How can the logistics industry continue to develop with the help of the Internet?
The logistics industry, from being a bodyguard in the past to today's supply chain, has indeed gone through many storms. However, looking at the modern logistics industry, there are two things that have not changed compared to the traditional logistics industry. The first is extreme dependence on the brand, after all, others have entrusted their own goods to you, and for a long time, the goods have been out of control; The second requirement is funding for operation. If one is too poor to afford it, and if the goods are lost or damaged, they must be compensated, let alone a large number of personnel and vehicles. I feel that the iron gate of the modern logistics industry has been kicked out countless times since entering the Internet, especially in the era of mobile Internet and big data.
Firstly, the information flow is constantly driving in. Without solid information processing software and communication methods, it is embarrassing to say that one is in the logistics industry, and even physical and mental labor has become an established reality. In this sense, when it comes to logistics, it's better to first talk about how information about "goods" flows? Without information, there is no logistics. Today's people are not deceiving me! If you are old enough, then rely on large information platforms or build your own platform. If you are too young, bring your own delivery truck and quickly work on the platform.
Secondly, the concept of a large supply chain is involved. Door to door end-to-end, domestic and international, upstream and downstream, vehicle cargo matching, a complete supply chain concept has fully integrated into traditional logistics. The railway police style logistics of each managing a segment has completely lost its market, and customers only care about whether their problems have been solved or not. As for what you can do, you are too lazy to think about it. The development and matching of roads, tools, and information do allow customers to think like this. Therefore, if you are still running a solo gang or only want to start an independent business without attempting to integrate, then you will inevitably be on a dead end. Thirdly, financial intervention. Big logistics is a game of information flow for the wealthy, while small logistics is a franchise game of embracing the big picture.
Supply chain finance has completely changed the direction of resource matching and utilization. In this industry, first look at who has money and keep a close eye on them. Those who don't have money should be moderately vigilant and not confuse the order. Modern logistics, which integrates concepts of information, finance, and supply chain, has become a typical cross-border industry. The solution is not within the industry, but outside the industry.
