Global e-commerce giant has partnered with Snowman Logistics for the delivery of FMCG perishables including vegetables, fruits, eggs, frozen food and groceries.
A pilot project in stealth mode was launched in Mumbai late last year with Western Maharashtra as the focus. As part of the pilot, Snowman Logistics set up a collection centre in Manchar near Pune to facilitate the collection of vegetables and fruits directly from farmers. The farm produce is then shipped to the Snowman Logistics sorting and grading centre located in Navi Mumbai, where the farm produce is further sorted, graded and packed for home delivery purpose. This is then transported to the six fulfilment hubs of the e-commerce player located around Mumbai for onward delivery. After Mumbai, the pilot will be replicated in Delhi and other cities to follow soon.
Snowman Logistics is an integrated temperature controlled logistics services provider.
