"The complexity and scale during BBD (Big Billion Day sale) require us to scale up for capacity, storage, placement, sorting, packaging, human resource, training, delivery, and the entire supply chain. This scale is always unprecedented so we start preparations months in advance," Flipkart Senior Vice President and Head of Supply Chain Hemant Badri told PTI.
Flipkart on Wednesday said it has added 66 new large-scale fulfillment and sortation centres across the country over the past few months and created 1.15 lakh additional seasonal jobs to strengthen its supply chain network ahead of the festive season. The Walmart-owned company has also bolstered its last-mile delivery capabilities by adding more than 1,000 delivery hubs, while also expanding its partnership with kiranas.
"The complexity and scale during BBD (Big Billion Day sale) require us to scale up for capacity, storage, placement, sorting, packaging, human resource, training, delivery, and the entire supply chain. This scale is always unprecedented so we start preparations months in advance," Flipkart Senior Vice President and Head of Supply Chain Hemant Badri told PTI.
He added that these new facilities including warehouses and sortation centres have been added in the past 4-5 months, and the company now has more than 100 facilities across the country.
