Preface
In fact, the sharing economy concept in China has facilitated the sharing of bikes known to every family, from public life of travel, to share the charging treasure, car sharing, sharing, sharing, sharing the inflatable doll umbrella etc. sleep warehouse products caused by the "true sharing" or "false needs" controversy, to be sure is to share the economy really is changing our life scene......
The tide of sharing the economy is sweeping, and a profound economic change is being set off. But what does this have to do with the cloud storehouse we say today?
?
1. Share the Economic Report
First, let's see an industry report. According to the data released by China Electronic Commerce Research Center in 2016, China's shared economic development report shows that in 2016, the scale of China's shared economic market reached 39450 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 76.4%. The National Information Center shared the center for economic research also predicted that the share economy will grow at an average annual rate of 40% in the next few years. By 2020, the scale of transaction will account for more than 10% of the GDP share. The sharing of the economy will undoubtedly be a major trend in the development of China's economy.
?
Two. What is the sharing of the economy in the logistics industry
What is the sharing of the economy? The core is to integrate scattered idle resources, optimize the allocation of resources through Internet information technology, improve the efficiency of utilization and release the emerging economic form of resource value through the Internet platform.
?
In 2017, the sharing economy showed an outbreak of growth trend, and deeply affected the logistics industry in reducing the cost and increasing efficiency. The traditional logistics can not be interconnected in information, resources, system and so on, which brings serious waste of resources. The emergence of the shared economy is subversive to the change of the logistics industry. By sharing the logistics resources, the efficiency of the logistics cost increase can be greatly reduced.
Three. Current classification of cloud storehouse
Cloud warehouse first is a logistics network with multiple warehouses as its base and through information and transportation. Next is the algorithm system for calculating the inventory distribution in the network with fixed logic. The cloud storehouse is basically summed up in the following three categories:
?
The first category: 3PL multi storehouse - single storehouse or small number of storehouses
Many people say that he is cloud warehouse. Actually, his cloud storehouse is that he has many warehouses, just physical warehouses. There is not much logic and connection between these warehouses, or even basically different shippers. The stock and operation of each warehouse are carried out independently. In essence, this so-called cloud warehouse is a single storehouse. For example (express company and some three parties):
1. medium cloud storehouse
Hangzhou Zhongji supply chain, joint venture or sole proprietorship three party storehouse between headquarters and various outlets, no interconnectedness, began in July 2016.
2. round cloud storehouse
Nationwide network independent do three party warehouse, no Internet, following the original Yuantong Xinlong headquarters just involved in this post.
3. Shen Tongcang
There is no interconnectedness in the three - party storehouse independently made by the national outlets.
4. rhyme to ten thousand storehouses
The three party barn made independently by the national outlets has no interconnectivity and was formally laid out in 2017.
5. other three party storehouses
China Railway Logistics Warehouse's network, logistics, supply chain, Jiuye Uygur Shanghai warehouse, Hunan sino-k network, Hangzhou, Shanghai Yuncang can accommodate new state of supply chain, Beijing e-commerce, zebra Inn, Shishi Dadi logistics, Shanghai Bao Shandong surmax logistics, logistics, supply chain, Beijing Shenzhen ouruite Playwell, Beijing Zhongcheng a supply chain, Zhejiang Changxin Hing network, Ningbo Julong Zhichuang, Henan Jianning logistics, Hangzhou Gu Ru electronic commerce, Chengdu Runbao logistics, Beijing logistics, cloud technology and Guangzhou Shanghai second warehouse warehouse, Hubei post love cloud when the supply chain, Zhuji, Fujian Fu Cang cloud socks Yang Bin, Shanghai Nebula supply chain, Jinjiang easy for supply chain, supply chain, Xi'an cabbage Shanghai Jixin logistics, Suzhou Shengfeng logistics, Shanghai Yi warehousing, logistics, Quanzhou Hongqiao Gu Chi Jiang Susong Matsuwoon Kura supply chain, Putian Le merchant logistics technology...
?
The second category: 3PL multi storehouse - refers to large scale
Many large 3PL say he is cloud bin, flaunt advanced his cloud sheet. This type of warehouse has 2 main abilities:
The first ability is that they can suggest that customers should distribute their inventory in different warehouses based on customer data and customers' requirements for service and cost, so that inventory can be closest to users, thereby achieving faster delivery effect and obtaining lower express cost. The second capabilities, these 3PL warehouse large scale, high degree of automation, strong operational ability, order response speed, performance ability.
