Meituan last year expanded its core business to short-distance delivery, also known as intra-city delivery, with aims to make a better use of idle fleet during none-peak hours. However, the Chinese logistics giant SF Express is now following suit facing today’s downward economic scenario but in an opposite way – its newly launched platform is now available via WeChat mini-app, targeting food delivery service for enterprises but also allowing for individual order placement. SF is believed to be as competitive in this sector as its peers Meituan and Alibaba considering its massive delivery network.
