Pardakht E-commerce Company, an innovative partner for online retailers, has officially expanded its services within the logistics sector in Iran to online retailers.

 

The prospect of removing economic sanctions against Iran after the conclusion of a historic nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, has prompted many international retailers to consider entering this emerging market, said a statement.

 

Since 2002, Iran's e-commerce market has grown at an annual 50 per cent rate; and based on official statistics Iran now has the most number of smart phones, Internet penetration rate and highest ecommerce growth rate in the Middle East. 

 

This $80-million-strong market, two-thirds of which are made up of educated young people under the age of 35, is a very tempting market for international retailers, it said.

 

Reza Omidsalalari, CEO, said: "Many international companies are considering entering Iran's market. During the last couple of months we have received feedback from many international retailers speaking about their pains in regards to storage and warehousing, packaging and on-time delivery of their products in Iran, so, as the pioneer of logistics industry in Iran and with our current company resources, we decided to expand our services into logistics management for international retailers."

 

Pardakht.ir is officially the first and largest third party fulfilment centre in Iran that provides all aspects of fulfillment process of retailers like warehousing, inventory control and reporting, packaging, shipping and Cash on Delivery (COD) services, said the statement.

 

Using such fulfillment services, online retailers can make sure their products are packed based on their order and delivered to their customers using Pardakht's fast and reliable distribution partners, it said.

 

Pardakht will also provide cloud-based software for retailers to manage their inventory and track shipment and delivery of their sold products or the status of returned products, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
