Abstract:
This research provides a comparative overview of the financial costs associated with supply chain management (SCM) among three industry frontrunners—Amazon, Swiggy, and Blue Dart. These organizations operate across different sectors, with Amazon and Blue Dart positioned within the FMCG and logistics sectors, and Swiggy in the food delivery market. The study analyzes their financial documents from 2020 to 2022, concentrating on major expense categories such as transportation, warehousing, technology infrastructure, and human resources. Employing a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, including financial data analysis and correlation assessments, the research illuminates the variances in the financial strategies these companies utilize to control SCM expenditures. The results emphasize the distinct operational frameworks and cost management tactics tailored to each company's market conditions and business goals. This study provides useful insights for other entities looking to enhance their financial management in the supply chain and boost operational efficiency, while acknowledging contextual and structural limitations arising from sectoral differences and pandemic-related disruptions.
