Retailo, the fastest-growing B2B e-commerce platform in the MENAP region, partners with Maersk, a global integrator of container logistics, for warehousing services in Pakistan.
 
Through this regional partnership, Retailo will be able to rely on Maersk for its ever-expanding business needs by getting access to purpose-built warehouses and expand the scale of its business.

Retail sector incompetence

The partnership with Maersk will help Retailo manage its large inventories as per specific requirements Inefficiencies within the retail sector have long since hindered the retailer’s business and profits. Procurement, and supply chain channels within the region are entirely informal and pose significant challenges.
 
Retailo’s unique business model, systematic logistics, and beautifully uncomplicated technology are revolutionising the retail industry and to serve the demand, Retailo now uses several vast warehouses in the region already.

Partnership

Maersk, as a part of its integrated logistics solutions, has been offering its customers services that cover their entire supply chain needs including landside transportation, warehousing, customs clearances, ocean shipping, technology and other customised offerings at origin and destination.
 
Expanding its footprint to serve customers better specifically in the warehousing landscape, Maersk is creating a dedicated warehouse solution for Retailo in Karachi. The partnership with Maersk will help Retailo manage its large inventories as per specific requirements.