For example: (Rookie rookie investment) Anna bin, (Rookie investment) cloud storage, a BES supply chain, logistics, warehouse, Czechoslovakia Zhejiang warehouse, logistics (Northridge day figure three version of the new listing, cloud storage, SF) supply chain, honeycomb net win Ruyi warehouse, smtkw supply chain, general lattice, EA supply chain (listed companies), postal courier logistics warehouse, China, Su Ningyun bin, Ann de bin, Chang He Yuncang, Haier goodaymart......
The third category: National cloud warehouse layout
This is the real cloud storehouse, and I think this is what you really want to do, but there are not so many people in the industry. The cloud storage system not only distributes stocks according to data, has strong ability to fulfill orders automatically, but also actively takes the owner's unit as an example to automatically adjust and allocate the whole channel inventory distribution, centralization and optimization of inventory, and pull up replenishment of upstream supply chain.
For example: Jingdong cloud storehouse, rookie cloud storehouse (also progressively to this aspect of development)...
The most important link of sharing mode is linking. The real sharing is to solve the market demand through system and service. If the platform only shares the resources and customers, and does not guarantee the quality of service, the sharing is pseudo sharing.
?
Four, what can the cloud store bring to the business?
Under the new logistics situation in China, all kinds of cloud warehouses are developing rapidly, and logistics giants are pushing forward to cloud storage services, such as postal cloud storage, Jingdong cloud storage, sunning cloud warehouse, etc. The emergence of so many cloud warehouse platforms has formed a new logistics industry with multi hegemony and hot fire.
In a word, the cloud warehouse can be said to be the third party logistics service mode to open the storage and distribution resources to the society. Signed agreement with cloud storage platform in the business enterprise, in the cloud platform according to the market sales forecast data warehouse to warehouse inventory layout, the use of cloud platform resource inventory in the warehouse, cloth nearest to the consumer in the warehouse. When the customer order is issued, the cloud warehouse platform automatically selecs the best warehouse to pick up shipment, then sends goods to customers by cloud storage platform, and ultimately achieves the extreme response to market demand and improves market competitiveness.
?
In particular, there are the following roles:
1. order completion date
Here the list is given to the customer to receive the goods. In cloud storage mode, we predict sales and advance inventory layout to the nearest warehouse, shorten the delivery time and shorten the order lead time. "Cloud storage" and "cloud storage" the next day, Jingdong cloud warehouse's "211 time limit" and "next day's arrival", each time pursuit of logistics products, reflects the "order completion lead time" is extremely important.
2. supply chain reaction time
The efficient trunk transportation capacity of the cloud warehouse shortens the transportation time from the manufacturer to the warehouse. In addition to many warehouse outlets, inventory is widely distributed, close to customers, there is a powerful and efficient trunk transportation system between warehouses. Shun Feng Yun bin even plans to build freight airport in Hubei, covering 2 hours nationwide, so as to improve the efficiency of Shun Fengyun warehouse's trunk line transportation. The efficient trunk transportation system reduces the time of transportation from the manufacturer to the warehouse.
Warehousing and distribution integration shortens the delivery time of warehousing and distribution. In some warehousing and distribution modes, warehousing sorting packages need to be allocated to distribution headquarters, and then allocated uniformly to each distribution station, which increases the delivery time of warehousing and distribution. In the warehouse, with the integration of the model, direct docking storage information system and distribution information system, unified, unified and encoding rules, sorting directly in the warehouse when grouped according to the distribution and collection site, pick up directly after delivery, warehouse and distribution will greatly shorten the handover time.
In addition to the two reasons, in addition, the "order completion time" has been shortened, and the response time of the whole supply chain is obviously shortened.
?
3. inventory cost of supply
First, the safety stock is low. We know that the shorter the response time of the supply chain, the lower the security inventory in the supply chain network system, and this need not be much more demonstrated.
Secondly, the share of the stock in the cloud warehouse system has also further reduced the security inventory. In general, the increase in the division of the warehouse increases the total inventory in the whole supply chain network. But in cloud storage system, through the ability of quick allocation of trunk lines and the strong order selecion capability of information system, the inventory of each sub warehouse can be shared, so as to reduce inventory in the entire supply chain network.
?
4. net asset turnover (operating capital)
A decline in inventory costs resulted in a decline in inventory costs. The reduction in the occupancy of the stock funds can increase the efficiency of the capital utilization of the enterprise, thus increasing the turnover rate of the net assets.
The light asset logistics model reduces the amount of fixed assets investment. To help enterprises to effectively use funds in key businesses, strengthen core strengths, and increase net asset turnover by reducing fixed investment in non critical business sectors.
