Dada’s Smart Delivery SaaS System aims to empower delivery service providers, enhance rider stickiness, and accelerate the industry’s digitalization. Leveraging the crowdsourcing model, it provides integrated delivery solutions including digitalized rider management, smart order recommendation and dispatching for retailers and service providers. To date, the system has established partnerships with multiple chain brands and delivery service providers, including JD Liquor World, Seven Fresh Supermarket, and Liansheng Group.
Unlike traditional e-commerce, on-demand retail requires quicker and better delivery for consumers. It’s challenging to manage delivery teams for offline fulfillment and achieve high efficiency. Dada Now identified this anomaly, as most retail chains lack the ability to develop their own delivery management system, and has now launched the SaaS system to accelerate the digitalization of the on-demand delivery industry.
