Snapdeal is now servicing 60% orders from its own centres. This is in sharp contrast to the 7% at the start of 2015, the company’s Vice President-Operations Ashish Chitravanshi said. He added that the e-commerce player has added 1.3 million square feet of warehousing space spread over 25 cities. "By the end of 2015-16, we would have invested $150-200 million in our supply chain logistics. A major chunk of this is our investment in GoJavas," he said.
The company's logistics team has grown 5 times to more than 1,000 people. Snapdeal introduced 'Snapdeal Instant' earlier this year to allow delivery within an hour. It has also launched four-hour delivery, card-on-delivery and 90-minute reverse pickups.
Apparently, the company has also invested heavily in supply-chain logistics this year.
Chitravanshi says the solid investment in logistics and supply chain has cut delivery times by 70% by moving bulk of sales to Snapdeal Plus and its fulfilment centres.
