Recently, one of the topics that has been talked about in the express delivery industry is that Cainiao International Express can achieve hourly delivery in Spain at the fastest. According to relevant authoritative media reports, Ms. Sophie, a Madrid girl, ordered a hiking backpack in the morning, and a rookie courier appeared at her door 2 hours later. In Spain, most online purchases cannot be expected to be delivered within 3 days.
On July 7, Cainiao International Express announced the opening of weekend delivery and intra-city delivery services in core cities in Spain, continuously enriching and optimizing local logistics and distribution services.
At present, Cainiao International Express covers more than 30 cities in Spain, and the weekend delivery service has landed in core urban areas such as Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia, so that the express delivery can be delivered in an average of 1-2 days after collection, and the packages of consumers in these areas are expected to be delivered to their homes on weekends; In addition, Cainiao's intra-city distribution service also covers a number of core cities in Spain and Portugal, serving local offline chain stores and supermarkets with O2O instant delivery services. For example, in Lisbon, Portugal, local consumers can place an order on the website of the DIA supermarket chain (Dia Tiantian Supermarket), and Cainiao will match a nearby courier to pick up the order at the supermarket store and complete the delivery within an average of 1.5 hours. In June this year, the volume of cross-border parcels in Spain increased by more than 60% year-on-year. In addition, Cainiao has also landed overseas logistics infrastructure in Spain, such as overseas warehouse groups, automated distribution centers, and 6 major distribution stations, which can cover different logistics scenarios such as cross-border small packages, local warehouse delivery, landing distribution, and intra-city distribution.
But Cainiao's overseas layout is not achieved by "throwing money" and big bags: it is achieved through multi-party cooperation. Cainiao has also reached stable cooperation with global air, sea, rail, land and local end-of-line distribution companies, leveraging each other's strength to build an efficient and high-quality logistics ecosystem. Under the macro proposition of cross-border e-commerce, Cainiao is weaving a logistics network in many regions of the world through strong layout capabilities, intelligent solutions based on science and technology, and increasingly deep cooperation capabilities, breaking through barriers and covering the whole link, which not only compresses transportation and distribution costs, but also improves the timeliness of logistics, so that cross-border e-commerce "bridges through China and foreign countries, and Tianguan adapts".
