Yingke learned that Guangdong Towin Tianhai Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Towin Tianhai"), a cross - border logistics service provider, recently announced the completion of a nearly 100 - million - yuan RMB Series C financing round. This round of financing was jointly invested by Zheshang Venture Capital and Aerospace Fund.

We have summarized the information of this round of financing and several highlights of the company:

01 Financing Details

Financing Amount: Nearly 100 million yuan RMB

Financing Round: Series C

Investors: Zheshang Venture Capital, Aerospace Fund

Historical Financing: The company has previously received investments from several institutions such as Shenzhen Capital Group and Baiyun Financial Holdings.

Use of Funds in This Round: The investors in this round will provide corresponding industrial support to Towin Tianhai. Zheshang Venture Capital plans to utilize its industrial resources to support the company's business expansion in the overseas shipping scenarios of medium - and large - sized products such as furniture, electrical appliances, sports equipment, and electromechanical products. As a local fund in Guangzhou, Aerospace Fund will cooperate with the company to strengthen its supply - chain service capabilities in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area.

02 Company Basic Information

Establishment Time: 2008

Company Positioning: A global door - to - door digital and intelligent AI fulfillment and delivery service provider for medium - and large - sized products. Its business scope covers domestic pick - up, domestic customs declaration, domestic warehousing, domestic trailer transportation, air/sea freight, overseas customs clearance, overseas trailer transportation, overseas warehousing, and overseas delivery services.

Core Advantages of the Company: Towin Tianhai has established a global digital and intelligent fulfillment and delivery network centered around the "China - US dual hubs". Currently, it operates 7 overseas warehouses in the United States, covering functions such as ports, transshipment, and drop - shipping, with its service scope covering about 90% of the US territory. In addition, the company holds node resources such as the operation rights of US customs clearance agencies, terminal yards, self - operated trailers, truck platforms, and post offices, achieving independent operation of key nodes in cross - border logistics.

Partners: Logistics service provider for platforms such as Amazon (Amazon SPN, Amazon FIST), Alibaba, TEMU, TikTok, and Shopee.

03 Market Size

The latest data released by the General Administration of Customs shows that in 2024, China's cross - border e - commerce import and export volume exceeded 2.7 trillion yuan.

As the export structure transforms from traditional small and light products to high - value - added products, "medium - and large - sized" products represented by furniture, home appliances, and mechanical equipment have become the main growth drivers. Data shows that in 2024 alone, China's export value of furniture and its parts reached 483.03 billion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 7.0%. The export volume and value of household appliances also maintained double - digit growth.

Different from standard express delivery, medium - and large - sized products face pain points such as large volume, non - standardization, difficult last - mile delivery, and complex after - sales service. The entire door - to - door cross - border logistics chain consists of nine major links, with characteristics such as multimodal transportation, multi - country operations, multi - language coverage, and multiple price fluctuations.

The traditional logistics model often faces challenges such as long chains, high costs, and opaque information when handling such orders. Facing the huge export stock and incremental markets, there is a clear market gap for professional medium - and large - sized product logistics services with full - chain door - to - door fulfillment capabilities.

04 Technological Highlights

In response to the cumbersome cross - border logistics process, Towin Tianhai has invested in the research and development of the "Towin Tianhai Cloud™" fulfillment and delivery platform.

This platform integrates modules such as a digital transportation capacity network, an intelligent dispatching platform, a logistics control tower, a digital and intelligent order - pooling platform, an end - to - end solution platform, and longitude - latitude visualization, and applies AI Agent technology to optimize the process:

1. Automated decision - making: Use AI models to analyze logistics requirements, shortening the decision - making process such as price inquiry and order placement from hours to minutes.

2. Risk early warning: Establish prediction models for fulfillment risks such as delays, inspections, and damages, and conduct proactive early warnings.

3. Intelligent dispatching: Apply AI algorithms to terminal packing and route planning. Data shows that through the "intelligent order - pooling" algorithm, the average loading rate of customers has increased by about 15%.

05 Thoughts of the Founder

Xie Shengwei, the chairman of Towin Tianhai, said, We are experiencing a transition from the era of 'Made in China' to the era of 'Chinese Brands Going Global'. The overseas shipping of medium - and large - sized, high - value products is the next blue ocean. The mission of Towin Tianhai is to use 'digital and intelligent AI fulfillment' as the foundation to make complex cross - border logistics as simple, visible, and reliable as sending an express delivery. After this round of financing, we will continue to invest in technology research and development and physical networks to build a global digital and intelligent transportation network. We aim not only to be a 'logistics service provider' but also to become an infrastructure partner for the overseas expansion of China's new quality productive forces.
