Ninja Van Thailand, a Southeast Asian logistics provider, has announced it has launched a campaign to increase its market share in the express logistics market in Thailand by seeking business partners to open Ninja Van parcel pick-up and drop-off (PUDO) stores. As part of the company’s expansion plans to future-proof its volume growth trajectory, Ninja Van Thailand aims to cover three regions in 34 provinces with a target of 1,000 stores by mid-2022. The company is also expected to open a new warehouse by mid-2022 to keep up with the ever-growing e-commerce industry.
It has also set up special teams to handle the increase in parcel delivery volume, estimated to be 30% more than usual, due to the upcoming Christmas and New Year holiday online shopping.
Chief Operating Officer of Ninja Van Thailand Pierce Ng commented: “The e-commerce and logistics industries have experienced an immense growth due to the increase in consumers’ spending on online shopping during the spread of COVID-19. Ninja Van Thailand experienced an increase of 40% in its parcel delivery business while the increase in all of Asia was by 100%. It is expected to keep increasing next year as e-commerce continues to grow and become number one in the trading business as the world faces the challenges of COVID-19.”
The company is seeking business partners in three different types of parcel delivery:
At present, Ninja Van Thailand has a total of 150 parcel delivery PUDO stores in central, western and eastern regions.
Those interested in a partnership with Ninja Van Thailand can apply via the company’s Facebook, Call Centre or LINE Official account. Currently, the company has had over 1,000 interested applicants.
Ninja Van Thailand has also hired 20% more part-time staff in anticipation of the growing number of parcel deliveries during the holiday season. This year’s online shopping campaign is expected to see over 1m pieces of parcels arriving at the company’s warehouse as compared to last year’s figure which was slightly above 900,000 pieces.
The company is organizing a “Happy End of the Year Giving” campaign, which will offer deals and promotions for both its customers and shoppers. It stated that for the month of December 2021, SME customers will be able to ship parcels weighing less than 3 kilos.
