What are the characteristics of logistics distribution?

Characteristics of logistics distribution: In traditional logistics distribution enterprises, a large number of people are engaged in simple repetitive work, and people are slaves of machines, figures and reports, and the hard work is universal. In the new logistics and distribution enterprises with network management, handing over the work of these machines to computers and networks not only reduces the inventory of production enterprises, speeds up the capital turnover, improves the logistics efficiency and reduces the logistics cost, but also stimulates the social demand, which is beneficial to the macro-control of the whole society, improves the economic benefits of the whole society and promotes the healthy development of the market economy. This new type of logistics distribution not only has the characteristics of traditional logistics distribution, but also has the following basic characteristics: (1) informatization. Informatization of network logistics distribution. Implementing information management is the basic feature of new logistics distribution, and it is also the premise of realizing modernization and socialization. (2) networking. Logistics networking has two meanings, one is logistics entity networking. Refers to the network formed by the reasonable geographical layout of logistics enterprises, logistics facilities, vehicles and transportation hubs. The logistics distribution of e-commerce should determine the number and location of various logistics facilities and distribution centers according to the market situation and existing transportation conditions, and form a nationwide logistics distribution network system. The second is logistics information networking, which refers to the information network connected by logistics enterprises, manufacturing enterprises, commercial enterprises and customers through modern information technologies such as the Internet. (3) modernization. The logistics and distribution of e-commerce must use advanced technology and equipment to provide services for sales. These technologies include bar code, voice, radio frequency automatic identification system, automatic sorting system, automatic access system, automatic guidance system, automatic cargo tracking system and so on. Only by adopting modern distribution facilities can we improve the response speed and shorten the delivery time. Moreover, with the expansion of production and marketing scale, logistics and distribution have higher and higher requirements for technology and equipment modernization. (4) socialization. The degree of socialization is an important feature that distinguishes new logistics distribution from traditional logistics distribution. Many traditional logistics distribution centers are often established by enterprises to provide logistics distribution services for enterprises or systems. Although some distribution centers also serve the society, they have great limitations compared with the real sociality of new logistics distribution under e-commerce.
