In the field of supply chain management, a profound transformation from traditional models to digitalization, greening, and collaboration is accelerating. Recently, the CHINA TELECOM Tianyi Supply Chain Ecosystem Development Forum was held in Peking with the theme of "Cooperation for Win-Win, Wings of Business Together." At the conference, JD.com's government enterprise business was awarded the title of "Strategic Supplier of CHINA TELECOM Group" due to its leading capabilities and innovative practices in supply chain management.

At the scene, a relevant person from JD.com's government enterprise business stated that in the future, it will continue to leverage the growth efficiency of JD.com as a new type of entity enterprise, collaborating with CHINA TELECOM on product co-construction, business integration, and model co-creation, to assist in implementing the "Cloud Transformation and Digital Reform" Global Strategy, enhancing high-quality product and service supply, and building a trustworthy and resilient supply chain ecosystem to aid the digital transformation of the Industry.

Telecom operators have long played a crucial role in the national economy and people's livelihoods, serving as builders of infrastructure, promoters of economic growth, enablers of industrial upgrading, and leaders of technological innovation, as well as managers of data resources. In recent years, facing a rapidly changing market environment, the Industry has proactively sought change and innovation, leveraging cutting-edge AI and other digital technologies and best industry practices to significantly promote cost reduction and efficiency improvement, as well as green and sustainable development. Constructing a resilient, secure, value-creating, digital empowerment, green ecology, and compliant modern supply chain management system has become one of the key focuses of the Industry.

As a technology and service enterprise based on supply chains, JD.com comprehensively connects and optimizes various stages of social production, Consumer, and service through digitalization technology, forging a new generation of infrastructure—digital social supply chain, and establishing an efficient and widely covered supply chain network. While ensuring the stability and reliability of its own supply chain, JD.com, through its government enterprise business, actively demonstrates the value of the industry Internet platform, opening its digital supply chain technology capabilities and solid infrastructure to government and corporate clients in more industry fields, driving the digital transformation and cost reduction of upstream and downstream partners in the Industry Chain and creating best practices of "digital and physical integration" in the supply chain.

For example, based on precise procurement services and intelligent inventory management, JD.com's government enterprise business can effectively assist operators in achieving cost optimization, while also engaging in deep technical cooperation in emerging areas such as Cloud Computing, Big Data, and AI, which can accelerate the landing and conversion of emerging technologies in operator businesses; in addition, by leveraging JD.com's over 8 million quality government and corporate client resources, collaboration can be fostered with operators to build a business ecosystem and mutually promote the expansion of emerging businesses.

Specifically, to accelerate the construction of a trustworthy and resilient supply chain in the Industry, enhancing the resilience and safety levels of the Industry Chain and supply chain requires strengthening capability supply and system construction from three dimensions: Commodity supply chain, service supply chain, and fulfillment supply chain.

In the Commodity supply chain, JD.com will focus on digitalized procurement as an entry point, aligning with the practical business needs of the telecommunications industry, planning and constructing a standardized system for commodities, forming a standardized commodity library through governance of commodity data, and utilizing Big Data analysis and knowledge graph technologies to achieve intelligent applications such as clear mapping of commodities and categories and precise detection of one commodity multiple merchants.

In the service supply chain, JD.com will strengthen coupling and links with the external Industry Chain and upstream and downstream of the telecommunications industry, creating a service ecosystem that integrates customized workwear, customized gifts, and customized marketing, establishing service standards, and promoting the shift of the procurement supply chain from "Commodity" to "Commodity + Service," forming deep service capabilities around the entire lifecycle of commodities and the full scenario of enterprise operations.

In terms of fulfilling obligations in the supply chain, JD.com will rely on a highly coordinated "six networks" including warehousing network, comprehensive transportation network, last-mile distribution network, large goods network, cold chain logistics network, and cross-border logistics network to ensure efficient nationwide fulfillment, helping the communication industry build a more resilient integrated supply chain system.

In addition, in terms of green low-carbon development, JD.com is committed to serving a higher quality and greener economic development with a smarter and greener supply chain. In addition to successfully reducing the inventory turnover days to 29 days based on over 10 million self-operated product SKUs, setting a benchmark for reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the supply chain, JD.com also focuses on green warehousing, transportation, packaging, technology, and other aspects throughout the entire supply chain, promoting the establishment of multiple industry innovations and standards. At the same time, JD.com’s government and enterprise business continues to provide technical services covering fixed asset management, trade-in, paperless office, electronic invoicing, and other scenarios for government and enterprise clients, promoting carbon reduction across various industries and enhancing the level of greening.

Looking to the future, whether it is a smarter supply chain or a greener supply chain, JD.com will continue to strive to create a good and affordable consumer experience for users and bring long-lasting value through cost reduction, increased efficiency, and compliance to the industry.
