"On Double Eleven in 2023, Di Sifang achieved a peak daily order volume of 10 million and a total order volume exceeding 50 million. This year's Double Eleven marked the first time Di Sifang adopted a nationwide collection network layout, integrating multi-warehouse coordination and collaboration across various business lines (direct shipping, consolidation, trunk warehousing), as well as upstream-downstream synergy. This was introduced by Lv Chao, General Manager of Di Sifang's First Kilometer Business Unit."

"On November 20th at 12:30:14, Ah Xiang, a cross-border seller from Longwan District, Wenzhou City, placed an order through the '4PX Collection Appointment' mini-program. The Di Sifang collection system calculated the optimal picking route. At 12:32:58, Li Cheng, a driver from the Wenzhou Collection Point of Di Sifang's Export Operations Business Unit, opened the collection app and began receiving dispatch tasks. At 13:06:16, after 36 minutes and 4 seconds, Li Cheng delivered the goods to the warehouse located in the Wenzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, completing the first warehouse sign-off of the day.

"'Double Eleven' is not only a time concept but also a benchmark. The achievement of completing warehouse sign-off within 36 minutes demonstrates Di Sifang's commitment to digitalized operations over the past 19 years, driving innovation in business development, enhancing supply chain operational efficiency for enterprise clients, and providing them with the ultimate logistics experience," said Lv Chao."

"It is reported that Di Sifang has achieved digital monitoring of the entire collection process loop, from ordering, collection, loading, shipping, distribution, to sign-off. This includes tracking vehicle trajectories, transportation routes, and visual monitoring of the entire logistics process. Through a digital-based collection operation system, Di Sifang effectively achieves visual management of orders, rational inventory layout, optimal route planning, and optimal resource allocation."

"As the starting point of the cross-border logistics full chain, the first kilometer is responsible for collecting parcels from designated locations by merchants, and undergoing several processes such as warehouse operations, inter-warehouse transfers, customs clearance, and postal delivery to ensure smooth parcel delivery. Building its own network enables better control over the quality of the entire chain. After all, all requirements for parcels at the aviation end and the delivery end need to be fulfilled by the first kilometer. For example, security standards, which parcels can be loaded onto airplanes, and how to segment end-user demands... If the first kilometer fails to control properly, the subsequent risks and costs for sellers will be very high. Dai Bin, Vice President of Di Sifang and a special researcher at NetEase Research Institute, analyzed that this is also why, at Di Sifang, the Union Post (Small Parcel Special Line) business often kicks off the peak season guarantee from the first kilometer.

On this occasion, the Wenzhou warehouse where Li Cheng completed the first-day warehouse sign-off officially began operations on October 13th. After opening, the Wenzhou warehouse mainly undertakes Union Post (Small Parcel Special Line) business, AliExpress worry-free business, postal agency business, and domestic preferred warehouse business, ensuring that customers' goods can be quickly stored locally. The Wenzhou warehouse consolidates and integrates goods, and processes them through the efficient warehouse operation system for sorting. They are then distributed to distribution centers in East and South China, greatly reducing turnover time through optimized trunk routing adjustments, speeding up flight arrivals in destination countries, and enhancing customer experience."

"This year, Di Sifang has achieved a nationwide network layout for the first time, with multi-warehouse coordination, collaboration across various business lines (direct shipping, consolidation, trunk warehousing), and upstream-downstream synergy. This not only provides integrated services such as doorstep collection, warehouse management, and rapid sorting and shipping for customers in surrounding areas, including Union Post (Small Parcel Special Line) services, but also allows for centralized allocation of transport resources to improve transportation efficiency. This, in turn, enhances the responsiveness of first kilometer services. During this Double Eleven, we achieved historic breakthroughs in last mile delivery rates, timely collection rates, and timely online rates, reflecting the synergy of a nationwide network," summarized Lv Chao.

It is reported that since February 2023, Di Sifang has initiated a first kilometer network expansion plan. The company has added 21 collection warehouses, 2 consolidation warehouses, and 1 sorting warehouse, mainly concentrated in the eastern regions of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, as well as northern regions from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to Huludao, Liaoning, and southwestern regions such as Chengdu and Chongqing. The first phase of the project was basically completed by mid-October. So far, 4PX Di Sifang has established more than 70 collection/distribution service points nationwide, with nearly one million square meters of operating space, laying the foundation for the "One Network" layout.

It is understood that Di Sifang continues to expand its warehouse network in core areas, offering a comprehensive range of warehouse services including Union Post (Small Parcel Special Line). With efficient digital logistics services, it fulfills orders for surrounding cities, supporting doorstep collection for single items. Currently, the company has the capacity to collect Union Post (Small Parcel Special Line) parcels nationwide, making it one of the few cross-border e-commerce logistics companies capable of doorstep collection for single items. It serves large platform customers such as Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Lazada, Walmart, Pinduoduo, and Joom, as well as some independent sellers. In addition, it provides cross-border logistics services for manufacturing companies such as YUQI SENLIN, Midea, and Gree, with a wider business scope.

In recent years, thanks to its nationwide collection network, global last-mile delivery and dispatch services, and the accumulation of resources and capabilities in the last kilometer delivery, Di Sifang has built a high-quality global logistics network. It now provides end-to-end, multi-tiered warehouse and distribution services to 200 countries and regions worldwide, with delivery as fast as 3 days overseas. In the future, Di Sifang will uphold its mission and original intentions, continuing to build the "China Brand" international gateway.
