About PurpleDrone

 

PurpleDrone offers simplified logistics services that enable ecommerce businesses to implement optimized warehousing and last-mile workflows. Since 2017, the carrier has been solely focused on establishing a robust service in these two areas. This has empowered ecommerce businesses to improve their delivery speed as well as their accuracy. 

In its initial days, PurpleDrone aimed to fill the lack of a proper WMS in the Indian region. With the rapid growth and the expanded network, PurpleDrone was also able to leverage the warehousing network for an optimized last-mile delivery service

The last-mile delivery service by PurpleDrone uses a proprietary algorithm for implementing route optimization in its delivery network. It captures real-time data on road and traffic conditions for better delivery times and reduced delivery costs. 

PurpleDrone also transmits real-time proof of delivery electronically. You can even share this with your customers to empower a contactless delivery experience. In addition to this, the carrier offers forward express and reverse standard delivery services in all major Indian cities, allowing to you to expand your reach. 

PurpleDrone uses its tech-integrated platform to pull live updates of every package and forward them to the customers on pre-set communication channels. These updates will reduce the stress of WISMO calls and elevate the customer experience to a new level.

The carrier is soon to announce a dynamic warehousing service that will allow you to use a warehousing service under the pay-per-use model. It will help you tweak your fulfillment process according to the fluctuations in the supply-demand. ClickPost has a courier API Integration with PurpleDrone to enable customers to go live with the services within 24 hours.
