Last-mile delivery segment expands with e-commerce demand

The company’s last-mile delivery business also recorded strong growth, with revenue increasing 42.4% to RMB9.43 billion. This was driven by rising demand for e-commerce logistics services, including parcel delivery and returns handling.

Technology and AI drive efficiency gains

Technology continued to play a central role in SF Intra-city’s growth strategy. The company advanced its digital logistics platform, leveraging AI-driven dispatch systems, intelligent order allocation, and automated operational processes to enhance efficiency.

Its City Logistics System enables end-to-end coordination across fulfilment operations, while AI applications have improved order conversion, customer service response times, and compliance processes.

The company has also expanded its unmanned delivery capabilities, with more than 1,000 autonomous vehicles deployed across 116 cities, supporting last-mile and intra-city logistics scenarios.

SF Intra-city deepened its collaboration with its parent ecosystem, including integration with broader supply chain services such as warehousing and transportation.

Looking ahead, SF Intra-city said it will continue to focus on scaling its network, expanding service scenarios, and investing in technology to support sustainable growth.

With increasing demand for on-demand delivery services driven by evolving consumption patterns, the company is positioning itself to capture opportunities across food delivery, local retail, and intra-city logistics, while further strengthening its leadership in China’s third-party instant delivery market.
