近年来,中通表达积极再保险sponded to the call of the National Post Bureau and the Ministry of Commerce for the "Express to the West" service expansion project, promoted the standardization of township service outlets, and continued to develop "Sannong" delivery services, dedicated to satisfying the new era of rural delivery New demand for services.

As the domestic epidemic prevention and control situation continues to improve, the production order of the express delivery and logistics industries has quickly recovered. Zhongtong Express data shows that as of now, operations outside Hubei Province have basically recovered, and market share has returned to the level before the epidemic. Since the Wuhan transshipment center resumed operation on the evening of March 20, the express mail sorting volume has maintained rapid growth, and the current daily business volume has increased to 1.1 million pieces, and the overall production capacity has been restored to 50%; the resumption rate of outlets in Wuhan has exceeded 90%. At present, couriers from Wuhan Zhongtong outlets are still returning to their posts one after another, and the number of dispatched items will gradually return to normal.

"The express delivery company is not only a new force for epidemic prevention and control, but also a pioneer in restoring production." Lai Meisong, chairman of Zhongtong Express Group, said that during the epidemic, the courier brother delivered rescue materials day and night, protecting people's livelihood needs, guarding a better life The confidence that the epidemic will win.

This "little bee" spirit has been verified in Zhongtong's transcripts last year.

Statistics show that in 2019, the cumulative business volume of Zhongtong Express Group exceeded 10 billion pieces, becoming the first express company in China and the world to set this record.

"Express delivery is the link between commodities and users, as well as the bridge between production and consumption. The new starting point of tens of billions means heavier responsibility, more responsibility, and higher pursuit."

Technology empowers express delivery to run faster

According to data released by the State Post Bureau recently, the express delivery business volume in 2019 reached 63 billion pieces, a year-on-year increase of 24%, equivalent to 45 express parcels per capita. Among them, more than 10 billion express delivery was completed by Zhongtong Express.

Transport efficiency should be one of the important reasons for more consumers to choose Zhongtong. One proof is that during the "Double 11" period last year, Zhongtong Express beat the companies in the same industry and won the "first order" of the same day warehouse and distribution industry.

How did Zhongtong win this annual "big test"?

At the Zhongtong Express West Yunnan Transshipment Center in Dali City, Yunnan Province, the reporter saw that the intelligent cross-belt express parcel sorting system was running smoothly.

“智能分类系统可以处理24,000 parcels per hour, and the sorting accuracy rate is 99.99%, which not only greatly reduces the cost, but also improves the timelines of express transshipment." Liao Tixiong, head of Zhongtong Express West Yunnan Transit Center, told reporters. The center's business covers 8 cities including Dali, Lijiang, Baoshan, Lincang, Nujiang and Diqing, with an average daily delivery volume of more than 200,000.

"With the intelligent sorting system in use and the effective application of intelligent identification, computer barcodes, wireless radio frequency and other technologies, our average daily handling capacity at full load is expected to reach 600,000 pieces, and the delivery time in the western Yunnan area will increase by 0.5 to 1 working day. "Liao Tixiong said.

In recent years, Zhongtong Express has been strengthening its investment and construction in the field of science and technology. They have independently developed software systems and digital tools such as Zhongtian, Zhangzhongtong, Shenzhou, Pangu, Baohe, and Express Butler, which have built a convenient technical platform for the full-chain digital management of packages.

On this basis, Zhongtong Technology has also launched many technology products for all links of the entire express delivery link, so that the parcels can be delivered to users in a safer, more efficient, and green manner. For example, they invested 1 million recyclable canvas bags with RFID chips. It is understood that the RFID chip can identify high-speed moving objects, collect real-time information on package transit and regional flow, and realize the entire tracking function of package transportation. This canvas bag can be reused, with a "life cycle" of 4 to 6 months.
