Why should the warehousing industry carry out information construction?

Operating environment of warehousing industry

The requirements of shippers have changed gradually, and the logistics industry must strengthen its service function and improve its service level. But to what extent? Where is the focus of strengthening? This is a commercial issue and the focus of research. In addition, the shortening of working hours and the increase of turnover rate make the improvement of working environment a trend; In addition, the relaxation of legal restrictions makes the competition between enterprises more intense, and the competitiveness of enterprises themselves must be strengthened. All these will eventually lead to the improvement of information technology in the warehousing industry.

Strategic information system of warehousing industry

SIS takes people, things, money and information as important factors.

On the issue of people, we should study the shortage of logistics personnel, drivers, sales personnel and senior management cadres. The problem of materials is the theme of warehouses and distribution centers; The problem of wealth is to satisfy the owner's requirements and control the cost. How to coordinate these four factors organically and develop an accurate and rapid response information system is a requirement for SIS.

Here are two points about quick response. One kind is the report materials of superiors, such as sales analysis and forecast. The second is to deal with accidents and failures quickly and flexibly. Even the best information system failure will also affect the business of warehouse site and circulation center, so there must be rapid response measures. Another example is how to deal with a large number of out-of-stock at the scene? How to report to the owner? What measures should be taken to solve the problem of truck shortage? Therefore, it is necessary to provide a fast information processing system. It should be recognized that realizing timely and rapid response is the basic research purpose of SIS.
