Covering a total area of 100,000 square metres, SPX's new sorting centre is predominantly automated and is capable of handling up to 2.5 million parcels per day after completing its first phase of operation and is expected to be able to process 5 million parcels per day in the next phase, with an impressive accuracy rate of up to 99.97 per cent thanks to its cutting-edge processing system.

The application of state-of-the-art technology solutions to the core sorting areas has created a precise and swift goods sorting process, ensuring that goods are processed to the highest standards with the shortest transit times, helping to enhance the overall shopping experience and cater to the ever-increasing demand for online shopping.
