One of the critical benefits of what3words is its global and domestic applicability. Unconfined by language or regional address formats, it is a versatile solution for iThink Logistics, whose user base spans the globe. This global reach aligns seamlessly with the logistical needs of iThink Logistics, catering to users operating in various geographical locations. what3words is available in 60 languages to date, including 13 South Asian languages: Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada, Nepali, Urdu, Gujarati, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, and Sinhala.
what3words integration enables iThink Logistics to offer E-commerce sellers a revolutionary location technology solution that simplifies and improves communication across the e-commerce supply chain. With easy-to-use what3words addresses, brands can now share precise coordinates for delivery and pickup locations like building entryways, storage areas, and return hubs. This precise location mapping via what3words addresses ensures accurate last-mile delivery, leading to lower RTOs and logistics costs.
Ms. Zaiba Sarang, Co-founder of iThink Logistics, said, “We are constantly seeking ways to simplify shipping and delivery for our clients.

The e-commerce space in India is growing rapidly, and it’s brilliant that brands like iThink Logistics are embracing technology like what3words to innovate and enhance the delivery experience.”
