JINGDONG Logistics Details Global Network Build-Out and JoyLogistics Operations Expansion
JINGDONG Logistics has detailed its international supply chain infrastructure build-out and the expansion of its JoyLogistics operations. The initiative focuses on scaling a warehouse-centric third-party logistics (3PL) model.
BEIJING – JINGDONG Logistics (HKEX: 2618), also known as JD Logistics, has released an operational overview of its international supply chain infrastructure, detailing the strategic expansion of its multimodal capacity and overseas fulfillment networks. The initiative focuses on scaling a warehouse-centric third-party logistics (3PL) model designed to integrate international transportation with localized storage, fulfillment, and delivery through its specialized international brands, JoyLogistics and JoyExpress.
JoyLogistics serves as JINGDONG Logistics' international supply chain solutions and 3PL brand. The division provides businesses with integrated logistics services encompassing cross-border transportation, bonded and overseas warehousing, inventory management, order fulfillment, last-mile delivery, and specialized supply chain technology solutions. The model aims to position goods closer to demand, targeting shortened delivery timelines and improved inventory efficiency.
The company employs a warehouse-centric approach, connecting international transportation networks with local storage, fulfillment, delivery, and returns processes. This strategy impacts container trade by enabling bulk replenishment instead of parcel-by-parcel shipping. JINGDONG Logistics builds upon JD.com's internal logistics operations, initially established in 2007.
The company's global air network plan, "11668," targets the establishment of a global air hub at Wuhu, a main base at Nantong, six regional air hubs, and 68 freighter stations. The plan focuses on routes spanning Europe and North America, with the intent to control a larger portion of mainline lift capacity rather than relying solely on purchased capacity.
