If internet plus replaces the traditional supply chain management model, how much will its efficiency be improved?

The Internet has not only profoundly changed consumption habits, but also spawned changes in business models and management methods, impacting traditional enterprises. Zhao Qi, consulting director of Accenture's supply chain and logistics services, believes that enterprises are under greater pressure than ever before in terms of price, gross profit and development, and supply chain management is becoming more and more complicated. This complexity comes not only from rising costs and slow sales growth, but also from consumers becoming more and more picky about products and services.

"internet plus" reshapes the new model of supply chain management and returns to the essence of "customer pull"

With the full implementation of the national "internet plus" strategy, "internet plus" has become the hottest word. From the perspective of supply chain management, the traditional industrial thinking is mass production, pursuing low-cost operation, and then influencing end consumers from different channels; Internet technology forces enterprises to change from B2B mode to C2B personalized mode. Supply chain gradually extends the concept of demand-driven to how to interact with customers, so as to deeply understand and serve customers.

At the 6th Logistics Supply Chain Elite Forum, Lu Yunbo, the purchasing director of Lenovo Group, said that with the rapid development of digital home appliances, more and more enterprises are gradually trying C2B mode. The essence of this practice is to reverse the order of supply chain links. It is the channel expansion and big data mining generated by "internet plus" that make this subversion possible.

Improving efficiency has been transformed into rigid demand, and the innovative exploration of "internet plus" has achieved initial results

Although the meeting of "internet plus" and supply chain put forward higher requirements for enterprises, many people in the industry saw the future. In this regard, Hu Min, founder and chief consultant of Lesimen Consulting, the organizer of Sheshan Sword, believes that the Internet has not only changed the traditional supply chain model and market structure, but also brought huge business opportunities and development opportunities to the industry. With the strong connectivity of the Internet, information flow and logistics can be synchronized, which can effectively improve management efficiency and transparency and make supply chain management more suitable for the laws of the Internet era.

Taking the transportation link in supply chain management as an example, B2C logistics has been fully internetized, and consumers and shippers have gained a better experience, while the enterprise-level transportation market has just started. OTMS, the leading community-based transportation management platform in China, refers to the most critical but weakest transportation link in supply chain management, and connects transportation through "Saas system +App terminal" to solve the current problems of dispersion and poor information, and seamlessly connects shippers, third-party logistics companies, transportation companies, drivers and consignees in freight transportation, forming a transparent and open ecosystem based on core processes. On this community-based transportation management platform, orders can be monitored and fed back in real time from release to completion, and the process management is completely transparent. "Using the community-based transportation management system based on cloud can help large cargo owners to establish a whole network view of transportation management, and provide a brand-new solution for enterprises to optimize the end-customer experience, improve the efficiency of transportation management and reduce the cost of system implementation. This is not only a technological breakthrough, but also an innovation in management philosophy. " Duan Yan, founder of oTMS, said.

These successful practices have made the industry see a brighter market prospect. Hu Min, founder of Le Simen Consulting, commented: "Although transportation costs and fragmentation may still exist in the field of supply chain management in a short time, workers must sharpen their knives first if they want to do a good job. Internet plus' provides new governance ideas for practitioners and is an effective way to accelerate the upgrading of supply chain management. Its prospects are worth looking forward to. "
