Ozon launches business infrastructure in Armenia

ArmInfo.Ozon has opened a representative office in Yerevan and is launching its own logistics  infrastructure in the country to make it easier for local sellers to enter the Russian market and ensure prompt delivery of goods from Armenia. This was announced today, July 25, by the press service of  the company.

According to the report, as part of the development of international  business, Ozon launched a sorting center in Yerevan. The logistics  facility, with an area of 2000 square meters, will ensure the receipt  and processing of orders, their picking and packaging, as well as  handling returns. The opening of the sorting center will make it  easier for local entrepreneurs to enter the Russian market and enable  them to sell more effectively to an audience of 37 million Ozon  customers in Russia.

Sellers will be able to ship their goods to CDEK (courier delivery of  goods) ordering points located in Yerevan and other major cities of  Armenia. In the future, the company plans to develop a network of its  own points for receiving and issuing orders throughout the country.  At the first stage, sellers will have access to several schemes for  delivering goods to Russia: "sale from the seller's warehouse" and  "delivery by the seller." The average delivery time of goods from  Armenia to Russia will be from 5 to 8 days.

"Armenia is the fourth country in the CIS where we localize business  and invest in logistics infrastructure:  since 2021, we have been  developing in this way in Belarus and Kazakhstan, and in December  2022 we entered the Kyrgyz market. Our experience shows that the  launch of logistics facilities in the region allows us to multiply  the number of sellers on the site and increase their sales volumes.  We are sure that Armenia will not be an exception to this rule,"  commented Alexei Sapon, Director of Operations and Development of  Ozon in the CIS.

To attract sellers from Armenia, Ozon also opened a representative  office in Yerevan. Due to the developed logistics, the company  intends to expand the assortment on the global showcase in various  categories, including such popular ones as "household goods" and  "clothes, shoes, accessories."

Earlier, Ozon launched the possibility of ordering goods from the  marketplace for residents of Armenia.  Almost the entire range of the  marketplace in Russia became available to them.
