The number of Republican suppliers on online platforms has increased to 5 thousand

As is well known, crisis in the economy has stimulated the stable growth of online commerce. Number of Republican suppliers on online platforms: Ozon, Wildberries and KazanExpress-increased to 5 thousand, the total turnover of their sales amounted to 4.2 billion rubles. 

It is worth noting that the Republic of Tatarstan is systematically working to attract large companies in the e-commerce sector. Last year large logistics centers of Ozon and Wildberries were opened. The opening of the new hubs enabled the Republican manufacturers to significantly reduce the cost of transportation expenses, rent of storage facilities and, in general, optimize business processes. Also, thanks to the new distribution centers, the speed of order delivery in Tatarstan has increased. If earlier residents of the region received purchases within 2-3 days, now goods from local warehouses will be delivered the next day. 

The Tatarstan company KazanExpress also announced the construction of a logistics complex on the territory of the Sviyazhsk interregional multimodal logistics Center with a total area of 10 thousand square meters (1st stage). The complex will include premises for storage and handling of the orders, which will increase the number of suppliers and product units of the regional online retailer.

The implementation of large-scale investment projects in the field of e-commerce in Tatarstan indicates the presence of a favorable environment for the development of e-commerce in the republic. This is largely facilitated by the course taken by the republic's leadership to improve the region's infrastructure: engineering, logistics, and digital.

In addition, together with large online retailers, training seminars are held  in the republic on a regular basis. They are aimed at building a business on marketplaces, getting acquainted with the principles and advantages of electronic platforms, studying their capabilities in terms of supply and sales management. Entrepreneurs will learn how to use marketing communications and free tools to competently start and promote products, as well as raise their turnover.

Also, to assist entrepreneurs who sell goods through electronic sales channels, the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan provides services for free promotion and certification of the products.
