(Yicai Global) Dec. 24 -- Dada Nexus, China’s leading on-demand retail and delivery platform, has seen a ten-fold rise in Sam’s Club orders since it first started working with the US members-only warehouse retailer three years ago, the Shanghai-based firm said yesterday.

Its platform Dada Now, which connects delivery staff on motorcycles with vendors in urban areas, provides courier services to more than 100 of the Walmart-owned firm’s outlets across 22 cities. Orders can be placed through the Sam’s Club app, social messaging app WeChat and Dada’s e-retailer JDDJ.

Dada Now was the country’s biggest on-demand delivery platform with 24 percent market share in the first three quarters, according to the firm’s latest earnings report released last month. JDDJ was also the biggest on-demand retail platform in the supermarket sector with 24 percent market share.
