SHENZHEN logistics giant SF Express has entered into a partnership with San Francisco?s Flexport to enable the online forwarder to provide customers with a one-stop-shop for air freight, including full container load (FCL) ocean shipping, air cargo and final-mile services (customs clearance and last-mile delivery) in the US and European Union.
Working together, Flexport and SF Express will connect data and platforms to provide more advanced logistics services to address the specific needs of Chinese companies. The partnership will allow Chinese businesses to gain real-time visibility into the status of shipments through the Flexport platform while taking advantage of data automation and analytics to develop more efficient processes and procedures.
'Our collaboration with SF Express will enable us to further improve end-to-end services and operational capabilities, helping us to elevate the user experience to the next level, both within and outside of China,' said Flexport Asia managing director Henry Ko, reported Mumbai's STAT Trade Times.
In April 2018, Flexport secured US$100 million in funding from SF Express. SF Express joined existing investors including First Round Capital, Bloomberg Beta, Founders Fund, DST and Y Combinator.
Said SF Express Group CEO Keith Ip: 'SF Express and Flexport will fully leverage each other's strengths while continuing to promote future innovation and introduce ever-more competitive logistics solutions. By expanding cross-border B2B business capabilities, we aim to create significant value for our customers.'
