NextSmartShip Forms eCommerce Deal With LyncMed

The eCommerce fulfillment service provider NextSmartShip announced Thursday (Jan. 13) it had formed a partnership with LyncMed, an eCommerce medical instrument platform.

Based in Shenzhen, China, NextSmartShip says the partnership will allow LyncMed expand with the help of NextSmartShip’s logistics and fulfillment expertise and its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform Fulfillship.

The company says this platform includes smart functions such as route recommendation, fee estimation, tracking updates and smart inventory distribution.

Its overall services include 97% global coverage with more than 70 international carriers, open API kits that allow for integration into B2B platforms and decided servers for “fast, stable and secure data transmission.”

The company notes the massive growth in global eCommerce throughout the pandemic, with giants like Amazon and newer players like Shopify and WooCommerce enjoying higher growth trajectories, thanks in part to fulfillment companies such as NextSmartShip.

LyncMed, meanwhile, hopes to use the partnership to meet more global requirements, the company said.

“Relying on our advantages in the global fulfillment industry, our innovative solution can help LyncMed build a robust platform that truly empowers global businesses in the medical device industry,” William Yu, NextSmartShip CEO and founder, said in the announcement.

As PYMNTS noted last week, consumers are making record amounts of international purchases, thanks to the one-click simplicity that lets them order something from the other side of the planet and have it delivered to their front door.

Amid the pandemic, which has made digital shopping substantially more popular, the stage is set for growth and the development of new buying patterns.

“The pandemic pushed consumers to try new ways of shopping, rely on eCommerce to purchase items, and so on,” said Chuck Huang, founder and CEO of Citcon.

As a result, many consumers became more comfortable shopping online and outside their country. Other factors driving consumers to shop cross-border include access to better prices, specific cross-border brands or goods at a level of quality not available in their country.
