The 28,000 m2 center is expected to facilitate goods circulation as well as international mail and postal shipment exchange for 21 northern provinces and cities.

This is an important infrastructure in providing logistics and e-commerce services in the Northern region and Hanoi, meeting the needs of Vietnam Post, the Vietnamese postal service provider, and the diverse requirements of customers in the context of the growing e-commerce scene.

“The operation of the center will help us modernize the infrastructure of production organization in the direction of automation throughout the network,” he emphasized.

He added that the management system helps technicians operate remotely and obtain the operation information of output, the efficiency of sorting as well as choose different operating plans that are suitable for reality.

In March, Vietnam Post launched the Hanoi e-commerce delivery center, which operates six large hubs specializing in e-commerce goods throughout the city. This year, it set a target of handling nearly 48.2 million tons of e-commerce goods.
