IM.07Execution · Distribution and fulfillmenttemplates.internationalPage.mode.execution

From disembarkation to the consumer's home.

Coordination of international last mile — warehousing at destination, picking, dispatch, and distribution — with a structure operated by approved partners under a plan defined by JD Trade.

Objective

What this work is for.

Get the merchandise to the point of sale or to the final consumer in the foreign market, whether the client is a distributor, a retailer, or a marketplace buyer. Execution uses approved local warehouses and operators — JD does not operate its own warehouse abroad.

Company profile

Who this module fits.

01

Brands with orders already won

Companies that have closed deals with a distributor or marketplace and need to deliver within the promised deadline.

02

Brands with continuous sales forecast

Recurring volumes that justify inventory at destination instead of unitary shipments.

03

International e-commerce

Brands with direct-to-consumer sales abroad, requiring local fulfillment due to delivery time and freight cost.

Deliverables

What the company receives.

Each deliverable is an objective artifact. None is a disguised sales pitch.

  • 01

    Distribution plan at destination

    Choice between local warehouse, platform fulfillment, or unitary shipment from Brazil, with cost and time per option.

  • 02

    Approval of local operators

    Selection of the 3PL or logistics operator in the country, with contract, SLA, and system integration where applicable.

  • 03

    Replenishment flow

    Inventory level, replenishment cycle from Brazil, and safety policy for shortages and peaks.

  • 04

    Reverse logistics and after-sales

    Definition of return, rework, and destruction/disposal policy at destination.

Stages

How the work progresses.

  1. 01Stage

    Flow diagnosis

    Volume, turnover, seasonality, and product characteristics at destination.

  2. 02Stage

    Network design

    One warehouse, multiple warehouses, native platform fulfillment, or unitary shipment — decision based on cost and time.

  3. 03Stage

    Approval and contracts

    Selection of the local operator, negotiation, and formalization with clear SLA.

  4. 04Stage

    Integration

    Communication of inventory and orders between the client's ERP, marketplace/channel, and local operator.

  5. 05Stage

    Ongoing operation

    Replenishment, service level monitoring, reverse logistics, and periodic operational meetings.

Dependencies

What we need from the client.

Internationalization work doesn't move forward without a few clear prerequisites. We prefer to point them out upfront.

  • Requirement 01

    Minimum expected volume

    Inventory at destination only makes sense with a turnover that covers the fixed cost of the warehouse. Below that, unitary shipping is usually better.

  • Requirement 02

    Product sheet for the destination

    Compliant labeling, locally recognized barcodes, and translated technical sheet.

  • Requirement 03

    Channel definition

    The network changes if the order is B2B for a distributor, direct retail, or final consumer.

Expected result

What's reasonable to expect.

A predictable flow between origin and consumer abroad, with defined SLA and documented responsibilities. Deadlines and costs may vary by country, category, and seasonality — we do not work with absolute guarantee of deadlines.

We don't work with sales guarantees, absolute deadlines or minimum volumes. Any commercial proposal that does should be treated with caution.

Next step

Shall we talk about international distribution and fulfillment?

An initial screening call clarifies whether this module makes sense now, whether it fits in parts, or whether another piece of work should come first.
