JD opens unmanned Indonesia store

Chinese e-commerce giant JD has announced the opening of an unmanned store in Indonesia, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia.

The move marks JD's first attempt to bring its unmanned store technology overseas, amid fierce competition from Alibaba Group Holding Ltd and Amazon.com Inc.

Located in a popular shopping mall in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, the 270-square-meter JD.ID X-Mart is the largest store to leverage JD's unmanned store technology to date. It offers an expanded product selection, including fashion and apparel, as well as fast-moving consumer goods and beauty products.