Purchasing warehousing and distribution services on demand, light assets and low cost entering the national market are all things that many small and medium-sized enterprises and even well-known big businesses have ever wanted. The deployment of inventory supply chain network cloud, only a few "nouveau riche", like Jingdong, Suning, Haier, can play it. They set up huge resources, build hundreds of warehouses in the country, and distribute inventory to customers. Now, under the support of the cloud warehouse platform, small and medium-sized enterprises can also be able to do the management strategy of the national inventory layout. In the new era of cloud storage, if the innovative small and medium-sized enterprises can better use such social resources first, the more they will seize the market first mover advantage, and the more quickly they will stand out in the industry structure.
?
Five, the realization of the cloud warehouse can be roughly divided into the following 3 kinds
1. party a private cloud
Brand enterprises build their own team and build their own network. This road has been invested heavily, for a long time and is very difficult. For example, Amazon and Jingdong, of course, these private clouds are also open to the public at last.
2. third party public clouds
The third party logistics network for investment operations, all social enterprises open, such as: EMS cloud storage, cloud storage, cloud rookie SF warehouse, BES cloud warehouse etc..
3. industry public cloud
Co - construction and sharing of a cloud platform by industry to focus our orders, share scale effects and share a common competitive ability. In fact, I think this industry public cloud vitality will be beyond the third party public cloud, because this platform can really interact, and the owner can really start to design products and services and to achieve from the owner of the real users, to help the owner to create more value.
Six, the supply chain network and logistics development strategy in the era of cloud storehouse
The importance of logistics, with the rapid development of the e-commerce industry, has been widely recognized by the society. Next, what changes will there be in the role of the logistics, or the status of the society?
Throughout the modern business history, the path from manufacturers to consumers has been changing and innovating. It can be said that the different links in the supply chain have been coquettish for decades. Once, a complex distribution system. Later, the super retail chain has shortened the pathway, they affect the entire supply chain pattern. Now, electricity providers another way, caused the production field reshuffle, micro business, micro business transformation, the future, with the rise of the super logistics enterprises, large coverage, high popularity of cloud warehouse mode, logistics can become a vital pathway, further changes in supply chain pattern?
?
At present, based on the huge advantage of cloud storehouse, the application of each enterprise to this model is shown in the following forms.
?
(1) establishing a private cloud warehouse platform system
It refers to the establishment of a nationwide or even global cloud storage system, including warehousing system and distribution system, to meet the logistics needs of their own businesses and the logistics needs of their own ecosystem. According to the scope of the cloud storehouse, we can divide it into four kinds.
1. global cloud storehouse
This refers to the types of cases that Super enterprises are doing, such as Alibaba's cross-border cloud storage, collecting global storage and distribution capabilities, and supporting global commodity circulation.
2. national cloud storehouse
This refers to the case types of large enterprises based on the domestic market, such as sunning cloud warehouse supporting the logistics distribution of thousands of stores in China, and Jingdong cloud warehouse supporting the order logistics demand of its national electricity supplier customers.
3. area cloud storehouse
It refers to building or leasing multiple warehouses in a relatively small area, combined with express delivery or vehicle distribution, to build a netted supply chain system, so as to achieve faster and more economic logistics services for enterprises in the region.
4. city cloud storehouse
The arrival of new retail, Jingdong and Ali in the layout of the last mile convenience store, will become the last kilometer end of the city terminal cloud storage.
?
(two) provide third party service platform Yuncang
To provide cloud services to other warehouse logistics enterprises, which provide some service cloud logistics enterprises mainly for others, some of the logistics enterprises is mainly for their own services, and then take out a part of the private cloud resources warehouse platform, provide third party logistics services for Social Enterprise Cloud storage.
1. pure Yuncang third party platform
The typical cases such as cloud storage, cloud storage SF bes. To bes cloud warehouse as an example, it combined with Taobao for many businesses open logistics platform, to provide warehousing services, distribution services, and information services etc.. The information service as an example, the order processing function of cloud storage bes can direct orders, Taobao split, in the double 11 period, greatly reducing the Taobao platform pressure data.
2. part-time Yuncang third party platform
Typical cases such as Su Ningyun merchants and Jingdong cloud storehouse, after meeting their own logistics needs, gradually open the logistics resources to the society, and in turn support Suning and Jingdong to complete the strategic transformation to platform companies.
(three) the basic service of the socialized cloud warehouse platform
1. large enterprises use social cloud warehouse to realize specialized division of labor and management
For example, Ningbo Taiping bird electric business and Meizu brand make use of the SF cloud storage platform, stock up the stock, shorten the process, achieve the near shipment, the district distribution and the fast delivery, which not only reduces the comprehensive logistics cost, but also improves the DSR score of the store.
