Ms Beth Bao, Director of JD Logistics Strategic Planning delivered a talk together with Mr Fu, focusing on exploring picking path optimisation, dynamic routing planning, smart delivery and unmanned technology; as well as solutions and challenges in large-scale urban delivery for e-commerce.   They raised the question, “Should the logistics industry be in form of technology-driven logistics or logistics technology in the future?”

 

Mr Stephen Chan talked about the positioning of SME in the e-commerce era.  He said SME can stay competitive by making a balance between automation and investment.  In addition, the source of experienced and trainable labour force and the availability of infrastructure were also crucial.

 

Mr Reeve Kwan shared with participants the current operations of GOGOVAN which is the first on-demand logistics and transportation platform in Asia.  Their success was rested on the wise application of data through different analytic tools on route, product, driver profiling, scheduling, etc.

 

Dr Anthony Lau shared his experiences on the major changes of e-commerce in the past ten years and future development, especially in China.  With fast development in E-Commerce, Dr  Lau highlighted an issue: whether positive or negative impacts will be incurred on job opportunities?

 

Mr K K Leung shared his insights on the trends of online shopping in Asia, the importance of maintaining the post-sales services and the key of delivery flexibility.  Despite the rapid grow of online shoppers, Mr. Leung considered in-store shopping still has a role to play and important.

 

Mr Jeffrey Tse talked about the Alibaba ecosystem and mentioned that China has the world’s largest e-retail market and mobile internet user base.  He explained how Alibaba linked up global suppliers with global buyers through its global network.
