The past decade has been the golden decade of China's logistics.The annual logistics business volume has increased 18 times and ranked first in the world for nine consecutive years.The fast expanding market presents an urgent need for digital transformation in the logistics industry.

In the era of Internet economy, the express delivery and logistics industry has become the key infrastructure for digital life. In China, express delivery and logistics enterprises have accelerated their digitalization process jointly with major Chinese e-commerce giants. They have reached a consensus to grow larger and stronger.

In recent years, the logistics industry has experienced large-scale development owing to the Internet development. However, the industry still has weak points in digital capability building. For many traditional express delivery and logistics enterprises, "How to go digital" has become the main concern.

Deppon Express, as one of the pioneers in industry transformation, has taken early actions in digitalization. Over the years, Deppon has been promoting its digital transformation centering on process-based online operations and functional management.

Core capabilities are also critical to digital transformation. Deppon Express has improved its CI/CD service process by leveraging Huawei Cloud CodeArts' agile, secure, and trustworthy DevSecOps delivery capabilities. Currently, Deppon Express and Huawei Cloud CodeArts have cooperatively migrated hundreds of systems to the cloud.

Efficiency improvement:

Huawei Cloud CodeArts provides Deppon Express with single- and multi-project software and agile collaborative management throughout the application development lifecycle, meeting Deppon Express' requirements of cross-team management, visualized panoramic planning, and multi-dimensional measurement and statistics.

Quality optimization:

Huawei Cloud CodeArts provides refined user management solutions, optimized test design, and code quality gate. The solutions are quickly reusable and measured in more than 15 dimensions, supporting comprehensive decision-making of the enterprise. The test process has been mostly done online with traceable requirements, test cases, bugs, and reports. Code quality and security issues have been automatically checked in the code development phase.

Security and trustworthiness:

With the help of Huawei Cloud CodeArts in code, data, and service security, Deppon Express has built a one-stop software production line for continuous delivery. Core product elements such as requirements, design, code, tests, and bugs are traceable from end to end, to eliminate high availability and backup threats, and improve platform resilience. The product line supports timely restoration in scenarios such as mis-deletion. All these have contributed to an effective and all-around reduction in security risks.

Organizational perception and operation:

Huawei Cloud CodeArts provides agile project management, professional and standard Scrum project collaboration and dashboard processes, and multi-project portfolio management. DevOps is continuously deepened in terms of enterprise operation tools, services, and culture.

In this cooperation, Huawei Cloud CodeArts brings a sense of acquisition to Deppon Express.

After digital transformation, Deppon Express' business requirements are simplified and managed in a unified manner. The R&D department can directly use the requirement pool.

In the test phase, only one test plan needs to be created for one iteration to implement automatic execution. In the delivery phase, code will be committed for pipeline execution and software package generation, greatly improving work efficiency.In the review phase, the number of review nodes is reduced from 9 to 3 to simplify the review process.

According to Deppon Express, it has realized cloud management of hundreds of systems and one-stop requirement management via Huawei Cloud CodeArts.

The e-commerce festival promotion, once a headache for the express delivery industry, is now no longer a problem. The R&D department used to prepare for IT architecture expansion three or four months in advance. Now, through the efficient and agile digital platform, the R&D department can migrate services to the cloud anytime and anywhere. Offline R&D resources are completely freed with elastic pay-per-use services.

The fast improvement of digital live services not only supports the rapid growth of the express delivery and logistics industry, but also contributes to Internet e-commerce success and digital transformation benchmarks.

The cooperation of Deppon Express and Huawei Cloud demonstrates a good example of logistics enterprise digitalization. As more and more cloud partners like Huawei Cloud emerge to share their capabilities, China's logistics industry is sure to become stronger with the cloud in the near future.
