The characteristics of the third party logistics

?

Comprehensive: three party logistics enterprises can not only provide a single type of logistics service, at least warehousing and transportation. It is necessary to have multimodal transport capacity.

?

Contract: the three party logistics service should be at least one year or more. In view of the high cost of investment, only long-term contracts can make the service of contract logistics providers more sustainable and stable.

?

Customization: three party logistics, compared with express and express, has his particularity. It is custom-made service. The operating requirements of each customer may not be the same. As a contract logistics service provider, it is not how customers adapt to us, but how we adapt to the needs of our customers.

The common bottleneck of the development of three party logistics enterprises

?

Management problems: after the business volume comes up, there are more links, more customers, and less management. First of all, it will affect your service. The boss has become the leader of firefighting. A lot of contract logistics company's capacity to keep up with the operation of the KPI pool, rely heavily on contractors, seriously affecting their industry in heteronomy, industry reputation.

?

Business problem: most of the contract logistics businesses have similar business models. They are doing business by integrating resources and simply outsourcing, without their core competitiveness.

Value added service pressure: with the rise of new retail and e-commerce, customer demand is also increasing. This requires contract logistics providers to create their own brands and meet customers' growing demand changes so as to form competitive advantages.

?

Industry environmental problems: This is not a single point of environmental protection, but also industry policy and standardization. For example, for China Merchants Logistics, we can not directly purchase the transport capacity, the individual driver can not provide me the entry invoice, so we must carry out the outsourcing operation.

Coping strategies

?

Improve management ability: management ability is the foundation for a company to be big and strong. The good operation mode and equipment are not professional, excellent management talents are the tree without root.

?

Pay attention to the improvement of logistics services: cost reduction and logistics efficiency. Customers care about these three aspects. No matter Shun Feng or Jingdong logistics, or other excellent logistics companies, they are inseparable from these three aspects of mining and upgrading.
