Via announces same-day delivery and online purchase return at the store.

Via, which owns the Casas Bahia and Ponto Frio chains, launched the same-day delivery. Orders placed up to 12:00 on the app or website are shipped to the consumers until 22:00 on the same day.

"The same-day delivery is a process that has been increasing with the evolution of our mini-hubs operation [using the stores as a distribution center] and gained national scale with the acquisition of Asap Log [logistics company]," said Fernando Gasparini, executive director of logistics at Via, at 6 Minutos.

The company already delivers 15% of online sales on the same day. The operation is available in 65 stores in 14 states. Deliveries within 24 hours represent 40%.

According to the publication, by reducing the delivery time, Via reduces distribution and order cancellation costs. "Orders that leave the mini-hub cost 25% of the value of the one that leaves the distribution center, which greatly reduces the freight cost," said the executive.
