Changshu, January 30, 2024 - The Spring Festival is approaching, and major e-commerce platforms have launched the "New Year's Shopping Festival" one after another. Superimposed on the national cold wave, the sales of down jackets, cotton jackets and other categories in Changshu have soared. It is reported that many Changshu clothing merchants are often busy until one or two in the morning recently. As orders rise rapidly, all kinds of winter clothing from Changshu have also been packed into express packages, running in the "New Year's Spring Festival" in 2024.
Faced with the temporary surge in orders and the pressure of returning staff to their hometowns during the Spring Festival, many merchants found that the courier service during the New Year's Shopping Festival was a little behind. At this critical moment, Jitu became the first choice for many merchants due to its rapid response speed and high degree of cooperation. Miss Wang, who owns a down jacket factory, said: "Among the three logistics service providers that often connect with each other, Jitu has the fastest response speed and high cooperation during the New Year's Shopping Festival. There is a temporary collection demand during the New Year's Shopping Festival. After Jitu received the call, the courier quickly came to pick it up."
For this well-known peak, Wang Xincheng, head of Jitu Changshu area, introduced that in order to ensure the operation during the New Year's Shopping Festival, Jitu Changshu area has increased express personnel and vehicles in advance, and an additional 500,000 yuan budget has been added to motivate and subsidize front-line employees to ensure the operation during the New Year's Shopping Festival. Changshu Transit Center has temporarily added nearly 90 temporary workers; according to personnel inspection, the entire Jitu Suzhou Spring Festival left-behind staff is expected to be around 2,800.
In recent years, with the rapid development of e-commerce transactions, clothing consumption has gradually been diverted from offline to online, and the sales link of Changshu's clothing industry belt has also begun to change. Among them, express delivery companies such as Jitu have undoubtedly provided strong support for Changshu's clothing merchants by building a stable and effective logistics system, and have also injected strong impetus into the local transformation and upgrading.
At the end of October last year, the Jitu Changshu Transit Center was officially put into operation. Through close cooperation with the express outlets up and down the stairs, the "seamless" docking was achieved, which greatly reduced the loading, unloading and transportation time, significantly shortened the branch line time, and greatly improved the efficiency of package transfer. At present, the Changshu Transit Center has opened more than 40 direct lines. After production, the timeliness of trunk lines in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui and surrounding provinces and cities has been significantly improved. For example, the timeliness of packages sent from Suzhou to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui is about 26 hours. Now the fastest can reach 19 hours, which can be shortened by an average of five or six hours, greatly improving the peak of the local express market. It also provides a solid foundation for express delivery in the Changshu Garment Industry Belt.
Looking to the future, as the Changshu garment industry belt continues to move towards high-quality development, express logistics will be more closely linked with the economic development of the garment industry. The relevant person in charge revealed that Jitu Express will continue to reform according to the product characteristics of the Changshu garment industry, and the Changshu Transit Center, as an important hub in Suzhou, will carry out capacity upgrades after the year to enhance market service capabilities.
