SD+ Centres power Snapdeal’s fast deliveries

Snapdeal, announced that more than 80 percent of its sales are now shipped through its own fulfilment centres called SD+ Centres. Orders shipped through SD+ have end to end trackability and have helped Snapdeal deliver faster than anybody else.

Speaking about the milestone achievement, Rohit Bansal, Co-Founder, Snapdeal said “Managing a majority of our shipments through our own fulfilment centres is part of our mission to provide a reliable and frictionless customer experience. Shipping through SD+ gives us the opportunity to screen quality of products and the quality of packaging. We also have end-to-end visibility on all products shipped through our fulfilment centres and this enables us to promise and deliver faster than anybody else.  We have built this capacity rapidly - in January 2015 only 7 percent of our sales were shipped through SD+ and in May 2016 this is 80 percent. More than 95 percent orders from SD+ are fulfilled on time and with zero errors.”
