3 things SingPost must do to remain relevant

One is to leverage on better connectivity and efficiency of Singapore’s airport.

SingPost is targetting to offer a more extensive hybrid solution to its clients that will enable selection between postal or commercial services across different markets.

“To remain relevant despite not being a low cost provider, SingPost targets to: 1) offer higher quality services in terms of delivery speed and accuracy; 2) leverage on better connectivity and efficiency of Singapore’s airport; and 3) target mono brands and market places that have operations in Singapore for its new e-commerce logistics hub," noted Maybank Kim Eng.

SingPost is also planning for more collaboration with Alibaba after a recent capital injection. According to Maybank Kim Eng, SingPost remains Alibaba’s second preferred partner, after China Post, which takes up around 80% of total overseas volume.

Meanwhile SingPost's loss-making US e-commerce business, Trade Global, is going through restructuring under its new CEO, Paul Demirdjian.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
