Furthermore, the company has already implemented fully automated solutions, such as bespoke automated sorting belts, at some of its important parcel hubs in Singapore last year. Additionally, the organization intends to implement an automated system for its parcel-processing operations in Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
In 2021, the business completed a series E funding round and brought in 578 million US dollars. It is worth recalling that Ninja Van reported US$638.8 million in sales for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2021, which was about twice as much as the previous year.

Consequently, it is crucial for us to continue investing in systems and processes that can produce these outcomes."
