Express in big cities how to "home"
?
Not long ago, Shenzhen carried out fifth anti power regulation and regulation action, the whole city prohibited electric tricycle traffic; Guangzhou continued to increase the management and enforcement of illegal traffic in non motor vehicles. Express vehicles are also one of the management objects; Beijing, Shanghai and other cities are in order to solve non core functions in order to check all kinds of security risks. ... In the process, the terminal nodes and express vehicles of express logistics enterprises are affected to varying degrees.
?
At present, the contradiction between the standardized management of megacities and the traditional operation mode of express logistics industry appears. How to make express delivery in big cities? How to get residence permit in megacities?
?
There are more and more express tickets in big cities, and new problems are encountered in sorting and delivery.

At 5:30 in the morning, starting from the Shunyi floor village near the capital airport to take parts at the dialing center in Yao's shop in Shunyi; 7:30, at 7:30, take parts to the Dongcheng District distribution point; at 9, arrive at the distribution point, stop and discharge the goods, pick up the parcels on the electric tricycle and start the dispatch; at 3 p.m., the dispatch is over, into the collection period; On the 8, departed for Shunyi, one-way 40 - 50 km; 12 o'clock in the evening, back to the village and rest.

This is the life of Yang Xiqiu, one of the six outlets of Beijing yushao Dongcheng, and the day of his express. "Now more and more express, but outlets want to find the right place, but it is more and more difficult, and the courier is running longer and longer." Yang Xiqiu said. Yang Xiqiu's delivery area is Dongcheng, which used to be in a small courtyard in Dongcheng District. With the strengthening of urban governance, the network has moved 3 times.
?
For the first time, it moved out of the small courtyard and moved to a store near 110 square meters.
The second time, moved to the south of Majuqiao, but nearly 60 kilometers from the division center, more than 20 kilometers from the dispatch area, the delivery, taking parts is not convenient, Yang Xiqiu continued to look for the place.
?
Third, from Majuqiao to Shunyi Tower Village, office, customer service, employees are in the village.
?
In addition to the express delivery point, there should be a distribution point. Yang Xiqiu introduced, the company rented the distribution point is actually a parking lot on the side of the East Second Ring, the open air has no shelter, "it is raining and snow, can only hide in the car, wait for the rain and snow to stop sorting." Reporters saw that the parking lot focused on 3 express enterprises: excellent speed, quick and flexible. And the parking lot is opposite to the iron fence, and there is the central business hub.

In Shenzhen, express companies are facing another new problem. With fifth Jin Mo brownouts campaigns carried out, Shenzhen courier delivery only with two electric cars and mini trucks. Two wheeled electric vehicles carry less goods and the safety of goods is difficult to guarantee. But even two wheeled electric vehicles are facing difficulties in filing. "Shenzhen has designated the express industry as a special industry, marking the quota system for two rounds of electric vehicles, but the number of quotas is far less than demand, and the gap is bigger." The head of the Shenzhen area of a certain express company said.
?
Is it feasible to deliver two wheeled electric vehicles with less trucks and mini trucks in Shenzhen? In Shenzhen, fuel cars are also subject to quota system, and license plates are hard to get. New energy vehicles are encouraged by government departments, and recharging is also a major problem. The head of the business said. Moreover, for franchising outlets, replacing electric tricycles into cars, buying cars and hiring drivers means multiplying costs.
?
The cost is high, recruitment is difficult, and the traditional delivery mode needs to be innovating.
?
In megacities, the difficulty of recruitment is also becoming more and more serious.
?
Express industry is a labor intensive industry. The business of large cities is large, and the wages of couriers are higher than those of other cities.
?
However, in recent two years, courier companies are increasingly difficult to recruit in megacities. The person in charge of a network of express outlets told reporters that employees' wages were rising year by year, but the working hours were 15 - 16 hours a day. "Too hard, many young people are not willing to do it." At the age of age, many new technologies are slow to learn. Even with direct battalion mode, the recruitment difficulties also exist.

