Several common logistics service modes in China

Logistics service refers to all the activities carried out by logistics enterprises or their logistics departments to meet customer needs, effectively complete commodity supply and reduce customer logistics workload, from processing customer orders to delivering goods to customers.

According to personal understanding, domestic common logistics operation has the following modes:

Self-operated warehousing+transportation is completely self-operated, such as Jingdong Logistics.

Outsourcing. Warehousing and transportation are completely outsourced, such as Baogong and Sinotrans.

Partial outsourcing. One of the outsourcing of warehousing or transportation is mostly transportation outsourcing, such as SF Express and Debon.

Common logistics service modes are as follows:

The whole country. Similar to SF Express and Debon, the network covers the whole country.

Many small and medium-sized logistics companies only provide transportation services in one or several cities.

Special agent. The agent company is responsible for distributing the goods of each line to various specialized logistics companies.

Distribution. Only responsible for local distribution business, such as supermarket distribution.

Move it. Mainly for urban moving business, moving companies.

Takeaway. Only responsible for short-distance delivery services, such as US group take-out, hungry (this is derived from the errands purchasing service).

Express service in the same city originated from the integration of express delivery and running errands. I don't remember the name of the company. Once the bag was left at a customer's home, and the customer called for express delivery, picked it up at home and sent it right away.

Service mode can also be divided according to the particularity of goods:

General logistics. What home appliances, clothing, raw materials, hardware, machinery and so on.

Cold chain logistics. Mainly used for vegetables, fruits, meat products, dairy products, medicines and other goods that need constant temperature transportation.
