As a leader in omnichannel retail, 7FRESH also provides a location-based online channel through its app for consumers to buy from the community shop anytime and have items delivered to their doorstep as fast as in 30 minutes from the time of order. The home delivery service now covers a 1.5 km radius including 38 surrounding communities and three office areas, reaching 50,000 families and 1,000 office professionals in total. 7FRESH LIFE employs JD.com’s massive online offerings. In addition to the items offered in-store, a large number of products from JD.com’s e-commerce platform can be ordered through 7FRESH LIFE’s online channel, such as seasonal, large-size, beauty and baby and maternal products. It also provides comprehensive convenient value-added services such as power bank rental, 24-hour parcel pick-up lockers, bill payment, top up, courier and dry cleaning service, among others.
“With JD’s deep understanding of consumers and our strong supply chain providing global and local fresh produce and mealtime solutions, 7FRESH has become a trusted source for consumers buying fresh food offline,” said Jonathan Wang, Head of 7FRESH, JD.com. “7FRESH LIFE will better serve the diverse and unique needs of Chinese families, providing for each person at any time for any need, online or offline.”
