Brazil: Total Express launches e-TOTAL
Logweb, 31 Jan 2017, online:-
From 6 February 2016, Brazilian logistics firm Total Express will offer services to small and medium-sized online retailers through its e-TOTAL service. The company invested a total of BRL 8mn (EUR 2.38mn USD 2.55mn) in the new service, including infrastructure, technology and marketing. The launch coincides with discussions regarding the complete suspension of Brazil's postal service Correios' e-SEDEX service, which was aimed at the same public. With e-TOTAL, Total Express is hoping to see a five-fold increase in its client base and a 30% increase in operations by the end of 2017. The new service offers free pick-up, insurance, online tracking system, among other benefits. According to data from the Brazilian e-commerce association ABComm, the participation of small and medium-sized firms in the country's e-commerce sector is set to increase by 25%. Since the cancellation of the e-SEDEX service, Total Express has seen demand increase. Since December 2016, some 1,000 online retailers approached the company.
