How does the logistics industry cope with the Internet age?

With the development of modern information technology, especially the Internet, using the Internet for logistics management has the characteristics of low cost, real-time dynamic and customer-driven. Internet logistics strategy is a strategy for enterprises to grasp the needs of consumers more accurately and comprehensively, reduce inventory, reduce communication costs and customer support costs, and enhance the development ability of sales channels through online procurement and distribution while realizing the production mode based on customer orders.

The development of modern information technology, especially the rapid penetration of the Internet into the market, is prompting enterprises to change their business methods. Because the Internet has the characteristics of open standard, convenient use, relatively low cost and standard graphical user interface, using the Internet for logistics management has the characteristics of low cost, real-time dynamic and customer-driven.

On the one hand, the strategy of Internet logistics is to purchase and distribute goods online through the Internet, a modern information tool, which simplifies the complicated links and procedures of traditional logistics, enables enterprises to grasp the needs of consumers more accurately and comprehensively, thus promoting the planning and arrangement of product production, and finally realizing make-to-order production (BTO), thus reducing the inventory of all links in circulation channels and avoiding the phenomenon of outdated or ineffective products; On the other hand, enterprises can greatly reduce the cost of communication and customer support and enhance their ability to further develop new sales channels in the existing market.

Nowadays, Internet logistics, as a new trend of logistics management, is widely used in enterprise practice, such as GE, Motorola and Toyota, which are actively promoting the development of Internet logistics. What I want to put forward here is that the rise of Internet logistics does not completely deny the previous logistics system and logistics network. On the contrary, they are interdependent, because the cooperation between virtualized enterprises will inevitably produce a large number of physical goods distribution and processing in practice, and these management activities can only be realized on the basis of developed logistics networks, or Internet logistics is based on developed physical logistics networks. Now some excellent enterprises are exploring to combine their advantages organically. (Excerpted from Changfeng Net) /index.php? Document-View -6803
