The service is expected to cover the urban area of ​​Guangzhou at the end of August and gradually expand to the peripheral area. Small-size logistics "one day Three will be as standard. "

In addition to accelerating the logistics system upgrade, the traditional "shopkeeper" rediscovered the unique value of offline stores in logistics and services. Unlike the pure e-commerce platform, Gome and Suning opened a large number of stores across the national market during the competition in the pre-internet era. These "heavy assets" were once regarded as a burden during the transition to the Internet, shutting down and shrinking , But now stores are becoming "e-commerce" to create an important carrier of online and offline O2O mode.

It is noteworthy that the opening of the logistics business has gradually become the trend of electricity business, Gome and Suning also announced the establishment of an independent logistics company, in addition to providing services for their own, but also will gradually serve third-party merchants, thus its logistics advantages Better "cash". "In the past, logistics was the cost center, but now it is the cost and profit center," said an electricity business person.
