New foreign trade doubling speed growth Ali International station digital reshaped the global freight industry standards

"It used to sound bad about foreign trade, with 90% of orders disappearing, but now it's 'crazy' foreign trade..." On September 24, Zhang Kuo, general manager of Alibaba International Website, said that the data of international platform shows that overseas demand has not weakened and new digital foreign trade has entered a period of rapid growth.

China's exports rose 11.6 per cent in August from a year earlier. As the world's largest B2B cross-border e-commerce platform, Alibaba International Has seen an average growth rate of 70% in the past three years, and this year's growth rate is more than 100% compared with last year.

In three years' time, Zhang predicts, alibaba International will generate such digital growth: annual transactions on the platform are expected to exceed $100 billion, with more than 10 million buyers coming to the site.

New digital foreign trade needs to be supported by stronger global logistics service capacity.

Zhang kuo said that Alibaba International Station, together with ecological partners, is deeply integrating global freight service capabilities, reshaping global freight industry standards with digital technology, and building a one-stop global freight network for small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises.

The specific target is: in three years, alibaba International Station will serve 1 million teu (sea freight) and 1 million tons (air freight) of incremental traded commodities through digital trade, "ranking top three in the global freight industry in overall scale".

"We are very confident about the target of a double million." "Said Wang Tiantian, head of cross-border supply chain at Alibaba International.

Join hands with ecological partners to reshape global freight industry standards

"The role of Alibaba International is not to buy a car or a ship, but to redefine the standard of international freight." Zhang Kuo said.

It's important to find "the right partner". Recent important deployments of Alibaba International Site include: establishing "Wenraja" jointly with Huanshi Logistics Group and Cainiao Network, building digital operating system and improving FCL service capability.

"We're not going to dry forwarder and we don't want to be a shipping company." Wang explained that Alibaba International site, based on big data and business flow, can judge the core needs of buyers and sellers, and form close cooperation with shipping companies and other freight infrastructure providers, so as to transform the traditional offline operation process into an expression of online visual, flexible and deterministic services.

First, the improvement of certainty and timeliness.

The freight forwarding system in China has at most 7 levels, which are reduced to 2 levels under the promotion of international stations. In the past half a month, we may not be able to book the cargo space, but now it only takes 3 hours. The data also show that the 10-day delivery rate of express delivery at international stations exceeds 95 percent, the shipping delivery rate is above 90 percent, and the on-time arrival rate of land transport vehicles exceeds 90 percent.

Second, diversified and customized solutions.

International station logistics services, which used to focus mainly on mainlines, now offer door-to-door services to customers who need them by strengthening the first leg (pulling goods to the port) and overseas (distribution) service capabilities.

Many enterprises that want to do foreign trade are not familiar with it. Cross-border logistics is divided into several sections, including tax payable overseas, tax refund in China, and freight...... Alibaba International site has thoroughly studied all the complex rules and standards, forming a one-stop procurement scheme. What buyers see is a transparent "one price". Cross-border purchase is just like local e-commerce shopping, and there is no need to worry about trashing the pit.

Finally, provide a full visual service.

"Before the goods were sent out, the vast sea, where did it go? Just send an email." Zhang kuo said that more than 60 percent of logistics orders from international stations can now be tracked on the APP. In the future, 100 percent coverage will be achieved.

This year, international station Xinbao order logistics has never "dumped the cabinet"

The media described China's exports as a "reversal drama" since the outbreak of the epidemic: work resumed in March, goods ran out in April, ship reduction in May and June, price increase in July, shortage of containers in August and cargo explosion in September.

As the end of the peak season is approaching, the international transport capacity is in emergency, soaring freight rates, the explosion of the tank dump frequency.

Alex, business director of Shenzhen Gaofeng Luggage and leather goods Co., LTD., said that since August, the peak season cabins have to be booked half a month or a month in advance. Container freight from Shanghai to the WEST coast of the US hit an eight-year high, media reported.

"On market one ark is difficult beg, we have ark, throw ark to will compensate!" Zhang Kuo said.

Zhang Kuo also revealed that this fiscal year only 154 days, international station credit guarantee logistics orders more than last year's total, and, "since this year, international station credit guarantee logistics orders have never dumped the ark phenomenon."

The guarantee of "losing the container will pay for it" comes from Alibaba International Station, which has established a global freight network supporting more than 200 countries and regions, covering by sea, land and air.

At present, in this network, there are more than 50 warehouses in China, supporting more than 200 cities to pick up, trailer lines up to 26,000, sea transport can be sent from 28 domestic main ports to 1335 overseas unloading ports.

In view of the shortage of freight capacity, Alibaba International Station provides shipping FCL service for credit guarantee orders with 100% space protection. The platform algorithm intelligently selects the optimal route for customers, simultaneously monitors the warehouses and routes in real time and dynamically adjusts the capacity.

In response to the price increase, to ensure the stability of the freight rate of the global trade trunk line, during the Procurement festival in September, the Sino-Us clipper line only costs 10 yuan/kg; Ensure that small and medium customers and big customers enjoy the "same price", and constantly introduce discounts.

Wang recalled that for a period of time, the price of air transportation between China and the United States was inflated from 27 yuan/kg to 190 yuan. International stations cooperated with service providers to launch the mode of "shipping package", which was faster and slower than air transportation but more affordable.

Alex said that his company has dynamically selected different logistics service providers to prepare for the overseas peak season. Among them, the logistics service of Ali International Station has advantages in terms of route planning, price and timeliness.
