Alibaba International Station's digital foreign trade services have been further enhanced with digital logistics services, with more than 26,000 global transport lines

On September 3 , Alibaba International Station launched digital cross-border B2B logistics services ( Alibaba.com Logistics ) and OKKI - a digital solution for independent stations for global cross-border companies at the " 2022 China International Fair for Trade in Services".

Wang Tiantian, general manager of Alibaba International Station's Chinese suppliers and cross-border supply chain, revealed that the digital cross-border B2B logistics service ( Alibaba.com logistics ) has more than 26,000 dedicated transport lines in more than 220 countries and regions around the world , realizing fast multimodal transport by sea, land and air. Among them, the "worry-free China-US charter flight line" with three flights a week has accumulated more than 900,000 orders and carried more than 100 million US dollars in cargo value . The OKKI " independent station " solution is the last piece of the puzzle to complete the cross-border supply chain service after Alibaba International Station launched cross-border logistics, cross-border payment, credit insurance, compliance and other functions. This means that Alibaba International Station has a truly full-link, full-scenario, and full-factor digital comprehensive service capability from transaction to delivery to after-sales service. It can help small and medium-sized businesses receive orders, ship goods, and receive payments in the face of many uncertain new situations, and achieve high-quality growth.

The reporter learned that Alibaba International Station's digital cross-border B2B logistics service ( Alibaba.com logistics ) integrates the previously scattered transportation capacity into a one-stop visual logistics solution.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, deterministic logistics services have been an urgent need for foreign trade merchants . " This ' certainty ' does not mean ' the sooner the better ' , but it can arrive on time according to the merchant's plan: if it arrives early , it may involve more storage fees, and if it arrives late, it may not be delivered on time. " Wang Tiantian introduced , " Alibaba International Station's logistics services have achieved thousands of merchants and thousands of services, meeting the needs of cross-border B2B buyers and sellers , and providing a set of digital logistics solutions around the overall chain of foreign trade orders from transaction to delivery ."

As China's foreign trade enters an era of high-quality growth   More and more Chinese cross-border merchants have realized the importance of building corporate brands, and " independent stations " have become a track for grasping brand expansion overseas and quickly entering the private domain operation of cross-border business.

Based on this, Alibaba International Station released OKKI , a digital solution for independent stations. It is not just an "independent station", but a complete "independent station" solution that understands foreign trade, buyers, and merchants, and integrates professional accumulation and digital service capabilities.

Wang Tiantian said that an independent station is not only an independent website in a private domain, but also helps companies create a closed loop of cross-border business growth from four dimensions: marketing acquisition, customer conversion, delivery fulfillment, and compliant operations.

As the first business unit of Alibaba Group when it was founded in 1999, the International Station has maintained steady growth in recent years. At the beginning of this year, it proposed to move from a marketing platform to a service platform and launched a " digital export " plan for all foreign trade merchants. Thanks to the continuous investment in infrastructure in key links such as cross-border transactions, logistics, and payment over the years, the full-process digital foreign trade service has become the second growth curve of the International Station, using deterministic digital products and services to help small and medium-sized foreign trade merchants better cope with the uncertainties and difficulties in all aspects of foreign trade.

" This full-process digital integrated service is valuable to merchants in that it helps them receive orders, ship goods, and receive payments. It greatly improves the efficiency of cross-border trade, reduces risks, and increases certainty. " Industry insiders believe that from the perspective of the future development of the industry, China's cross-border e-commerce is developing rapidly. According to customs statistics, China's cross-border e-commerce imports and exports have increased nearly 10 times in five years , reaching 1.92 trillion last year, an increase of 18.6% . Cross-border e-commerce has significantly lowered the threshold for international trade specialization, allowing a large number of private small and micro entities that do not know how to do, cannot afford, or cannot do it to become operators of new types of trade.
