INNOVATIVE
DISRUPTOR?

BRICK & MORTAR GOES DIGITAL
LING SHOU TONG
LAUNCHED IN 2014
Ling Shou Tong aims to
help China’s 6 million
small, independent
stores improve sales and
inventory management.
OVER 600,000 or 10%
of small, independent
stores in China now
operate on the Ling
Shou Tong network.
40% INCREASE
in Single Day sales
(similar to Black
Friday in the USA) in
2017 versus 2016.
22% OF STORES
are expected to
operate on the
network by the end
of 2018.
Ling Shou Tong (roughly translates to “retail integrated”) is Alibaba’s new retail
inventory management platform and it’s disrupting convenience stores and post
and parcel delivery in China.

KNOWING BEATS GUESSING
Previously, convenience store owners based
inventory decisions on intuition. Staying
relevant has been a serious challenge.
Now, store owners can use data-driven
insights on the Ling Shou Tong platform to
stock inventory proactively. Consumers can
shop in-store or online and have items
delivered directly to them, quickly.
ONLINE AND OFFLINE DATA
Copyright © 2018 Accenture. All rights reserved. 4
The Ling Shou Tong platform is free for
stores to use. In exchange, Alibaba
receives consumer data via the cloud to
improve its online and brick and mortar
capabilities.
The network also enables Alibaba to
serve customers it doesn’t currently
reach through its online platform.
RENOVATING THE SUPPLY CHAIN

Centralized storage and logistics
Ling Shou Tong is digitizing the traditional supply chain of small, local businesses into a
more efficient, data-driven network through its centralized, cloud-based platform.

Our research shows that there are three capabilities that Ling Shou
Tong enables that will be critical in driving eCommerce growth.

Consumers increasingly expect fast and free delivery.
There are over 600,000 stores operating with Ling Shou
Tong that could become micro-distribution centers. This
crowdsourced delivery network can ship packages to a
customer’s door quickly and cheaply, solving the last
mile challenge. It also enables Alibaba to store
inventory closer to the consumer.
Our research shows retailers are aggressively finding
ways to forward stage inventory which changes last
mile. Post and parcel organizations will be asked to
provide local, faster deliveries in these new networks.
LOCAL OMNICHANNEL RETAIL
Copyright © 2018 Accenture. All rights reserved. 81. Alibaba to open 30 new Hema stores in Beijing by year-end
Ling Shou Tong-enabled stores could evolve to enable an online to
offline capability in small towns and villages. These stores could
adopt Hema store-like capabilities to deliver insights-driven,
omnichannel retail beyond the big cities.
With nearly 1.5 million residents within three kilometres of a Hema
store in Beijing, imagine how many more consumers could take
advantage of omnichannel ecommerce from small, local stores.1
LOW COST RETURNS MANAGEMENT
Copyright © 2018 Accenture. All rights reserved. 9
E-commerce returns cost retailers millions of dollars.
Ling Shou Tong stores can become return hubs as
well as delivery hubs.
Customers can easily return items to a local store,
where Alibaba can track, manage and optimize the
items’ next destination at a much lower cost.
This creates a great opportunity for post and parcel
organizations to become the first mile of a returns
network, connecting local Ling Shou Tong stores with
centralized returns management centers.
ALIBABAORAMAZON:WHOWILLWIN?
Join an ecosystem or obtain full ownership
The different approaches these two major retailers are taking will influence
shipping cross-industry.

Consumers can shop in-store or online and have items delivered directly to them, quickly.

There are over 600,000 stores operating with Ling Shou Tong that could become micro-distribution centers. This crowdsourced delivery network can ship packages to a customer’s door quickly and cheaply, solving the last mile challenge. It also enables Alibaba to store inventory closer to the consumer.

Alibaba to open 30 new Hema stores in Beijing by year-end Ling Shou Tong-enabled stores could evolve to enable an online to offline capability in small towns and villages. These stores could adopt Hema store-like capabilities to deliver insights-driven, omnichannel retail beyond the big cities. With nearly 1.5 million residents within three kilometres of a Hema store in Beijing, imagine how many more consumers could take advantage of omnichannel ecommerce from small, local stores.1
  • 9. LOW COST RETURNS MANAGEMENT Copyright © 2018 Accenture. All rights reserved. 9 E-commerce returns cost retailers millions of dollars. Ling Shou Tong stores can become return hubs as well as delivery hubs. Customers can easily return items to a local store, where Alibaba can track, manage and optimize the items’ next destination at a much lower cost. This creates a great opportunity for post and parcel organizations to become the first mile of a returns network, connecting local Ling Shou Tong stores with centralized returns management centers.
