Appointment Based Deliveries - Scheduled B2B Freight

Appointment-based delivery is a pre-scheduled freight delivery model where shipments are delivered to platform warehouses on a specific date and time slot agreed upon during booking. ProShip manages the appointment date after pickup, ensures compliance with platform receiving protocols, and coordinates with green channel courier partners to guarantee timely inbound processing at Q-commerce and marketplace warehouses.

ProShip routes deliveries to Blinkit and Zepto mother warehouses through green channel courier partners - Delhivery, DP World, Baral, and Movein for Blinkit; Delhivery, DP World, and Movein for Zepto. These partners have pre-approved access to platform receiving docks, eliminating additional verification layers and enabling faster inbound processing with appointment-date compliance.

Green channel access means select courier partners have direct, pre-approved entry to deliver into major e-commerce and Q-commerce platform warehouses without additional security checks or verification delays. ProShip's green channel network covers Zepto, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Amazon, Flipkart, and Myntra through partners including Delhivery, Blue Dart, DP World, Baral, Movein, and Ekart.

A missed appointment slot results in rejection at the platform warehouse dock, requiring rescheduling and a repeat delivery attempt. ProShip minimizes this risk by proactively tracking shipment progress against the appointment date after pickup, sending automated alerts if transit delays threaten the window, and coordinating with green channel partners to prioritize time-critical deliveries.

ProShip's PTL network covers 29,347+ serviceable pincodes through 15 carrier partners for appointment-based and standard deliveries. For Q-commerce and marketplace warehouse deliveries specifically, the green channel partner network ensures coverage across all major platform warehouse locations in metros and Tier 1 cities where Zepto, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Amazon, and Flipkart operate fulfillment centers.

Baral handles Amazon inbound, while Ekart services Flipkart and Myntra warehouses. ProShip ensures compliance with each platform's specific receiving protocols including labeling requirements, documentation formats, and appointment window adherence.

ProShip calculates the required pickup date by working backward from the platform appointment date, factoring in transit time for the origin-destination lane and the selected courier partner's performance history. The system schedules pickup early enough to ensure the shipment reaches the destination hub before the appointment window, with buffer time for any transit variability.
