Gati has a dedicated shipping vertical aimed to serve ecommerce businesses with logistics solutions. The ecommerce logistics service, called Gati e-Connect, offers several advantageous shipping services to online companies like Premium, Express and Cash on Delivery services.
With the Premium service, ecommerce businesses can offer their customers AM-PM Delivery, where orders shipped in the morning are guaranteed to be delivered by 9 PM, the same day.
