23 June , 2016  

KYIV. June 23 (Interfax-Ukraine) – NP Logistic, part of Nova Poshta Group, providing warehousing and fulfillment services, seeks to double cargo handling in 2016, to over 2 million orders.

NP Logistic Director Oleksandr Lisovets told reporters that the company has two fulfillment centers with a gross area of 10,000 square meters. The company services more than 30 clients.

He said that the fulfillment service is targeted at online shops and other businesses. Among the company’s clients are Allo, Rozetka, Garnamama, Philip Morris, Nestle, WOG and others.

Lisovets said that according to a study of the Ecommerce Europe association, in 2015 Ukraine became the most quickly growing market in Europe with 35% growth. He said that 95% of Ukrainian online shops carry out the whole complex of logistics operations themselves, which is ineffectively in most cases.

NP Logistic accepts goods, stores them, packages and delivers to end consumers. For clients of online shops that use fulfillment services this means an additional advantage. A client places the order on the website of the online shop in the evening, the shop quickly transfers the order for fulfillment to NP Logistic and the goods arrives to the client next day, he said.

Lisovets said that with transferring of own warehouse for outsourcing, the online shop can focus on sales and marketing.

NP Logistic can handle 10,000-15,000 orders a day. In 2015, the company handled 1.2 million orders and 650,000 in January-May 2016.

The company intends to develop logistics infrastructure in Kyiv region and the branch network in cities with over one million of population.
