Lazada Seller Community Gives Back In Vietnam
Lazada’s Hanoi seller community organized its first charity initiative in Vietnam last month to raise funds for underprivileged students in the country’s northwestern region. As part of the initiative, representatives from the seller community visited and delivered more than 260 packages to needy children and low-income families in the mountainous villages of Bát Xát district in Lao Cai province. The packages included schoolbags, warm clothes and other winter necessities to support low-income families and promote education among young children.
Lazada Co-Hosts Indonesia Digital Economy Conference
Lazada Indonesia last month partnered with media group Kompas to hold the inaugural Indonesia Digital Economy Conference (IDEC). Launched at the heels of the G20 and B20 summits that were held in Indonesia, IDEC is one of Lazada’s latest efforts to discuss and collaborate with strategic stakeholders to overcome challenges and accelerate Indonesia’s digital economic transformation. The conference was attended by government representatives, digital industry experts as well as Lazada brands and sellers. Lazada Group Chief Business Officer James Chang emphasized the platform’s commitment to building Indonesia’s digital economy by empowering local micro, small and medium enterprises and also supporting the country’s talent and wider community. Through a series of presentations and panel discussions, the conference explored the role and future of eCommerce in developing Indonesia’s digital economy.
Lazada Logistics Launches New Service in Vietnam
Lazada Logistics Vietnam last month launched its third-party volume (3PV) delivery service, a comprehensive solution for businesses with an omnichannel presence. The new service offers end-to-end logistics solutions for brands and sellers across all sales channels, encompassing everything from storage, processing and packaging to last-mile delivery.
Businesses that tap into this 3PV service have access to one of the region’s largest shipping fleets. The fleet includes cross-border shipping capabilities thanks to Lazada Logistics’ partnership with Cainiao, Alibaba Group’s logistics arm. Businesses will also be able to leverage Lazada Logistics’ advanced systems, which apply AI to optimize delivery routes, enable real-time tracking and reduce operating costs. The launch is part of Lazada Vietnam’s ongoing commitment to investing in logistics infrastructure to build up a sustainable and robust digital economy.
