As previously reported , “Mail of Russia” is going to create an online store modeled on Amazon, eBay and other sites. Now the state-owned company has already begun to implement the project - at the initial stage it is planned to spend 33 million rubles.

The money is planned to spend on the following items of expenditure, writes Roem:

• project documentation (4.5 million rubles)
• technical implementation of software (12.5 million rubles)
• integration with external systems (5.3 million rubles)
• debugging and implementation (5.9 million rubles)
• pilot production (1 year) (4.67 million rubles).

Work on the creation of the marketplace will begin on September 14. Completion of work is scheduled for February 14, 2017. The store address is also already known - shop.russianpost.ru.

Recall, "Mail of Russia" plans to provide a platform for goods from various vendors (as in the case of eBay and AliExpress), and to enable buyers to order goods in various post offices using printed catalogs. Perhaps the most popular and sought-after products will be sold in the branches.
