E-Commerce Logistics in China, handling approximately 7 million orders for Large-Scale Online Shopping Event
A total of 7 million orders received and shipped at China's giant EC event "W11”
In China, the biggest online shopping sale, commonly known as 'W11' (Double Eleven or Singles' Day), takes place on November 11th. It is an extremely large event where over a billion items are traded each year.
W11 is said to have originated in the 1990s when college students gathered to exchange gifts among singles,and is an e-commerce event comparable to the Thanks giving, and Christmas shopping season in terms of gift-giving. Alibaba, China's leading e-commerce platform, noticed this event and started W11 by encouraging singles to "enjoy shopping on Singles' Day." Since then, other e-commerce platforms and physical stores have joined the event, resulting in purchases dozens of times higher than usual. As a result, logistics also experienced an explosion.
Our group company in China, Itochu Logistics (China) Co., Ltd., was one of the first Japanese logistics companies to dain expertise in Chinese e-commerce logistics and W11 support. We handle various aspects of support, including the pre-arrangement of temporary storage warehouses and transportation vehicles, management, temporary recruitment of logistics personnel, call centers, and handling returns.
During the sales period, to ensure the timely delivery of orders, which can exceed 7 million orders handled by the company alone, we have introduced automation equipment in each warehouse to streamline logistics operations and ensure accuracy while striving for unmanned operations.
