"To achieve comprehensive on-demand order fulfillment for retailing stores, it requires more than the last-mile delivery service. We need to extend warehousing, picking and other services related to order fulfillment to empower retailers in an all-process way," said Jun Yang, Co-Founder, Director and CTO of Dada Group when explaining why Dada Now is committed to improving warehousing-picking-delivery service capabilities for order fulfillment.

For "picking" service, Dada Picking pioneers the digitalized order picking service in the industry with the Canghai system, and helps merchants recruit crowdsourced pickers, achieve the digital and product-based picking operations and management, and improve efficiency and quality of omni-channel order picking. Dada Picking's data showed that compared with the pre-application, the picking time of the service reduced by 15%, while the hourly picking speed increased by 18%. During this year's Double 11 Festival, Dada Picking service would be applied in more supermarket chains, including Walmart, CR Vanguard, CP Lotus, Yonghui Superstores, Carrefour, and 7 Fresh.
