What Ruiyun Cold Chain does

Ruiyun Cold Chain (瑞云冷链) is a technology-driven, temperature-controlled logistics platform founded in 2020 and headquartered in Shenzhen's Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Cooperation Zone, operating through the legal entity Ruiyun Internet (Beijing) Cold Chain Logistics Co., Ltd. (瑞云互联(北京)冷链物流有限公司). The company executes a 'network + platform + international' strategy built on three integrated pillars: (1) a nationwide cold chain less-than-truckload (LTL) network with 33 transfer centers and 118 backbone routes covering 1,700+ districts and counties; (2) a multi-temperature cloud warehouse network (瑞云仓) spanning 23 cities with 450,000+ square meters of storage serving 150,000+ stores; and (3) 冷运宝 (Lengyun Bao), a proprietary one-stop online freight trading platform linking over 180,000 shippers with 260,000+ drivers, achieving 50%+ market penetration among China's refrigerated vehicles. The proprietary technology stack includes an integrated OTWB system, TMS, WMS, and big-data algorithmic matching engines that automate order-to-fulfillment workflows, intelligent dispatch, electronic proof of delivery, and online settlement.

The company targets B2B customers across food and beverage brand owners, distributors, factories, restaurant chains, fresh e-commerce platforms, and pre-made food brands. Named enterprise customers include Nestlé (ice cream), Mengniu (dairy), Yuanji Dumplings, Ssyn Foods, and CP Foods — each awarding Ruiyun top-tier supplier status. Revenue is generated primarily through per-shipment transaction fees for LTL and full-truckload (FTL) transport, per-cubic-meter/day warehousing and distribution fees, cross-border per-container shipments, and platform transaction/value-added fees on 冷运宝 (insurance, tax processing, freight settlement). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. As of 2024, the platform served over 100,000 terminal stores with 70% year-on-year order growth and was actively expanding cross-border cold chain services into Southeast Asia (Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia) plus Hong Kong and Macau.

The company is venture-capital-backed, with cumulative disclosed funding of approximately US$159 million (1.02 billion RMB) across six rounds from 2021 through 2026, including a US$69M Series A in November 2023 co-led by Jinding Capital and Guizhou Zhongken Fund, a Series A+ of ~US$14M led by Guangzhou Industrial Investment in November 2025, and a Series B of ~US$14.5M in March 2026. The company holds National Five-Star Cold Chain Logistics Enterprise certification, is the sole designated Cold Chain LTL Standardization Pilot Enterprise, and operates the sole Cold Chain Freight Price Index Pilot Platform — all regulatory designations unique within the industry.

Broad incumbents

• SF Holding (顺丰控股): China's largest private express logistics company with integrated cold chain capabilities across air, ground, and warehousing. Directly competes for Ruiyun's F&B enterprise customers (Nestlé, Mengniu, etc.) and operates a far broader service portfolio spanning express, freight, intra-city, and international logistics.
• JD Logistics (京东物流): JD.com's logistics arm with nationwide cold chain warehousing and last-mile delivery, including cold chain B2B and B2C fulfillment. Competes with Ruiyun for F&B brand customers and e-commerce-driven cold chain volumes through its integrated supply chain platform.
• Cainiao Network (菜鸟网络): Alibaba's logistics platform with cold chain capability through partnerships and owned infrastructure. Competes with Ruiyun in cross-border China-ASEAN cold chain corridors and serves overlapping F&B brand customers via Tmall and Tmall Fresh channels.
• Best Inc. (百世集团): China-based logistics and supply chain platform with cold chain capability as part of its broader parcel, freight, and warehousing portfolio. Competes with Ruiyun for F&B brand customers requiring integrated warehousing and transportation.
• ZTO Express (中通快递): China's largest express delivery company by parcel volume, increasingly offering cold chain services. Competes with Ruiyun on nationwide reach and is scaling cold chain to capture F&B and fresh e-commerce demand.

Direct peers

• Manbang Group (满帮集团): China's largest truck freight matching platform (Full Truck Alliance). Most directly comparable business model to Ruiyun's 冷运宝 platform — both operate digital freight marketplaces — but Manbang is general freight whereas Ruiyun specializes in cold chain.
• Anch Cold Chain (安鲜达): Cold chain specialist serving Tmall Fresh and Alibaba's fresh e-commerce. Direct cold chain 3PL peer competing for similar F&B brand, fresh e-commerce, and restaurant chain customers with end-to-end temperature-controlled distribution.

Emerging players

• Huolala / Lalamove (货拉拉): China's leading intra-city freight matching platform now expanding into inter-city and adjacent verticals. Comparable platform-led model to Ruiyun's 冷运宝 but currently focused on ambient freight with emerging cold chain capability.
• Shanghai Yiguo E-commerce (易果生鲜): Fresh food e-commerce platform with owned cold chain infrastructure. Competes with Ruiyun in the F&B and fresh e-commerce cold chain fulfillment segment, particularly for the restaurant chain and pre-made meal brand customers.

Regional players

• J&T Express: SE Asia-origin express logistics company expanding across Asia including China. Directly comparable as a competitor in Ruiyun's new cross-border China–ASEAN cold chain corridors given J&T's established SE Asia ground network.
