Ivan and his family have purchased items from OZON Holdings, Russia's largest e-commerce group, in the past year. OZON operates various e-commerce sites including OZON.ru, SAPATO.ru, and OZON.travel. To deliver 250,000 orders per month, OZON must list over 2 million products, employ 1,500 professionals, and operate call/email centers. They also maintain a full logistics infrastructure including warehouses, hubs, and pick-up points. Despite the challenges, OZON has been able to achieve strong sales results.
