Ecom, what3words tie-up for efficient last-mile deliveries

In a bid to optimise their deliveries, Ecom Express has partnered with innovative location technology what3words to ensure that deliveries can be made precisely to any 3-metre square in India using just three words. Now, Ecom Express’ customers (online shopping sites) can add a what3words field at checkout to ensure precise address and a best-in-class delivery experience for end-consumers.

what3words is revolutionising the way we communicate location. It has divided the world into a grid of 3 metre squares and given each square a unique combination of three random words: a what3words address. For example, ///caring.trick.handrail identifies the perfect spot to take a photo of the iconic Taj Mahal.

what3words addresses are an easy way to find, share and navigate to precise locations, anywhere in the world. They can be discovered on the free what3words app for iOS and Android, and on an online map. The technology is used across industries including automotive, navigation, travel, logistics, ecommerce, humanitarian and ride-hailing. It is also available in 51 languages including 12 South Asian languages: Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada, Nepali, Urdu, Gujarati, Malayalam, Punjabi, and Odia.
