1 5 Companies Changing the World of Logistics, Last Mile Delivery and E-Commerce Fulfillment Presented by: Shailen Shukla Head Logistics Jumbo Electronics

2 Darkstore This new start up business is an on-demand delivery third party logistics provider. Darkstore works by enabling e- commerce retail brands to store their inventory in major cities and provides ondemand and same day home delivery at lower prices. Darkstore does this by using leftover space in storage facilities, malls, bodegas and other ancillary spaces. The e-commerce companies are not charged for inventory storage. Instead, a 3% per item fee is charged when the goods leave Darkstore with a minimum fee of $2 and a maximum of $20. Key to the success of Darkstore is selection of the brands positioned for optimal success in this business model: those that move enough product specifically in a set location and its partnership with on-demand home delivery services such as Deliv and traditional couriers.

3 Deliv What is the answer to companies that need help with same day deliveries and returns for omnichannel retailers as well as e- commerce companies and local businesses? Deliv handles the pick-up and delivery from small to enterprise level brick and mortar stores and handles same day delivery. By integrating Deliv into a retailer s existing check out process, retailers can maintain the ownership of data from each customer transaction and ensure a seamless brand and customer experience. Services such as end-to-end logistics, line haul services, custom delivery windows, and last mile delivery package tracking are available. In addition, Deliv provides the added benefit of minimal packaging, ideal for meal subscription services including cold chain items and food products.

4 ShipHawk With a network of over 200 parcel, LTL and truckload carriers, ShipHawk is a transportation management technology platform and software solutions provider that helps companies that are in need of specialized carriers including those that handle home delivery and blanket wrap options. ShipHawk is ideal for finding logistics and home delivery solution providers that handle large, cumbersome items that do not fit into a box. The system can provide instantaneous pricing comparison, optimized delivery options and packaging solutions to help to minimize costs, provide a more personalized customer experience and enhance sales.

5 Narvar Over the years, retailers have realized that the experience customers have with their brands shapes their future buying decisions. Online retailers have become more acutely aware of the value of this experience and are interested in finding new ways to exert control over their brand at different points in the consumer-retailer interaction. As consumers buy more online, retailers seek to exert influence at different points in the transaction. Filling the experience gap, the time during which the online check out occurs until the point at which the product arrives, has become a priority for many retailers. They want to facilitate a positive experience during this period of anxious anticipation and use the enthusiasm to develop and deepen the relationship with their customers.

6 Postmates The mission of Postmates, an ondemand delivery service provider is to enable any type of merchant to deliver anything at scale using local on-demand logistics. Postmates has a large delivery fleet, over 20,000 of on-demand operators in 40 American metropolitan markets. Partnerships with wellknown brands such as 7-Eleven, Walgreens, Starbucks, Chipotle and Apple have provided Postmates with access to a tremendous customer base. Despite initial naysayers, Postmates is thriving.
