JDDJ becomes the first O2O platform that established a partnership with Ito Yokado in China. Moreover, Ito Yokado stores have adopted the Dada Haibo System developed by Dada Group to optimize its home delivery business.

To date, all 8 Ito Yokado stores in Chengdu and Leshan have been integrated on JDDJ. Ito Yokado’s well-received featured products, such as homemade cooked bento boxes, snacks and noodles, and Japanese imported products, are now available online. Ito Yokado’s online orders on JDDJ have grown quickly since its launch, showing that users are embracing on-demand consumption.

Dada’s on-demand delivery platform, Dada Now, provides Ito Yokado stores with on-demand delivery service in one hour within a 3 kilometer radius of the stores. To make sure customers can enjoy the same high-quality service no matter online or offline, Dada Now’s riders will take the “Ito Yokado Hospitality Service” training program, and wear Ito Yokado’s customized uniform.

As of the first quarter this year, JDDJ has partnered with 75 of the top 100 supermarket chains in China. Over 110,000 retail stores of all categories have operated on the platform, covering more than 1,500 counties and cities across China. JDDJ has become a new growth driver for O2O operations, promoting the digitalization of offline retail, and facilitating the development of the real economy.
