 "Online spare machinery parts platform Bookmyparts aims to address need gap")
The basic idea of launching the digital platform is to create smooth supply chain in the industry which is currently missing.
"This was the need of the hour and through this platform we want to help the Indian Industry to smoothly source the machinery spares with minimum machinery downtime. The industry is plagued with a serious problem of sourcing machinery spares on a timely and a cost effective basis since several decades," said Pinkal shekhaliya, founder director of www.bookmyparts.com.
As on date, indusrty mostly depends on imported machinery. Supply of the parts of these machineries is the biggest issue at this time which needs to be addressed.
Vishal Ganju, founder director said, "The Indian Industry sources almost 70% of its machinery needs from overseas. Unless adequately addressed, the concerns about smooth availability of machinery spares parts by several key industries like textiles, plastics processing, printing, automobiles and pneumatics and others will become worse going forward, especially at a time when the mantra is Make in India."
As it is new initiative, the company is aiming to strengthen its base by associating maximum suppliers across India. Currently it has over 100 suppliers and of it almost 75% are from Gujarat. The platform offering more than 10,000 different products of engineering goods in price range of Rs 200 to Rs 150,000.
Ganju said, "We are currently focusing on to increase our product range to 500,000. For that we are aiming to collaborate with over 3,000 suppliers in next one year." To serve better the company is joining hands with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and to promote the platform it will also planning to associate with trade bodies of various states.
