The institution which will handle the payment gateway will evaluate ALL's dealers, fix their credit limit and give them a code number. Once the dealer places his order by giving the code number and the order is executed by ALL, the finance company would release the payment. All these would take place simultaneously. ICICI Bank is reported to be one of the banks which is working with ALL on this issue. As logistics holds the key to success of any B2B portal, ALL is also in the process of overhauling its logistics infrastructure so as to ensure that the spares are delivered in the shortest possible time. Towards this, it has handed over the operation of its three largest warehouses in Nagpur, Delhi and Bangalore to specialist logistics companies.

Its Central Warehouse in Nagpur is being operated by Sembhawang group of Singapore while the Bangalore warehouse is managed by TVS Lean Logistics, a TVS group company. By getting experts to handle logistics, ALL seeks to cut down drastically the lead time for any dealer to procure spares, Mr Sandil said while adding that ideally they should be holding stock of running inventory only. By the year-end ALL will complete the exercise of connecting all its dealers and this is expected to increase volumes in the online trade.
