Express distribution and supply chain management firm Gati Kintetsu Express is partnering IBM Commerce to help online retailers in better product delivery.
Online retailers are trying out new methods to improve the delivery system as the Indian e-commerce market is poised to grow 37 per cent to reach $20 billion this year.
“This growing e-commerce market poses a challenge to logistics companies, who must keep pace with consumer demand for instantly available products offered at a competitive price,” the company said.
Hyderabad-based Gati KWE, whose delivery network includes air, road, and rail, operates a fleet of 3,500 vehicles with more than 3,000 business partners across India. To manage an increasing volume of business with a multitude of retailers, Gati KWE tapped into IBM Commerce’s capabilities to better integrate and coordinate the complex and time-sensitive flow of products from warehouse to store to home.