A SF express told reporters that the volume of business in big cities is high. Several salesmen can't wait to quit. In addition, as the cost of living in large cities is increasing, more and more flowers are made, many of them have gone to the second line city to do the express delivery, or do something else.
Node is an important part of express business, and its business cost is rising rapidly. Yang Xiqiu counted out an account. There are 4 small rooms, 2 big rooms in Shunyi, and a shared Xianghe warehouse, the rent is 8000 yuan / month. The parking lot in Dongcheng District is 80 square meters, and the monthly rent is 7000 yuan. Yang goods less, 1700 yuan share the fast bear 1800 yuan, the rest of the bear by tact. Yang Xiqiu has 8 people. Each courier gets 6500 to 7000 yuan a month, and he also eats, packages, packages and delivers. So the cost is 65 thousand yuan per month. For every piece he sent, he could get 2 to 3 yuan from the company. "At the end of last year, the company divided the distribution of Beijing city into one class, which was more than 1 yuan per piece in the outskirts of the suburb. Although it was a cup of water, it was also encouraged." Yang Xiqiu said.

Han Fangfang, a researcher at Tantong Research Institute, said the contradiction between the concept of megacities development and the traditional operation mode of express logistics industry is emerging. For example, Guangzhou has repeatedly stressed the construction of clean, clean and orderly cities, and Shenzhen emphasizes the safety and development. These cities advocate the main tone of the urban development and the ensuing environmental, safety and traffic management. "No matter in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the forbidden power regulation and regulation action, or the non core functions of Beijing and Shanghai, are forcing the transformation of the operation mode of the express logistics industry in megaccities." South Korea Fang said, in a sense, the urgency of "two pioneering" of express logistics enterprises can not be ignored.

Intensification and intellectualization should become the breakthrough of urban logistics and express.
?
Express delivery has become an important part of urban life. It is impossible to turn back. But at the same time, the standardized management of cities, especially megacities, is also a trend. How should the express industry resolve these contradictions? With the opinion issued by the general office of the State Council on promoting the development of electronic commerce and express logistics in collaboration with the Department of the State Council this year, the "encourage express terminal intensive service" is put forward, and the new words such as "intensive" and "joint distribution" are frequently entered into the people's field of vision. Many experts believe that intensification and intellectualization should become a breakthrough for urban logistics and express.
Intensive, how to do? In Lujiazui, Shanghai, an inch of gold, many office buildings, express industry here to explore the new way of distribution at the end of the city, providing a sample of the end of the city's joint distribution. Here, commissioned by the property service company, the third party joint distribution platform takes up the express delivery service and temporary storage service of the entire office building. Taking a 40 storey office building as an example, the elevator can hold 20 people. Roughly estimated, the round-trip trip needs electricity consumption of 37.5 yuan, and the energy consumption is more than one million yuan per day. Light, different brands of couriers, elevator up and down is a lot of consumption. A joint distribution platform in Shanghai told reporters that the original purpose of the property acceptance of the common delivery platform as the third party provider of express service was to reduce the cost of management. "Energy consumption is on the one hand, on the other hand, before the express staff is one of the difficulties of the office property management, from the face of different express enterprises to the management of a single enterprise to face a single management, more efficient."

"Build a factory + site" mode is further intensive. The "build package factory" is to realize the centralized sorting operation of several affiliate outlets, and to solve the spatial pressure of the operation site of the joining outlets in the central city. "Site" is a combination of value-added services, such as collection, collection, sales, and other value-added services, to cover the business area of the franchise network, the layout is more close to the end users. The typical representative of the express terminal service place is rookie inn. Han Fangfang told reporters.
?
However, the deep integration mode of building factories and sites is still facing many challenges in practice. There have been pilot projects to build the third party distribution platform, and the franchisees' attitude is positive. The headquarters attitude of each brand is not clear. "In depth the integration of third parties, how to guarantee the quality of service, how to maintain the brand image? only to solve these problems, the various brands to build third party distribution can be implemented." Liu Fu, deputy general manager of Beijing company.
Intelligent delivery path is also recognized by the industry as the end development trend. It is estimated that in 2017, the total deliveries in express mail boxes in the urban area accounted for nearly 10%. But is it necessary to pay for the use of intelligent express box? If we pay, who should bear the cost? The two questions haven't been determined yet. As a result of not finding a stable profit model, today, only Feng Chao, China Post, and Chinese postal express are the two biggest players in the market.
?
In January of this year, Feng Chao completed the A round of financing. At the same time, Feng nest announced the development of a "new face with smart courier cabinet UAV + intelligent distribution car". The express cupboard adopts eight dimensional stereo vision design to support "brush face" pick up, which can accommodate over 600 express. Residential delivery, intelligent express box delivery and public service station delivery complement each other, which is expected to accelerate the formation of new terminal delivery mode.
