SPL, JINGDONG join to digitise supply chain

Saudi Postal and Logistics (SPL) and JINGDONG Industrials (JDi), a subsidiary of JD.com, have joined to develop a business-to-business (B2B) digital procurement platform to enhance the industrial sourcing and supply chain efficiency across Saudi Arabia. The platform will combine SPL’s local market reach and logistics capabilities with JDi’s international supplier network and portfolios of maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) and bill of materials (BOM) products.

The collaboration aims to address gaps across upstream and downstream industrial supply chains by providing factories and enterprises with streamlined digital procurement, transparent sourcing and localised inventory availability. By integrating supplier networks with local logistics infrastructure, the platform is expected to improve access to industrial materials, support procurement efficiency and strengthen supply chain resilience. The initiative also supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions by developing industrial self-reliance and strengthening the infrastructure needed to support advanced manufacturing across the Kingdom.
