JD Logistics and Biedronka announced a partnership in which the Polish grocery giant will leverage JD Logistics' warehousing and distribution capability in the country to fulfil its online orders and expand its online business.
JD Logistics manages over 1,500 warehouses in China and overseas, and offers end-to-end integrated supply chain services.
JD Logistics said its 15,000 sqm warehouse in Poland has been customized to fulfil all of Biedronka's online orders and to enable speedy delivery within as fast as 24 hours.
"JD Logistics is honoured to cooperate with Biedronka," said Zhong Zhang, a senior director of JD Logistics Europe. "Our strong end-to-end supply chain capabilities and experiences in omnichannel fulfilment will help boost Biedronka's online business transformation."
Jakub Knauer, logistics projects manager at Biedronka, noted the strong growth in the retailer's e-commerce business.
"E-commerce logistics demands deep expertise and we are glad to have JD Logistics as a powerful partner in our online retail development," Knauer said.
"Together we were able to build a landscape of integrated IT systems for efficient inventory, and outbound and inbound management. JD Logistics' services have enabled us to efficiently fulfil online orders, even in the face of a 17-fold increase in the daily number of orders."
Currently, JD Logistics' international business operates approximately 90 bonded warehouses, international direct mail warehouses and overseas warehouses, covering an aggregate GFA of approximately 900,000 square meters with an over 70% increase year-over-year.
Jeronimo Martins Polska S.A. is the owner of Biedronka - the largest retail chain in Poland, which has been serving the Polish market for 27 years. As of the end of the third quarter of 2022, the chain has 3,304 stores located in more than 1,100 towns and cities.
