China’s largest online retailer, JD.com Inc. has established a new business group, JD Logistics, which will leverage the company’s advanced technology and logistics expertise to provide supply chain and logistics services to its customers.
Wang Zhenhui, Senior Vice President of JD.com and Head of Fulfillment Operations, will serve as CEO of JD Logistics, reporting directly to Richard Liu, Chairman and CEO of JD.com.
“In the 10 years since JD.com launched China’s first B2C logistics network, we have redefined what consumers expect from an e-commerce experience,” stated Richard Liu. “This move is a major step
in our vision to make technology even more central to what we do over the next 12 years. Leveraging our unparalleled access to data from every step of the e-commerce process, from ordering to
delivery and after-sales service, JD Logistics will use big data and automation to once again redefine the potential of e-commerce logistics.” The manager added saying that JD Logistics can
revolutionize China’s commercial infrastructure and become the global model for smart supply chain solutions.
