Thailand Logistics: The Development Trend of International Logistics

At present, the development of the international logistics industry is getting better and playing a very important role in the fields of e-commerce and freight transportation. Then, the Thai freight company will introduce you to relevant information about international logistics:

Firstly, in order to ensure the smooth operation of international logistics, it is very important to have unified standards. It can be said that without unified standards, the international logistics level will not improve. At present, the United States and Europe have basically achieved unified standards for logistics tools and facilities such as 1000 × 1200 mm pallets, several containers with uniform specifications, and barcode technology, greatly reducing logistics costs and reducing transportation difficulties. However, countries that do not meet this standard will inevitably spend more time and cost on transportation, car exchange, and other aspects, thereby reducing their international competitiveness.

Secondly, the scope of the system is broad, and the functional elements of logistics itself make communication between the system and the outside world very complex. International logistics has added elements from different countries to this complex system, which not only involves the breadth and vast space of the region, but also involves more internal and external factors. The longer the required time, the wider the scope, and the direct consequence is an increase in difficulty and complexity, as well as an increase in risk.

Thirdly, an important characteristic of international logistics is the difference in logistics environment, especially the difference in logistics soft environment. The different laws applicable to logistics in different countries make international logistics much more complex than domestic logistics, and even hinder the development of international logistics. The different levels of economic and technological development in different countries can lead to international logistics being supported by different technological conditions, and some regions may even be unable to apply certain technologies to force a decline in the level of the international logistics system. The different standards of different countries have also led to difficulties in international integration, making it difficult to establish an international logistics system. The customs and cultural factors of different countries have also greatly restricted international logistics.

Fourthly, international information systems are crucial for international logistics, especially for international multimodal transport. The difficulty in establishing an international information system lies in management difficulties and huge investment. Due to the high level of logistics informatization in some regions of the world and the low level of informatization in others, the information level varies greatly, making the establishment of information systems more difficult.

The above is an introduction to international logistics. Every industry requires a unified standard and there is a process involved, which cannot be achieved overnight.
