SingPost is building a global omni-channel Commerce and fulfilment platform with the integration of TradeGlobal and Jagged Peak

Singapore, 18 January, 2015 - Singapore Post Limited (SingPost) is integrating its eCommerce division, SingPost eCommerce, with leading US-based eCommerce providers TradeGlobal Holdings, Inc. ('TradeGlobal') which SingPost recently acquired and Jagged Peak, Inc. ('Jagged Peak'), to launch SP Commerce. The integration of TradeGlobal and Jagged Peak helps SingPost expand its eCommerce logistics footprint in the US, the largest retail market in the world, connecting the dots in building a global Commerce logistics solution and a unique ability to provide access to China and the rest of Asia Pacific markets.

SP Commerce, a pioneer in omni-channel enablement for global brands and retailers, will facilitate commerce between geographies, providing the necessary infrastructure for customers to gain easy access to eCommerce markets around the world. The solutions that SP Commerce offer include end-to-end services spanning webstore development and operations, global fulfilment, omni-channel order management, cross-border commerce, performance marketing, and customer care services. SingPost now provides end-to-end eCommerce logistics solutions to more than 100 mono-brands such as Adidas, Calvin Klein, Cole Haan and Muji.

A Forrester study[1] commissioned by Accenture and Hybris Software, a SAP company, observed that driven by consumer online buying experiences, business suppliers are racing to meet buyer demands. The study also noted that 83 per cent of B2B sellers are either in the process of upgrading or implementing their eCommerce offerings or planning to do so within six months. The demand for omni-channel commerce is gaining momentum and it would require integrated technology, fulfilment capabilities on an international scale as well as a strong localisation for brands and retailers to succeed in this arena.

SP Commerce has scalable logistics infrastructure to serve global customers across all key eCommerce markets. With over 8,500 employees and 1,000 eCommerce clients globally, SingPost operates more than 50 distribution centers across at least 18 countries - including major eCommerce markets in the US, Europe, China and the rest of Asia Pacific.

In 2015, SingPost saw a 384 per cent[2] spike in domestic eCommerce orders year-on-year in South East Asia and Australia during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping period. It also shipped 4.6 million packages through its unified infrastructure for cross border eCommerce volumes which represents a 60 per cent increase year-on-year for the November period. SingPost processed US$3 billion in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) through its infrastructure, and eCommerce related revenue is now 29 per cent of SingPost Group's revenue as eCommerce activity remains robust.

'The launch of SP Commerce marks a significant milestone in SingPost's transformation from a domestic postal service provider to a global Commerce logistics enabler. We are well positioned to provide the gateway for brands and retailers with sights set on international markets to grow their businesses leveraging our existing capabilities as well as newly acquired infrastructure and knowledge,' says Mr. Marcelo Wesseler, Chief Executive Officer, SingPost eCommerce.

'Other than bringing businesses abroad, we are also focused on facilitating commerce in the domestic US market as we believe that a strong business foundation in the home market makes a solid springboard for global expansion,' he added.
