Integrated e-commerce logistics service provider and integrated service delivery platform, Flash Express, has provided 17,000 jobs in two years of its operations.
The company opened doors for Filipino entrepreneurs, bridging the gap between e-commerce platforms and customers, and bringing up discussions on the industry’s issues to different government agencies.
The company said, in a statement, that its main services in the e-commerce logistics business category including 365 Days of Delivery, 95 percent nationwide coverage, low cash-on-delivery, easy payment solutions, and an advanced logistics system have become imperative to the industry since Flash Express started last August 2021.
The company, as of August 2023, has over 17,000 employees in its operations and for corporate support.
Most of the employees are riders, couriers and warehouse staff, or over 12,500, throughout the country.
The company at the end of the year is expected to increase its employees to 20,000.
Taking the best logistics practices in Thailand where Flash Express originated, the overall logistics system of Flash Express is supported by its advanced tools and facilities that speed up the customer experience.
Flash Express has also incorporated various innovations in its Flash Express app and website, which include its smooth interface to its back-end support such as the Fast Hand — a compact piece of equipment that captures the parcel’s image and records the precise dimension and weight of smaller parcels; dimensioning, weighing and scanning machine — an automated mass and dimensions measuring machine to improve efficiency and accuracy of object size during the packaging process; and iData — a handheld device for transportation and logistics operations that are integrated into the company’s main system, among others.
Peng Wansong, General Manager of Flash Express, said that the development of the e-commerce logistics industry has brought great changes and opportunities to the Philippines.
“As a member of the industry, Flash Express has continuously developed breakthrough innovations in logistics operations since we entered the Philippine Market last 2021. By then, we have fully considered the demands of the market and studied its best practices. We have quickly adapted services to different regional market cultures. For our second-year anniversary, the company intends to continue to work with employees, customers, business partners, and the entire e-commerce logistics business in the future to provide sustainable opportunities locally and further enhance the Flash Express ecosystem through business-driven innovation,” Wansong said.
