SHANGHAI, July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dada Group
(Nasdaq: DADA) ("Dada"), China's
leading local on-demand delivery and retail platform, today
announced that Dada Now, its crowdsourced delivery platform, is

retailers. Started in 2019 and having served many well-known chain
retailers including Walmart, Yonghui, Sam's Club, 7 Fresh,
Quanyuantang Pharmacy, Nepstar Drugstore, JD Store, and
Huawei Store, this service will
further enhance Dada Now's omni-channel fulfillment solutions.
Leveraging cutting-edge proprietary technologies and deep
insights into the logistics industry, Dada Now has developed into a
leading local on-demand delivery platform in China open to retailers and individual senders
across various industries and product categories. In the twelve
months ended March 31, 2020, more

orders, fulfilling the delivery demands of participants on the
platforms. As of March 31, 2020, Dada
Now's service covered more than 2,400 cities and counties in

Dada Now provides "crowdsourced rider" and "crowdsourced and
stationed rider" delivery solutions, based on each
brick-and-mortar store's online to offline ("O2O") requirements,
order categories, peak times and other characteristics through the
intelligent analysis of big data. Leveraging a hybrid "crowdsourced
and stationed rider" model, Dada can ensure efficient delivery
performance. Dada Now's Dedicated Delivery service also customizes
the service specifications in different industry segments and
geographic regions.