2. small and medium-sized enterprises borrow a cloud warehouse platform to achieve rapid market expansion
The characteristics of the heavy assets of logistics warehousing and distribution are beyond the scope of many small and medium-sized enterprises. Even from 2011, the logistics industry began to develop, so far, many enterprises are still at a lower level of logistics. If the cloud platform of professional positions to enjoy professional logistics services, asset light mode, it is innovation and advantages of some products of small and medium-sized enterprises, will greatly improve the speed of market development.
In recent years, a number of large warehouse cloud platform, cloud storage, cloud Jingdong SF warehouse, warehouse, warehouse Su ningyun bes cloud, open cloud storage services to their society. Taking Shun Feng as an example, in the second half of 2015, Shun Feng launched the timeliness service of "cloud storehouse" and "cloud warehouse next day" in hundreds of cities throughout the country. The storehouse immediately refers to the customers' valid orders by 11 a.m. on the same day, all of which can be received by 20 by the same day. The next day of the storehouse refers to the order before 20, and the goods can be received before 18 o'clock the next day. Cloud warehouse customers, such as all kinds of electric business enterprises, will store goods in various warehouses ahead of time, so as to turn provincial parts into provincial parts, city parts and regional components, and deliver goods nearby, so as to realize the extreme speed logistics service that is delivered to the next day and the next day. In the future, the development of e-commerce logistics is fast logistics service. The efficient logistics service of Jingdong is enough to prove this.
At present, there are many large, high quality open platform service providers in the cloud warehouse market. According to the principle of economics, in a market, when there are multiple matched suppliers, this is a competitive market, and it looks like it is not a monopoly competitive industries. Competitive market to market demand to provide reasonable price service, therefore, cloud Cangji might develop the demand side of the market standard, become the basis for economic and social services. At this point, we see the emergence of cloud warehouse logistics, which has led to a great change in the basic management environment of the social logistics.
?
Seven. How to realize the shared cloud storehouse?
The integration and utilization of logistics resources is only one part of shared cloud storehouse, and the other end is the small and medium-sized customers in the sharing system. The shared cloud storage platform is used for centralized classification, planning and automatic matching of logistics solutions by integrating small and medium-sized customers. Through the platform service supply chain upstream and downstream, the resources are integrated, promoted and matched, and the shared resources are landed on the flow.
1. national warehouse headquarters operation, let all the warehouses become a warehouse. Traditional warehouses, such as the B2B warehouse of the traditional chain enterprises, the three party warehouse of the regional isolated electricity providers, the landing enterprises and the transformation warehouses, etc., according to the functions, there are different goods stored in different warehouses, and the system service ability is uneven. The warehousing system of the whole country is a warehouse with different functions. The headquarters of the platform is operated by using big data to achieve the order according to the customers' orders, to pick up goods from different warehouses, even to match orders, pick up and distribute, and to save logistics costs and improve logistics efficiency.
2. the traditional warehouse upgrade to meet the needs of modern consumers, sharing the cloud warehouse platform service for the rapid upgrade of the warehouse.
3. software, OMS order management system and WMS warehouse management system, help warehouse intelligent collaboration.
4., market optimization and resource sharing services, regular storage area market analysis and market capacity training, personnel training and transportation, platform customer resources flow support, etc., making warehouse management easier.
5. hardware, automatic sorting machine, intelligent robot and a series of automation equipment to help the warehouse to reduce the cost of about 50%.
6. client integrated operation, class standardization upgrade. Through the integrated operation of small and medium-sized e-commerce, the system is unified to classify, plan, improve the service ability and match the shared resources. Thus, the operation process is simplified and the cost is reduced. ?To realize the optimal link between the warehouse and the customer and to get through the whole supply chain system.
7., we optimize the supply chain resource allocation through platform, provide solutions for all links in warehousing, transportation, distribution, payment, finance and other sectors, from warehousing resources to small and medium-sized customers, achieving standardization.
The 8. other forms of cooperation to build a nationwide network to achieve the nearest warehouse, goods storage, the nearest distribution, improve the efficiency of logistics system, the idle warehouse, capacity utilization, optimize the allocation of resources, thereby reducing the transportation cost and storage cost, through the headquarters operations, make every link of the logistics are more professional, more simple and more efficient.
The next day or 9. day, the terminal to enhance the consumer's shopping experience.
Sharing cloud storage platform, sharing the economic mode, integrating the idle storage resources of small and medium-sized electricity providers and logistics enterprises, and building a warehousing and distribution system covering the whole country. based on the central operation collaborative management platform, through headquarters operation mode, we link the warehouse with customers, create a flat and fast supply chain system, and achieve the upgrading of logistics industry's cost, efficiency and experience.
