KUCHING: Logistics company Ninja Van has been appointed as TikTok Shop’s logistics partner in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
The company said online purchases checked out on TikTok Shop in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines will now be picked up from sellers, sorted in hubs, and delivered to shoppers by Ninja Van.
Ninja Van Group chief partnerships officer Alvin Teo said Rocket Internet’s 2011 entry to Southeast Asia (SEA) sets the e-commerce wave in motion and accelerated the company’s growth since its establishment in 2014
“Being there right from the start allows us a front-row seat to the e-commerce evolution in SEA.
“We’ve seen how SMEs adapted to the meandering flow of e-commerce, including the navigation of a pandemic, and we’ve always been by their side to take the hassle out of their parcels.”
Ninja Van said the both the company and TikTok Shop share the mission of helping local SMEs succeed in SEA.
“With TikTok Shop enabling brands and sellers to sell seamlessly within the TikTok platform and Ninja Van delivering shoppers’ purchases from pixels on screens to parcels on doorsteps, SMEs can now focus on perfecting their products for their customers,” it said.
