Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) service gathering pace
The new fulfilment centre will also enhance Amazon’s other services which facilitate payment and logistic solutions. These have recently been extended to small and medium sized businesses, to help them scale up their operations and focus on their core competence.
“The new facility will allow us to offer Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) service to thousands of small and medium entrepreneurs in the region and help them gain access to customers across the country,” Amazon India director operations Akhil Saxena said.
The Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) service allows the seller to store its products in the warehouse. Once an order is placed by a customer, Amazon then effectively packs and delivers the goods.
“Through the FBA service we give more selections (products) to the customers. The FBA model helps sellers to reduce the price by improving efficiency. And customers get faster delivery of products,” a senior company official said.
