At the Alibaba International Logistics and Customs Partner Conference held on April 12th, Alibaba International announced that it will open a B2B logistics dedicated line this year to jointly build a logistics ecosystem with partners and further enhance the logistics efficiency and certainty of B2B semi custodial services.
In order to better support semi custodial merchants, Alibaba International Logistics will vigorously improve delivery punctuality and accelerate logistics efficiency this year. At the same time, based on the characteristics of B2B foreign trade, dedicated lines will be opened for more special categories, and more central warehouses will be launched in the future.
Currently, in core markets such as the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom, the timeliness and punctuality of semi custodial orders on Alibaba International have significantly improved, and they promise to compensate for late arrivals.
Since the beginning of this year, Alibaba International has taken the lead in launching B2B semi custodial services, allowing sellers to entrust complex cross-border logistics to the platform on the basis of independent operation and pricing. As a result, even domestic merchants without experience in foreign trade can simply open up overseas business, greatly reducing the threshold for participation in foreign trade.
The cross-border e-commerce model has entered the era of accelerated hosting, and Alibaba International Logistics will provide more intelligent and efficient logistics services for small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises, helping them to go global in a minimalist way, "said Wei Ran, General Manager of Alibaba International Logistics Customs Business Department.
The improvement of B2B logistics experience not only enhances the satisfaction of overseas buyers, but also accelerates the repurchase rate of buyers. Ye Yuanzhen, the general manager of Xiamen Ningqi, who specializes in sexy hip-hop women's clothing, as one of the * * * batch of semi managed merchants joining Alibaba International Station, has felt the new changes brought by * *'s logistics experience to peak season business.
In addition to global on-time delivery, Alibaba International Logistics has integrated more than 30 professional routes to provide specialized transportation services for special products such as electrified goods, liquids, cosmetics, and heavy foam goods that have been difficult to ship for a long time, in response to the new characteristics of B2B foreign trade. In the future, Alibaba International Station will also launch multiple central warehouses in East and South China to further enhance its logistics capabilities.
In addition, Alibaba International Station has launched a Sunshine Public Service Project to assist cross-border B-class merchants in facilitating customs clearance, which has helped over 300 small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises achieve a convenient and transparent customs clearance process.
It is predicted that the scale increment of the overseas spot wholesale market entered by Alibaba International's semi custodial platform will be in the trillion dollar range. Industry insiders say, "To enter this new market, deterministic logistics services are key." Therefore, the core of Alibaba International Station's logistics upgrade this time is "determinism," making logistics prices more transparent, delivery time more accurate, and after-sales more guaranteed.
Industry insiders analyze that Alibaba International Station Logistics, as a digital logistics platform, has new cross-border logistics technologies such as the "Global Logistics Trajectory Tracking Platform" on one hand, and a massive number of overseas merchants on the other. In addition, with the daily growth of logistics orders after the launch of semi custodial services, it will form a benign two-way ecological effect with logistics service providers.
