Kerry Logistics Network Limited (Kerry Logistics) has launched a new international e-commerce express solution under its E-commerce & Express division Kerry eCommerce in collaboration with S.F. Express (Hong Kong) Limited for cross-border services from the city to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

 
Samuel Lau, managing director - of Integrated Logistics North Asia of Kerry Logistics Network, said the partnership will provide more economical and speedier delivery service to the said Asian countries and will benefit SMEs. 

"The e-commerce market in Southeast Asia is experiencing massive growth and the demand for cross-border e-commerce logistics and last-mile delivery is enormous," Lau said, adding that the tie-up will utilise Kerry Logistics' extensive presence in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and SF's reach in Hong Kong.

"This new solution empowers e-tailers to strengthen their delivery capabilities and extend their overseas footprint, which will in turn give them a greater competitive advantage in the marketplace," Lau added.

In a statement, Kerry Logistics noted that the international e-commerce express solution is devised to target SMEs in Hong Kong for deliveries to overseas markets.

It combines the core competencies of the two parties, namely, SF's extensive network of over 100 self-operated network points and sizeable logistics and distribution team in Hong Kong, and KEC's strong in-house customs clearance and express capabilities in Asia.
 
Underscoring the streamlined process of this solution, Kerry Logistics noted that SMEs can drop off their packages at one of the SFHK self-operated network points across Hong Kong or schedule a pickup by SFHK.

The parcels will then be consolidated by KEC for customs clearance, air freight and last-mile fulfilment.
