Take a peek inside Singpost's new logistics hub

It can sort up 100,000 parcels a day.

Singapore Post (SingPost) has just opened its $182m logistics hub at Tampines and with this new facility, MayBank KimEng expects ample room for the firm to scale up and is able to handle peak season demand more efficiently.

"The facility is able to sort up to 100k parcels a day and is much higher than the previous capacity. Efficiency will improve significantly as well, from integrated sorting, warehousing and delivery processing," it said

Key upgrades from the old logistics hub include: 1) Having goods to go to the staff (Goods-to-Man Picking), instead of staff having to reach for the goods manually;

 2) Consolidation into a single point location, as there is now enough space for warehousing, compared to storing inventories in multiple locations previously;

3) Located nearer to airport and more loading bay could help to handle international goods more efficiently.

According to MayBank KimEng, more flexibility to customers and upskilling staff Flexible offerings to customers will include enhancing product returns, more shipping options for heavier cargoes and optimising the selfcollection network.
