J&T Express tops 100 million daily parcels, Onfleet wins Frost & Sullivan smart logistics honor, and more: supply chain roundup

J&T Express reported that its average daily parcel volume surpassed 100 million in the second quarter of 2026, according to a release from the Hong Kong-listed global logistics provider. That figure places J&T among a very short list of carriers operating at nine-figure daily volume, and it carries a direct implication for shippers and third-party logistics buyers evaluating network capacity on trans-Pacific and intra-Asia lanes.

J&T Express: 100 million daily parcels in Q2 2026

The Q2 milestone represents a meaningful operational threshold. Carriers at this volume typically command deeper linehaul density, which affects both rate negotiation leverage and service reliability for enterprise shippers. Operations teams routing high-frequency e-commerce or B2B replenishment volumes through Asia should treat the data point as a revised baseline when benchmarking carrier capacity for the second half of the year.

Onfleet earns Frost & Sullivan's 2026 smart logistics honor

Frost & Sullivan named Onfleet its 2026 North American Company of the Year in the smart logistics category, citing excellence in AI-enabled automation and delivery operations optimization, according to a joint release from the two companies. For logistics and IT leaders currently running RFPs for last-mile delivery management software, analyst-backed recognition from Frost & Sullivan frequently appears as a qualifying criterion in vendor shortlisting. Onfleet's win specifically called out AI-driven automation, which aligns with the broader enterprise push to reduce manual dispatch and exception-handling labor in final-mile operations.

The renewal goes beyond standard telematics renewal terms by incorporating automation capabilities developed specifically for Connecticut's operational requirements.

VMS Solutions delivers fourfold planning-speed gain at TKG Taekwang

VMS Solutions announced that global footwear manufacturer TKG Taekwang went live with its supply chain planning platform and achieved a fourfold improvement in production planning speed, per a PR Newswire release. For supply chain planning leaders in complex manufacturing environments, the TKG Taekwang deployment offers a concrete benchmark: the speed gain is attributed to the platform going live rather than a multi-year optimization cycle. Operations teams evaluating planning software upgrades should note the go-live-to-impact timeline as a reference point in vendor conversations.

Texas industrial footprint expands with cold storage and crating capacity

Two Texas-focused logistics infrastructure announcements rounded out the week. Boomerang Industrial broke ground on STX Frio, a 325,274-square-foot cold storage warehouse in Schertz, Texas, expanding temperature-controlled capacity in the San Antonio corridor. Separately, Gulf Coast Crating, in partnership with First Houston, announced it has exceeded 1.1 million square feet of industrial acquisitions across Texas and the Gulf Coast region following the addition of its third facility. Both moves reflect continued industrial real estate investment in the Gulf Coast logistics corridor, relevant for food, beverage, and heavy-industrial shippers evaluating regional distribution footprints in 2026.
