Introduction to Logistics What are the characteristics of modern distribution compared with traditional distribution?

(1) Regional Internationalization of Logistics Distribution

Further expansion of distribution areas In recent years, countries implementing distribution are no longer limited to developed countries. Many underdeveloped countries and developing countries have also implemented the distribution system in accordance with the requirements of socialization of circulation and actively carried out distribution. As far as developed countries are concerned, the activities of modern logistics and distribution have expanded to inter-provincial, international and intercontinental.

(2) Logistics distribution is faster.

The development of distribution is extremely rapid, and both the scale, quantity and mode of distribution have been developed rapidly. First, the number and scale of distribution centers have increased; Secondly, with the increase of the delivery quantity, the distribution center not only delivers the goods directly by itself, but also adopts the subcontracting distribution strategy. Moreover, in the distribution practice, in addition to the general distribution forms such as independent distribution and direct distribution, there are also distribution methods such as "* * * with distribution" and "instant distribution". In this way, the distribution model has been further developed.

(3) Improvement of logistics distribution technology

The improvement of circulation technology level, increasingly advanced means, constantly updated technology and increasingly advanced labor means are an important feature of circulation activities in the mature stage. The application of various advanced technologies, especially computers, has basically realized the automation of material distribution. Advanced technologies such as automatic sorting, photoelectric identification and bar code are widely used in developed countries. , and established a supporting system, equipped with advanced equipment, such as driverless trucks and sorting machines, which greatly improved the accuracy and efficiency of distribution. Due to the adoption of advanced technology and equipment, the working efficiency of some processes has been improved by 5- 10 times.

(4) Intensive logistics distribution

The intensive degree of modern logistics distribution has been obviously improved. With the increasingly fierce market competition and the obvious acceleration of enterprise merger, the number of distribution enterprises is gradually decreasing. However, the overall strength and business scale are growing, and the intensive degree of distribution is also constantly improving.

(5) Improve service quality.

Improving the service quality of modern logistics distribution In the fierce market competition, distribution enterprises must maintain high-quality services, otherwise they may close down. The quality of delivery service can be summarized as accurate and fast, that is, there are no errors and the delivery cycle is short.
