Against the backdrop of deepening globalized trade, Omida has recently successfully shipped the first batch of self-developed household tools (small skid steer) to its overseas warehouse in Houston, U.S.A. This not only reduces the cost of international transportation, but also shortens the delivery time for U.S. consumers from the traditional 30-45 days of shipping to 3-5 working days through the strategy of front-loading the inventory.
In the face of international freight fluctuations, customs clearance inefficiency and other problems that have long plagued cross-border sellers, Omida's team has joined hands with U.S. local logistics service providers to build a three-stage supply chain system of “China production - U.S. overseas warehouse - local distribution”. By transporting goods in bulk to the western and eastern parts of the United States and the two core hub warehouses in advance, the enterprise has realized a 70% increase in order response speed and a 40% reduction in the risk of warehouse blowout during the peak season. The overseas warehouse model allows us to respond more flexibly to changes in market demand, while the cost of a single item can be effectively controlled through scale transportation.
Consumer feedback shows that the fast delivery experience significantly increases the willingness to repurchase.
The U.S. partner commented, “This model allows us to more accurately predict inventory demand and avoid out-of-stock or backlog problems common in traditional cross-border trade.”
This successful practice provides replicable cross-border logistics solutions for Chinese SMEs, which helps accelerate the integration of Chinese manufacturing into the global supply chain system while enhancing international competitiveness. With the in-depth implementation of RCEP and other agreements, the overseas warehouse model is expected to become a new engine to promote the high-quality development of China's foreign trade.
