December 5, 2022

JD Logistics announced the opening of its second warehouse in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates which can provide end-to-end supply chain services that cover Asia, Africa and Europe for local and cross-border merchants.

 

The Chinese logistics company said the new warehouse is located in Dubai Industrial City, a 20-minute drive from the Port of Jebel Ali.

 

It has an area of 12,000 square meters, providing logistics services ranging from concentrated transportation, sea transportation, air transportation, transition, and customs clearance to warehousing, sorting, labelling, drop shipping and more, for both bulky and small to medium-sized products, and meeting both B2C and B2B fulfilment requirements.

 

JD Logistics noted that the warehouse is fitted with its self-developed management system, and can digitally manage inbound and outbound inventory, thus precisely predicting the trends and allocating distribution resources accordingly to improve logistics efficiency.

 

JD Logistics said through its self-developed warehouse management system, it is also helping Fordeal — an emerging cross-border e-commerce platform in the Middle East — to build an intelligent inventory management system which can manage inventory digitally and make forecasts and plans accurately.

 

JD Logistics said it also provides an intelligent packing recommendation system to save more packaging materials.

 

"JD Logistics provides us with customized services and a special team to handle inventory," said Yun Qing, head of Fordeal warehousing in Dubai. "It is amazing that with the help of JD Logistics, our warehousing efficiency doubled and costs decreased by 30%."
 
At the same time, cross-border merchants can choose to stock their goods in this local warehouse that is nearer to their customers.

 

Chinese merchants can also choose to deliver goods to one of JD’s warehouses in China, and JD Logistics will help handle the rest of the work including international transportation, transition, customs clearance, warehousing, last-mile delivery and more.
 
Siyuan Yue, head of JD Logistics Dubai Warehouse said JD's warehouse in Dubai provides clients with integrated logistics solutions, optimizing the international transportation routes greatly.
 
As early as 2020, JD Logistics began to operate in the Middle East, and its first warehouse was launched in the largest free trade zone in the region, Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), offering logistics services spanning GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries and reaching to continent Africa.

 

JD Logistics operates over 1,400 warehouses in China, in addition to approximately 90 bonded warehouses, international direct mail warehouses and overseas warehouses globally.
