Daraz celebrates third anniversary of its logistics arm ‘DEX’ 

E-commerce platform Daraz Bangladesh celebrated the third anniversary of its digitalised logistics arm, Daraz Express (DEX), this month.

Marking the occasion, Daraz's Founder and CEO Bjarke Mikkelsen said DEX was launched to provide a more seamless and integrated service for both sellers and customers, and open up commerce across the region, reads a press release.

"This is an important milestone for our business and DEX has been a huge success. It has grown significantly over the past three years with more than 240 logistics facilities across South Asia, enabling us to deliver over six million packages each month. It is not only allowing us to connect buyers to customers across geographically challenging markets but the efficiencies we have created through our digitised offering have enabled us to deliver packages 1-2 days faster than other service providers at a reduced cost and higher success rates"

Launched in 2018, DEX supports over two-thirds of the deliveries purchased on Daraz's platform. 

As Daraz gears up for the iconic annual one-day sale, 11.11, DEX recruited an additional 1500 DEX service providers to ensure prompt deliveries throughout Bangladesh.

Khondoker Tasfin Alam, COO, Daraz, said, "Ever since its inception, DEX has been an immense success for us. It paved a new way to connect buyers to customers across the country, including the outposts.  As we prepare for the exciting 11.11 event, we hope to provide instant and seamless service for both the sellers and customers during and beyond this special event."
