Logistics is the core entity link of electronic commerce
"Logistics, credit, payment was hampered our country electronic commerce development of three mountain, and when the two mountains" credit and payment "is removed, the" logistics "is still a bottleneck of the whole industry development.
Choose the third party logistics or self-run logistics, still plagued by "electricity" strategic decisions. This problem highlights the existing in our country third party logistics can not meet the demand of electricity development of deep contradictions.
Before 2009, electricity and private Courier once in the "honeymoon period", and the third party logistics is the first selection of electricity enterprise.
In recent years, the development of electronic commerce in our country, especially in the network shopping, greatly promote the development of third party logistics in our country, especially the private Courier; And represented by "cross" of the vigorous development of the private Courier company, supported by the rapid development of electronic commerce in our country.
Private Courier enterprise greatly reduces the electric business enterprise logistics cost in our country. Give priority to in order to join mode of private Courier industry implements the national layout, low cost support the electricity enterprise quickly open the national market.
Since 2009, has the financial strength of large electric business enterprise, such as taobao, jingdong, dangdang version are the self-built logistics system as a key enterprise strategy. This strategic choice does not mean self-conducting logistics is better than that of the third party logistics, but existing extensive development of the third party logistics did not accord with the characteristics of electrical business logistics services, cannot satisfy the sustained and rapid development of electricity industry and the underlying demand for logistics.
Investigate its reason, one is the existing third party logistics enterprise, logistics personnel overall service level is low, cannot meet the electricity business enterprise quality of service requirements; Secondly, the existing single services, third party logistics enterprise informatization level is low, cannot meet the electricity business enterprise demand for supply chain solutions.
Electric business enterprise the strategic choice is not representative of the logistics industry to the long-term development of the trend. From the point of logistics industry characteristics, the characteristics of its specialization and scale economy determines the self-run logistics is not the industry development trend, the third party logistics is one of the logistics industry development direction.
Third-party logistics company must to the current electricity enterprise strategic choice have a clear understanding of self-built logistics, the logistics industry to the long-term development of the trend to have a correct judgment.
A lot of third-party logistics companies see electricity enterprise self-built logistics; See the importance of logistics for electricity, began to rely on their own logistics network to carry out the electronic commerce business, it is a kind of decision, of putting the cart before the horse is likely to lead to its e-commerce business failed to form a competitive, logistics business also gradually lost competitiveness.
In short, the current third-party logistics and e-commerce self-conducting logistics game mainly reflects the lack of suitable for our country electronic commerce the characteristics of the third party logistics services.
Our country third party logistics is in the low level of overall logistics developed under the background. Electricity enterprise self-built logistics is actually in the make up for the electronic commerce logistics, is the third party logistics in the existing cannot meet the demand of the development of strategic choice; But this does not rule out the electric business enterprise logistics department after bigger and stronger, become independent third party logistics enterprise, provide service for the electric business enterprise.
Existing third party logistics enterprise, therefore, if you want to continue to electricity enterprise services, you must truly to understand the characteristics of electronic commerce, development can meet the demand of electricity enterprise e-commerce logistics service.
