Amway India, one of the country’s leading FMCG direct selling companies, is focusing on bolstering it’s home delivery (HD) and logistics network to support the surge in online orders. As a part of Amway’s 10-year growth vision, focused on unleashing the power of entrepreneurship coupled with the emerging trend of social commerce, the global direct selling giant had begun integrating offline-to-online (O2O), earlier this year, to drive targeted results. The company has witnessed a significant shift to online sales, from 33.6% in February 2020 to over 70% today. Amway expects the trend to continue and foresees the online orders to reach over 5-6 lakhs per month by the end of this year.
To accommodate the evolving supply chain scenario, Amway India is working towards a robust supply chain and home delivery strategy. In line with this, Amway is building an independent last-mile delivery model under clearly structured multi-vendor national alliances. Currently, Amway is working with a combination of 18 local and national delivery partners and plans to strengthen this network by adding some leading national logistic partners by the end of 2020. The company is now servicing 8,000 pin codes and aims to scale up to reach 15,000 pin codes by adding more national players and leveraging their network.
The increasing dependence on technology has paved the way for continued digital transformation at every level of Amway India’s operation. With the recent launch of multiple digital and social tools, Amway India aims to make it 10 times easier for the Amway direct sellers to seamlessly embrace online to buy and sell products and build their business.
