All the fulfilment facilities of Pickrr provide tailor-made solutions, including using a warehouse management system with smart technology, smooth palletized in and outflow of bulk orders, customised packaging, refrigeration capability etc. With the Pickrr Plus Fulfillment model, sellers can automate their orders, reduce inventory worries and deliver shipments to their customers within 24-48 hours. This end-to-end solution infrastructure comes with the complete suite of demand forecasting engines, replenishment cycle, SKU placements to simplify inventory management, logistic operations etc., to help the brand offer a better seller experience at the lowest logistics cost. An added advantage of Pickrr Plus is accessibility to Amazon Multi-Seller flex at most of its fulfilment centers.”

The company delivers 3 million shipments per month, and with the opening of new centers, it aims to take this number much higher.”
Commenting on the launch, Gaurav Mangla, Co-Founder & CEO at Pickrr, said, “Fulfilment facilities have become an important requirement for all online businesses which serve customers pan India. Our data has revealed that going closer to customers and reducing delivery speed to hours w.r.t days increases repeat purchase propensity for brands and eventually boost the NPS and brand image. During the festive sale period, we have demonstrated an upswing in faster turnaround time by more than 55% and return reductions by 12-16% to our Pickrr Plus customers. We will be launching six more facilities by the end of 2021, primarily in Tier 2 & 3 cities taking our customers closer to their customers.”
