Abstract
The logistics business, like others, is undergoing dramatic transformations as a result of the worldwide digitization movement. The logistics industry in China, as a critical pillar of economic development, faces enormous potential for growth. Digital transformation has emerged as a fundamental driver for the logistics industry, with the potential to significantly improve logistics efficiency, cost, and user experience through technological and model changes. This article examines the digital transformation of the Chinese logistics business, using Jingdong Logistics as a sample case study. It investigates how Jingdong Logistics has significantly improved logistics efficiency through digital transformation, as well as an in-depth investigation of how it serves as an industry leader in this regard. The purpose of this study is to highlight Jingdong Logistics' digital transformation success stories, as well as provide useful references and inspiration for the digital transformation of the logistics industry and other industries. The number of firms participating in digital logistics has increased significantly across the country, and the market size has continued to grow, indicating the powerful significance of digital transformation in driving the logistics industry's expansion. Jingdong has significantly improved logistical efficiency by leveraging elements such as data-driven decision-making, process automation, and precision marketing, resulting in a more convenient and personalized shopping experience for customers. Jingdong not only focuses on improving its own operating efficiency, but it also actively provides digital procurement services to the real economy, supporting inclusive and shared growth in the logistics industry.
