FAQ's

Well, the recent studies say it is always good to have an omni channel presence. Now, if you are more focussed about selling more units online, you have to be present on the Market places, simply because it makes business sense to capitalize on the Marketing dollars they spend in bringing in footfalls for their platforms. But having own website adds to the customers’ confidence and contribute in building a Brand Identity.

So we’ll encourage you to start selling on Market places immediately and simultaneously we could start working upon your own website as well.

Start with answering this; which all Market places do you want to be present on? Do you want to go all out in first phase or you want to go ‘a few at a time’ and later expand.

We could meet over a cup of tea or coffee to discuss it at length for you. We would also register you to all the agreed platforms

The second phase is, getting your products photo-shot. If you are dealing in Apparels, it would a Model shoot. For most of the other categories, it would be a regular table-top shoot. The angles and specification of the images are different for different Market places. Do remember this, while shooting.

Through our e-comm specific expert photographers, graphic designers and editors, we could assist you with this.

The third phase is, getting an impressive content about your product. You are not there online to physically answer the customer queries about your product. The image and the content is the only way to address it. Use your offline expertise to design the content.

We have a creative content team that could help you overcome this.

Then start Catalogue Management. Cataloguing means, entering the product details in required format of a Market place. The cataloguing formats differ for different categories as well as different Marketplaces. Once the catalogues are ready, upload those on different platforms.

Share one standard form with us and you could leave the rest to our experienced Cataloguers. We create it in all the formats and even upload it for you.

Once SKUs (products) are live, you are ‘good to go’.

Once the products are live, customers would be able to see and place order for your products. On a day-to-day basis, you or your team would need to do the following:

Update the inventory for the registered SKUs on a regular basis. We could help you with this and also with optimizing it.

We work on a smart system that manages inventory optimally.

1. For example you committed 10 units of product1 and Product 1 is listed o Flipkart, Snapdeal, Shopclues, Amazon and PayTM

2. The inventory on all the portals will be updated as ‘10’

3. Now, let’s say, you receive an order of 1 unit from Snapdeal, in this case, the system will change the inventory to ‘9’ at all the Portals

4. The moment all 10 units are sold, it will update it as per, leaving no chance for any customer backorder

This way, you make optimum use of the available inventory as well as escape any situation where you have to cancel a customer order. In case, you opt for Option ‘a’, the same process will be repeated for all the portals where you are not opting for ‘warehouse services’. For the remaining portals, out MPM team manages it for you

So in any case, with us, you do not only optimize the inventory on hand, but also ensure that the customer doesn’t have any untoward experience as well.

The Packaging material are easily available online. Out MPM champs could order the required one for you.

We also impart training to your Logistic team on how they should go about packing the products, where to place the invoice and where to stick the shipping label.

The Packaging Material you choose depends upon:

1. Which category/ products are you dealing with:

If the products are electronics, premium lifestyle products or breakable, we would suggest Air bags or bubble wraps for the internal packaging and corrugated cardboard boxes for the outer packaging. This is required to avoid any in-transit damage to the products.

We assist our clients in choosing/ developing the packaging solutions that suits their needs
