Tech-enabled logistics firm Ninja Van Philippines has announced the promotion of its chief operating officer (COO) Vin Perez as the company’s new country head.
The company said the 3,700-square-meter warehouse, which can be expanded through a racking system, boasts a 2,400-pallet storage capacity and is able to process around 15,000 orders a day.
The company said the study was conducted across six countries - Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam – with over 9,000 participants to shed light on this group of avid e-shoppers, affectionately dubbed “e-shopaholics” by Ninja Van Philippines.
While Shopee (27.0%), Facebook (25.5%), and TikTok (22.5%) are ranked as the top three live selling channels, the close margins signal that the champion has yet to emerge in SE Asia.
Through the partnership, online purchases checked out on TikTok Shop in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia will now be picked up from sellers, sorted in hubs, and delivered to shoppers by Ninja Van.
The ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the ongoing oil price hikes, has affected the supply chain and operations of logistics company Ninja Van, according to its chief commercial officer Sabina Lopez-Vergara.
Executives from the country’s job search and networking platforms, human resources industry, and government agreed that hybrid work is the preferred model among employees as this allows them to divide their time between office-based work and work from home.
According to a 2021 report by consultancy firm AlphaBeta, the Philippine digital economy can generate P5 trillion by 2030. This thriving digital economy, however, will only emerge if businesses leverage digital transformation.
