We can cut festive-season e-com delivery time surge by 75%: Pickrr   

October 12, 2020: Pickrr, the B2B & B2C logistic courier aggregator that offers a range of solutions to online sellers, today announced that it could bring down the typical 20 percent increase in delivering e-commerce orders during festive to mere 5 percent.

Diwali is the most auspicious festivals of all, and it is also one of the highly celebrated seasons in the e-commerce industries as customers look forward to the sales and offer it brings. The sales are high, and the delivery periods are often longer due to an upsurge in order volume.

Rhitiman Majumder, co-founder, Pickrr, suggests, “Our real-time analytics and prediction system to pre-empt failures gives the best performance to sellers so that they can make the most out of this season. While the general time taken to deliver orders increases by as much as 20 percent is high demand seasons, we have retracted this rise to a mere 5 percent through our intelligent courier selection and real-time on-ground feedback in the past five years and will continue to do so.”

Pickrr has partnered with Delhivery, Ekart Logistics, Ecom Express, Dotzot, DTDC, XpressBees and FedEx for its delivery services.

For this year, Pickrr has curated customized offers for Diwali festival to help include local brands and small sellers deliver products to their customers. Rhitiman added, “this year has been tough for huge market players and for the smaller ones, it has been even tougher. We hope to provide multiple logistics options to these sellers, so they have more options to fall back upon.”

According to the Redseer report, total predicted gross merchandising volume could hit $4 billion during the festive rush and this could very well be called the ‘Economy Kickstarter’ that India had been waiting for.

Pickrr’s festive offers include real-time performance report of all the partners so that sellers can switch easily; all-India coverage to deliver goods anywhere; single panel dashboard to manage everything related to logistics, from orders to finance; and an extended operations team to help sellers during Diwali so they can celebrate it peacefully.
