In this article (4)
As part of its ongoing commitment to provide efficient, secure, and quality express services amid the growing demand for domestic and international delivery, J&T Express Singapore today announced the opening of two new warehouses in Singapore at Changi Airfreight Center and Penjuru.
A first for J&T Express, the strategic location of the new warehouse at Changi Airfreight Center is part of J&T Express’ expansion plans to offer quality international delivery services to customers locally and regionally. The new warehouse will help to improve the processes and flow of international parcels between the airport and the sorting hubs. It will also allow J&T Express to provide tighter control and a higher service level for the delivery of international parcels.
The warehouse at Changi Airfreight Center will also serve as a strategic hub for transhipment within the J&T network including Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, and China. The new warehouse will help optimise the shipping lane planning and lower operational costs through greater collaborations within J&T Express’ global network, in turn ensuring greater efficiency and security in the transit of parcels from these countries.
As part of its strategy to develop a nationwide warehouse network and to strengthen its position as a one-stop e-commerce solutions provider, J&T Express has also unveiled a new fulfilment centre at Penjuru to meet the growing demand for e-commerce warehousing solutions within Singapore. The 82,000 square feet fulfilment centre will enable J&T Express to onboard more fulfilment clients with a seamless e-commerce experience.
In line with J&T Express’ ongoing digitalisation efforts, the new fulfilment centre will also be equipped with an integrated e-commerce warehouse management system (eWMS) to optimise the fulfilment management from inventory and orders to transport flows and last-mile deliveries. As a one-stop e-commerce specialist, J&T Express also looks to increase employee headcount to support fulfilment operations and data analysis to cater for the growing demand driven by the e-commerce boom.
“The 82,000 square feet fulfilment centre will enable J&T Express to onboard more fulfilment clients with a seamless e-commerce experience.”
Complementing its expansion efforts, J&T Express also announced its first wave of J&T points across Singapore, which is currently available to both its VIP and selected e-commerce platform sellers to support the upcoming Single’s Day shopping festival. The J&T points aim to provide sellers with greater flexibility when making shipping arrangements by enabling them to drop off parcels at their own convenience and receive real-time tracking.
The island-wide network of service points will also support J&T Express in handling the anticipated year-end delivery spikes with greater efficiency. J&T Express will look to expand access to more users, and gradually establish more service points across the country.
Commenting on the recent milestones, Andrew Sim, CEO of J&T Express Singapore, said that these developments not only reflect the company’s commitment to drive service excellence in the logistics industry, but also strengthening J&T Express’ position as a one-stop e-Commerce specialist across each and every touchpoint across the value chain.
Mr Sim added, “Singapore is an exciting growth market for J&T Express, and we are focused on building our business in the country due to its strategic location within Southeast Asia. At J&T Express, we are committed to providing efficient, secure, and quality express services to our customers and the expansion of our network of warehouses in Singapore and the launch of J&T points will help us to build stronger relationships with our customers and enable us to meet the growing demand for domestic and international delivery not only in Singapore but also across the region.”
