    How a local logistics-retailer partnership boosted sales volumes from the Asian markets

    The lucrative Asian e-commerce market is growing fast, with sales in the Asia-Pacific region having increased by 31 per cent in 2017 to $1.349 trillion – 83 per cent of which came from China. A leading e-commerce logistics provider is helping one of Australia’s largest online retailers expand its presence into these markets.

    Quantium Solutions is one of Australia’s major end-to-end logistics providers – delivery, mailing, warehousing and fulfilment. Owned by Singapore Post, Quantium Solutions operates in 19 markets and is a key logistics market leader in the Asia-Pacific. It enables major e-commerce companies – including some of Australia’s largest fashion and beauty brands – to move their products around the world.

    Quantium Solutions’ warehousing volume is steadily increasing, growing 21 per cent last year, on the back of stronger demand from local companies looking to take advantage of the e-commerce growth in Asia. Its services that connect the Asia-Pacific e-commerce markets grew to 35 per cent of its revenue in 2017.

    One such local e-commerce company is MySale Group, which owns 24 websites across 8 countries including OzSale, TopBuy, DealsDirect and oo.com.au. Through its international services, Quantium Solutions has helped MySale Group grow its revenue in Asia, by providing a seamless shipping solution into the Philippines market, and helping it expand further into Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong.

    As the exclusive logistics partner of Mysale Group in Asia, Quantium Solutions helps distribute, process and return all of MySale Group’s merchandise from around the world to and from customers in Asia.

    Quantium Solutions is also the e-commerce logistics provider of choice for Clarins Australia, a leading international premium skincare brand. Quantium Solutions is the heart of Clarins’ e-commerce solution in Australia, offering state-of-the-art warehousing, order packing and domestic distribution. Over the last two years, Quantium Solutions has demonstrated its agility and ability to scale by supporting Clarins Australia’s rapid e-commerce growth.

    Per Gustafsson, Australia and New Zealand General Manager at Quantium Solutions, says: “Quantium Solutions is ideally positioned as the gateway to Asia for Australian e-commerce businesses wanting to reach the world’s largest e-commerce market. With fulfilment centres around the world, including in competitive and lucrative markets like Singapore and Malaysia, Quantium Solutions helps Australian e-commerce businesses expand in Asia. With our well-established delivery eco-system and full suite of customised fulfilment and delivery solutions, we are the leading end-to-end delivery provider in the Asia-Pacific region.”

  • Crown celebrates 40 years of its operational anniversary

    Crown celebrates 40 years of its operational anniversary

    Crown Equipment Corporation, one of the world’s largest material handling companies, is celebrating 40 years as a leading provider in the Asian market. With the region rapidly rising to become a manufacturing and logistics powerhouse, Crown is helping its customers manage market demands and meet industry challenges through its flexible product range and innovative, customised solutions.

    Pallet management is one of the major issues for emerging distribution companies and small to medium-sized enterprises lacking the knowledge to deal with the challenge. Within Asia, the two most popular pallet sizes are the square 1,100mm x 1,100mm pallet and the 1,200mm x 1,000mm pallet. The U.S., Europe, and Australia, however, use different International Organization for Standardization (ISO) approved pallet sizes, and these diverse pallet types can create challenging problems if not handled correctly.

    Crown’s global approach to research, design, engineering and manufacturing means that it produces a range of lift trucks that offer the best fit to the pallets relevant to the warehouse facilities in multiple regions globally. While the company builds a range of lift trucks to cover all aspects of material handling work, from the dock to the top space of a high bay rack, Crown also customises its standard designs to help solve specific problems, such as modifying the width and position of the legs so that it would work effectively according to the required pallet size.

    With a focus on providing end-to-end material handling solutions, Crown can also identify other areas of the warehouse that can add efficiency when dealing with a range of pallet sizes. Crown consultation includes a detailed review of customers’ operations to help decide the most appropriate material handling equipment and provide inputs to improve productivity, such as enhancing warehouse design and safety culture.

    “When you work with Crown, you are working with people in possession of great product knowledge and a thorough understanding of warehouse supply chain requirements. Knowledge is a major factor that separates Crown from the competition in the Asia Pacific region and the ability to provide customers with an end to end total material handling solution partnership,” said Steven Hill, the Managing Director of Crown Equipment for Southeast Asia.

    Crown set up operations in Southeast Asia in 1978 with the Southeast Asia regional headquarters now located in Singapore. The Asia Pacific region is serviced through an extensive retail branch network, which includes locations across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and China.

    Crown has recently launched in a number of new locations with branches in the growth hubs of Johor, Malaysia; Rayong, Thailand; Clark, the Philippines; Incheon, South Korea; and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
