Xpressbees' latest move comes at a time when delivery firms have had straining relations with logistics aggregators which led to a significant price hike in rate for aggregators, as reported first by ET.
In a statement, Xpressbees, said it enables same-day delivery service across 51 cities covering more than 1,600 pin codes and next-day regional delivery service across 1,000 towns and cities spread across 8,200 pin codes.
Last week, Delhivery also announced a guaranteed same-day delivery service in 15 cities saying this will enable D2C brands to deliver their webstore orders on the day the order is received. Xpressbees said its D2C-focused offering will allow brands to ship orders from its own website, marketplaces, and any business-to-business (B2B) orders received from its offline franchisees or distributors.
“This is a natural extension of our existing capabilities to newer markets,” said Amitava Saha, founder, Xpressbees. “Our platform is time-tested and robust with a throughput of millions of orders every month. We believe this will open opportunities for established brands looking to expand their online presence and upcoming D2C brands trying to grow their customer base. The platform will help them increase delivery speed significantly while keeping the costs low.”
