    LAZADA appears to be following in the footsteps of e-commerce giants such as Amazon as it doubles down on its ambition to build South-east Asia's largest logistics network.

    The Alibaba-owned player has over 30 fulfilment centres across 17 cities in South-east Asia, with its in-house last-mile deliveries now able to reach 70 per cent of the region's population, said group chief executive Pierre Poignant at a press event. Over 75 per cent of Lazada parcels in July 2019 were sorted in-house.
