Singapore Post (SingPost) has signed a strategic partnership with SkyNet Worldwide Express (SkyNet) to enhance express and e-commerce solutions across the Asia-Pacific region.
The collaboration, which went into effect on January 1, will see SingPost represent the SkyNet brand locally to deliver a range of international services to SkyNet’s global clients.
Neo Su Yin, chief operating officer, Singapore Post Limited, said, “This partnership is a significant step forward in enhancing our express and e-commerce services. By combining our comprehensive delivery network with SkyNet’s global reach, we are delivering even greater value and convenience to all our clients in Asia-Pacific.”
Enhanced connectivity and speed
According to both companies, the collaboration focuses on providing SkyNet customers with enhanced connectivity and speed across Asia-Pacific. Central to this is SkyNet’s use of SingPost’s Airmail Transit Centre (ATC) as a customs-bonded transshipment hub in Singapore, serving as a critical gateway for regional and global express and e-commerce flows. SkyNet customers will further benefit from a single technology platform that enables them to reach over 180 destinations globally through their existing integration.
Additionally, customers will have access to advanced solutions such as Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) services to simplify international shipping, as well as dedicated facilities for returns quality control and e-fulfilment, enabling brands to manage returns and orders with greater efficiency.
Chaminda Gunasekera, managing director – Asia, SkyNet Worldwide Express, added, “At SkyNet, we pride ourselves on being a reliable bridge for brands going global. By joining forces exclusively with SingPost, we are plugging our international reach into a team that truly knows every corner of Singapore. Together, we are working as one team to open up faster, better opportunities for express and e-commerce clients throughout the region.”
