ПРЕЗЕНТАЦИЯ UDS+OZON

Main summary

Key takeaways

Business

Company / product positioning

  • UDS is an IT company active since 2014 and a Skolkovo resident.
  • It builds tools for small and medium-sized businesses, including:
    • Online stores
    • CRM
    • Loyalty systems
    • Mailing
    • Feedback

The presentation introduces the “UDS+Ozon” concept (also referred to as “Ozoone” / “Ozone” and “Sazone”), aimed at helping Ozon marketplace sellers:

  • Regain control of sales
  • Build their own customer base
  • Still rely on Ozon logistics

Market problem & strategic shift

Key business pain points with marketplaces

  • Marketplace commissions reduce margins.
  • Strong competition: the same products are offered by many sellers.
  • Loss of customer ownership, including:
    • Limited ability to run full CRM marketing (birthday greetings, newsletters, loyalty bonuses, referral incentives).
    • Limited brand promotion: additional ad spend can become unprofitable.
  • Platform dependency risk:
    • Sellers effectively outsource one of the two foundations of a business:
      • Product/service vs. sales
    • If marketplace rules change, sellers face instability.

Proposed evolution (hybrid model)

  • Don’t “leave” marketplaces entirely, because marketplace traffic/logistics remain central.
  • Instead, implement a hybrid model:
    • Keep selling on Ozon for logistics and pickup behavior.
    • Add your own online store(s) to regain:
      • Sales ownership
      • CRM-driven retention

Product offering: “UDS+Ozon” (own store + Ozon logistics)

Core capabilities (multiple sales channels)

The store can be created on 4 platforms:

  • Classic web interface (web + mobile)
  • Telegram mini-app
  • Messenger (likely Meta Messenger mini-app)
  • VK store (planned/expected May–June)

Ordering & delivery experience (customer perspective)

  • Customers discover products via social media links to your own store (not the marketplace listing).
  • Customers:
    • Order
    • Choose an Ozon pickup point
    • Pay
  • Payment goes to the seller’s bank account within 24 hours.
  • Customers track order status in the mobile app.
  • Pickup uses a barcode from the app.

Order processing (seller perspective)

  • Orders appear in UDS CRM and are also routed to the seller’s OzonSeller account.
  • Fulfillment is handled the same way as if the order came directly from Ozon (minimal operational change).

Important constraints / operating rules

  • Works only for active Ozon sellers under FBO and FBS.
  • Only active Ozon listings hosted in Ozon can be placed into the UDS store.
  • Balances and products synchronize automatically with UDS (no manual catalog entry).
  • Ozon logistics tariffs remain standard (same delivery rates).
  • No marketplace sales commission when the purchase happens through the seller’s own store connected to this system.
  • Cancellation/refunds:
    • Cancellations: automatic if the customer returns at the pickup point; refund to customer; item returns to seller.
    • Returns after pickup: follow the seller’s process; seller can request video/photos before approving refunds.

CRM + loyalty “playbook” (how sellers get independence)

CRM marketing functions emphasized

  • Full customer profiles, including:
    • Name
    • Phone
    • Birthday
    • Attributes such as whether they have children/pets
  • Trigger/segmented marketing actions:
    • Birthday-based campaigns
    • Newsletters
    • Instant updates to loyalty program terms (changes apply immediately)

Loyalty program supports

Bonuses for:

  • Purchases
  • Recommendations/referrals
  • Reviews
  • Aggregator reviews (explicitly mentioned)
  • Birthday congratulation bonuses
  • Certificates / discount incentives
  • Reactivation if the customer hasn’t purchased for a while

“Loyalty aggregator” angle

  • Loyalty and products can be presented via a separate loyalty app (an aggregator for multiple brands’ loyalty programs).
  • Important note: it’s not a traffic generator—there’s low expectation of new orders from this channel. It’s mainly for convenience for clients who already use the app.

Pricing & commercial terms (explicit metric)

  • Fixed subscription fee: 10,400 rubles/month
  • No commissions and no additional payments (as stated in the presentation).
  • The subscription covers: multi-platform store + CRM + loyalty + integrations.

Growth/marketing logic & actionable recommendation

“Life hack” to build an owned lead base before purchase

When running social media ads:

  • Don’t send users directly to checkout.
  • Offer a discount on the first purchase (example: 500 rubles) to capture the customer into the customer base.
  • Then warm leads using newsletters to improve conversion later.

Logic presented:

  • Customers aren’t always ready to buy instantly.
  • Early lead capture reduces reliance on unstable marketplace traffic and supports repeat purchases.

Budget reallocation strategy

Since marketplace commission is reduced/eliminated:

  • Sellers can redirect budget into advertising (example: bloggers/influencers)
  • This supports CRM-based conversion and retention.

Roadmap / ongoing development

  • UDS updates every 2 weeks.
  • Additional platform planned: VK “soon,” expected May–June.
  • Integration expansion:
    • Ozon: already covered
    • Wildberries (Valberis): similar functionality is being developed
    • Yandex Delivery integration: planned (“soon”)

Frameworks / process patterns used

  • Hybrid channel model:
    • Marketplace as one logistics/fulfillment channel
    • Owned store as primary sales + CRM ownership
  • Customer lifecycle / retention funnel:
    • Acquisition (discount/lead capture)
    • Warming (newsletters)
    • Conversion
    • Repeat purchase via loyalty + triggers
  • Process integration principle:
    • Minimize operational changes by syncing orders to OzonSeller + UDS CRM

Key metrics / KPIs mentioned

  • Price: 10,400 RUB/month (fixed)
  • Payment timing: seller receives money within 24 hours
  • Discount example: 500 RUB first-purchase discount
  • No explicit CAC/LTV/churn numbers were provided.

Concrete examples / case-like mentions

  • Platforms where ordering can happen:
    • Web, Telegram, Messenger, upcoming VK
  • Refund validation example:
    • seller may request video/photos before approving returns
  • Media/press references:
    • UDS integration described as covered by major media outlets
    • “Amazon” mentioned as having described the functionality (April 15) in a magazine (per subtitles)
