ALIBABA's logistics arms, Cainiao Smart
Logistics Network (Cainiao Network) announced that it plans to operate over 700 chartered flights to deliver 90 per cent of its parcels outside
China shopping festival on November 11 (11.11).
Cainiao
estimates that more than half of these cross-border parcels will see a 60 per
cent reduction in delivery time due to smart order consolidation. Customers in
key European cities such as Madrid, Paris, Berlin and Warsaw will receive their parcels in as fast as three days. Best-selling
products such as sweeping robots, vacuum cleaners and
toolboxes are also pre-stocked in Cainiao's overseas warehouses prior to the event.
Cainiao
is witnessing growing participation from overseas merchants in the global
event. This year, Cainiao will operate over 3,000 chartered flights and
long-haul cargo ships bound for China to cater to the growing demand from
Chinese consumers. This will bring about a 10 per cent increase in
delivery efficiency for goods shipped into China. Over 300 million goods from
84 countries and regions are imported to China via Cainiao's extensive global
supply chain network. The most popular imported goods include pet food, healthcare and beauty products.
"In gearing up for 11.11 each year, technology plays a critical role in
the successful execution and delivery of billions of e-commerce parcels
worldwide. Today, 90 per cent of our parcels are tagged with electronic shipping
labels and this has fast become a de facto industry standard to achieve full
visibility. This year, we will be marrying cutting-edge technology with a
world-class logistics network to create a truly global infrastructure that can
bolster the eCommerce boom," says James Zhao, general manager, Cainiao Network.
11.11 is the largest online shopping event
globally and has consistently set new sales record year on year. Last year the
gross merchandise value reached US$38.3 billion, double that of Black Friday
($7.4 billion) and Cyber Monday ($9.4 billion) combined.
