In 15 major cities, Delhivery, a fully integrated logistics company, has started its “guaranteed” same-day delivery (SDD) service. Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) brands will be able to deliver their webstore purchases the same day they are received thanks to the new service. Brands will work with Delhivery to designate stock keeping units (SKUs), which will be stored in warehouses throughout the city, near to the end consumer. When a customer puts an order on the brand’s website, Delhivery’s technology will display the ‘guaranteed same-day delivery’ SKUs that are in high demand.
Once the order is placed, Delhivery’s technology will allocate it to the nearest in-city warehouse. Orders received as late as 3 pm will be delivered on the same day, the company said.
Ajith Pai, Chief Operations Officer (COO), Delhivery, said, “We consistently innovate with technology-led solutions. This solution will enable D2C brands to leverage our technology and supply chain capabilities to meet the evolving needs of their consumers.” Delhivery is a fully-integrated logistics services provider. With its nationwide network covering over 18,000 pin codes, the company provides a full suite of logistics services such as express parcel transportation, partial truckload service (PTL) freight, truckload (TL) freight, cross-border, supply chain, and technology services
