How Pureplay cosmetics delivers peak order volumes while maintaining the branded experience with Eshopbox
The problem
They operate 2 digitally native vertical brands (DNVBs) in India under the name of Plum and Phy. Digitally native vertical brands are brands born on the Internet. Pureplay has a maniacal focus on customer experience and unlike typical e-commerce brands, Pureplay controls their own distribution. By focusing on a singular product category and being obsessed with customer experience, Pureplay is able to capitalize on changes in the market quickly while delivering new products to the market in quick turnaround time.
With their product gaining more and more acceptance and increase in customer orders, they were keen on delivering a flawless post-purchase experience from their website. They were looking for a partner who understood the nuances of fulfilment in cosmetics and would help build efficiency in their operations to optimise costs.
Being a start-up organization, Pureplay was aiming to build efficiency in the following processes:
- Bundles and kitting: Picking and packing items after order placement in the fulfilment centre, i.e virtually enabled product kitting.
- Next day delivery: They were struggling to offer next day delivery and meet fundamental customer expectations
- Automated Order picking: Seamless flow of pick, pack and ship for maximum efficiency.
- Peak order volumes during events: Agile business processes to fulfil high volume orders during flash sales and promotional events.
- Customised packaging: Powerful packaging workflows along with marketing inserts such as samples, gift cards, coupons, pamphlets and more allow you to build a branded and personalized experience for your customers.
The solution
It preferred Eshopbox over other fulfilment partners as it found Eshopbox, the most suitable for adapting to its business needs and that too at a reasonable cost.
Eshopbox understood the pain of Pureplay which included handling peak event sales and on-time delivery of its orders to its customers. The team worked on a customised solution that enabled quick order processing while maintaining the branded delivery experience. This solution allowed Pureplay to avail the following benefits:
- Store products individually and build kits on the fly once orders are placed on the website.
- Tech-enabled solution to apply custom packaging rules for varied customer unboxing experience.
- Pay-as-you-go fulfilment fee based on its custom requirements which included a usage based storage and dispatch fee.

We work with Eshopbox for the fulfilment of orders and their solution has helped us deliver more than 300K orders in 6 months with incredible accuracy. We often run flash sale events for our customers which means 5X orders to pack and ship. Eshopbox handles these sudden peaks in a very organised way and ensures that our orders are delivered on time. We've been able to focus on the branding, product, and other customer-centric aspects of the business, as opposed to fulfilment operations which used to take up a lot of bandwidth earlier.
