Xpressbees is looking for chances in this expanding industry. The company currently collaborates with a number of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer firms.
The research also emphasizes how businesses, such as Zepto, are rebuilding their mother warehouses to make room for a wider variety of goods.
In response to the increasing demand in the quick-commerce industry, third-party logistics (3PL) companies Delhivery and Xpressbees are broadening the scope of their offerings beyond standard e-commerce orders. This change is being driven by platforms like Zepto, Blinkit, and Swiggy Instamart, according to an article by The Economic Times (ET) that cited sources.
India's biggest 3PL company, Delhivery, with its headquarters in Gurgaon, has begun overseeing bigger warehouses for Swiggy Instamart. According to ET, these warehouses supply fulfillment centers or smaller dark shops that are located within cities. According to people aware with the situation, Pune-based Xpressbees is in talks with a number of companies to join the quick-commerce market. ET was informed of this.
"Logistics players are realizing the opportunity as quick commerce grows, but platforms need strong infrastructure and experience in logistics," an insider told ET.
The research also emphasizes how businesses, such as Zepto, are rebuilding their mother warehouses to make room for a wider variety of goods. As leading competitors broaden their products, Delhivery's cooperation with Swiggy Instamart hopes to grow further by easing the transfer of different stock-keeping units (SKUs).
Xpressbees is looking for chances in this expanding industry. The company currently collaborates with a number of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer firms. Another reliable source told ET, "Xpressbees will also handle some of the heavy lifting in warehouse management."
Despite these advancements, a senior executive at a 3PL company observed that since dark shops need specific technology and adaptations, quick-commerce firms prefer to run their sites separately. The CEO told ET, "These players want to maintain control. They are experts at managing dark stores."
Even while Moneycontrol was unable to independently confirm the claim, ET's emails to Delhivery and Swiggy Instamart were not returned. According to ET, an Xpressbees representative refused to comment on the company's intentions.
A top executive in the e-commerce sector said, "This strategic move could help these platforms maintain processes as well as compliance, which is crucial as they increase in the e-commerce space."
