with their supply chain needs. The solution, which is available for Rs 80 per order, provides SMBs with a single window access to storage in warehouses, last-mile deliveries, and return orders.

‍
The solution includes 60 days of storage, delivery across India covering 18,000 pin codes in 48 hours, and 20 per cent returns to origin (RTO). There are no fixed monthly costs or minimum orders required.

‍
Vikash Agarwal, Managing Director of Maersk South Asia, said: “India’s e-commerce business has great growth potential. But the highly fragmented market and supply chain complexity are hurdles to many businesses’ growth. With our new solution, we want to stay true to our purpose of improving life for all by integrating the world. 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.”

‍
The e-commerce sector in India has grown significantly in recent years, allowing SMBs to take the digital route for selling goods and services in India and globally. According to a report by consulting firm Bain & Company in collaboration with venture capital firm Accel, more than 15 million MSMEs are projected to buy and sell online from the current 6 million by 2027, creating 7 million jobs in the process.

‍
Maersk’s e-commerce fulfilment solution is designed to help SMBs take advantage of this growth and simplify their supply chain needs. The company has multiple warehousing facilities in multiple cities, allowing it to provide a comprehensive solution to its customers.
