China – JD.com (Jingdong) has announced its partnership with UK-based parcel delivery company Evri to empower and enable the further growth of British and European businesses in the Chinese market.
The newly-inked partnership aims to assist European businesses selling their products on JD.com’s marketplace.
JD.com will enhance its pick-up service to European and UK businesses, including local pick-ups, warehousing, international transportation, access to Chinese bonded warehouses, customs clearance, and comprehensive delivery across China.
Additionally, JD Logistics will leverage Evri’s local distribution network and their self-operated overseas warehouses to provide integrated warehousing and comprehensive delivery solutions to their clients in Europe.
Combining JD.com’s advanced e-commerce capabilities with Evri’s extensive delivery network, this partnership is set to offer a more seamless and efficient gateway for European businesses to access and promote to customers in China.
Moreover, Evri’s partners will also have access to valuable insights on the Chinese market. This includes data on consumer behaviour, marketing and pricing strategies, product selection advice, and online operational strategies that are only specific to this market.
The partnership will initially focus on areas where JD.com has substantial insights in terms of customers’ shopping preferences, such as in the beauty and apparel sectors.
David Saenz, chief growth officer at Evri, said, “This is an exciting partnership between Evri and JD.com and a powerful testament to the growing synergy between the UK and Chinese economies. By combining our expertise and resources, we’re supporting the growth of British businesses in new markets and also fostering sustainable growth for both Evri and JD.com. We’re confident that this collaboration will pave the way for a vibrant future of innovation and collaboration in the e-commerce landscape.”
Meanwhile, Qun Xue, vice president of JD.com and head of JD Logistics International, shared, “By integrating Evri’s extensive delivery network with our cutting-edge e-commerce and logistics solutions, JD.com is enhancing our service capabilities in Europe and simultaneously offering European brands a direct and efficient pathway to the expansive Chinese market.
