News, in October 2018, SF Express launched the first "bonded + community new retail" project "Fengsu Go" in three SF Express stores in Shenzhen. This is a blockchain solution provided by the SF International team for the cross-border e-commerce industry.

The "Fengsu GO" model actually moves overseas goods from bonded warehouses from remote bonded warehouses to public community stores for sale, which belongs to the category of new retail.

With the spread of the concept of blockchain, the open, transparent and non-tamperable technical characteristics of blockchain have begun to attract attention. People want to use blockchain technology to realize product traceability, so as to ensure the authenticity and safety of products. Currently, including Jingdong,Ant FinancialEnterprises including China and Taiwan have entered the blockchain traceability industry one after another.

SF's "Feng Trace" also focuses on the concept of blockchain traceability. Based on SF's existing cross-border supply chain for overseas commodities, Fengsu has built a whole-process traceability system to monitor the entire process of commodity production, packaging, logistics, warehousing, customs declaration, inspection, sales, etc., and register information at each stage chain. In offline stores, consumers can scan the traceability QR code on the product to obtain product introduction information in Chinese, brand company information, third-party quality inspection report, product entry declaration information and whole-process logistics information, etc.

However, the traceability of the blockchain has been questioned, that is, how to ensure the authenticity of the "on-chain" information? Data entry is done manually and can easily be modified. If the authenticity of the "on-chain" information cannot be resolved, the so-called traceability is like empty talk.

However, the traceability of the blockchain has been questioned, that is, how to ensure the authenticity of the "on-chain" information? Data entry is done manually and can easily be modified. If the authenticity of the "on-chain" information cannot be resolved, the so-called traceability is like empty talk.

In addition, SF Express is a cross-border e-commerce company, which itself has lagged behind other existing e-commerce brands; moreover, it focuses on the concept of traceability, and will even check the quality of its products. Compared with the traceability done by start-up companies, the endorsement of large enterprises is more effective.

However, there is still a problem here: that is, if a certain product is produced abroad, how to ensure that the initial production process is qualified?

From the current point of view, it seems that SF's "Fengsu" project can only guarantee the authenticity of logistics-warehousing-customs declaration-inspection declaration-sales and other links. For the production process, we can only choose to trust the reliability of the original manufacturer. After all, there are tens of millions of products, and it is not realistic to go back to the original production link for each.

Save customs clearance process

The second benefit of the "Fengsu" project is to optimize the process of customs clearance and delivery of cross-border goods.

At present, most domestic consumers purchase cross-border goods through e-commerce channels. Even in the cross-border product area of ​​domestic offline supermarkets, not all goods can be picked up directly. Supermarkets are generally divided into a display area and a duty-paid area. Products in the duty-paid area can be purchased and taken away directly, while products in the display area need to be purchased from online channels, and then picked up or delivered to home. For example, the cross-border experience store of Tmall International needs to ship from the bonded area after consumers place an order to buy.

In contrast, the "Fengsu" project is more convenient. Because it can provide the support of traceability technology, the customs can supervise and inspect the bonded goods outside the bonded area. Therefore, overseas goods (bonded status) under the "Fengsu" mode can be displayed and sold in offline community stores after being approved by the customs.

First of all, SF Express Stores will place an order through the system for customs filing and declaration in Shenzhen Qianhai Bay Free Trade Zone, and then pick up and deliver the goods in the bonded zone warehouse to the SF Express community store through SF Express.

according toSF’s blockchain ambitionsThe "Fengsu" project filed this time is not SF's first attempt in the blockchain field.

according toSohu.comNews, in February 2018, SF Express entered the field of pharmaceutical logistics and released the "SF Express Pharmaceutical Supply Chain". In addition to deploying a medical logistics visualization platform, SF Express has also developed and implemented special services such as blockchain medical traceability and drone medical transportation in the medical logistics field.

The depth of SF Express's layout in the blockchain area shows that it attaches great importance to the blockchain field. However, to what extent it can develop the blockchain is currently unknown, and we still hold out hope.
