In the development of economic globalization, the role of modern enterprise logistics is becoming increasingly prominent. Modern logistics is a part of the enterprise supply chain, which is the process of planning, executing, and effectively controlling the efficient flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from the origin point to the consumption point in order to meet customer needs. Modern enterprise logistics informatization is a management model and innovation that adapts to the requirements of economic globalization and market integration, fully utilizes information technology and modern methods, responds quickly to the logistics market, integrates resources quickly, and optimizes the integration of logistics, capital flow, and information flow. In recent years, the logistics informatization of foreign enterprises has developed rapidly and has become an important aspect of leading the improvement of logistics efficiency for enterprises. In contrast, modern logistics in Chinese enterprises is still very backward, and the progress of logistics informatization is relatively slow. Therefore, Chinese enterprises need to accelerate logistics informatization from six aspects, achieve logistics modernization, and accelerate the improvement of logistics efficiency.
Accelerate the informatization of enterprise logistics market, build network logistics and logistics network platform
Enterprise logistics informatization, on the one hand, is the logistics market and the dynamic development of market logistics demand. It includes the market's demand for the flow of goods, as well as the demand for relevant information, services, technology, and other knowledge in logistics activities. On the other hand, enterprises themselves rely on and demand the dynamic logistics market, and need to accelerate the realization of their own benefits through logistics informatization. This puts forward the content of enterprise network logistics and logistics network construction, through the establishment of two platforms, to communicate the logistics docking between enterprises and the market.
The so-called network logistics refers to the application of market logistics informatization through the Internet. The logistics network is the logistics network established by enterprises. With the rapid development of networking, enterprises have made rapid progress in collecting, organizing, and utilizing logistics market information through the internet. Many traditional enterprises such as General Electric in the United States have highlighted the development of e-commerce in the information age, and logistics electronicization has become the main way of global operation and commodity circulation. At the same time, multinational corporations attach great importance to establishing and developing logistics networks in global operations and competition, making logistics highly organized and facility integrated, and jointly occupying and sharing logistics resources. From the experience of these enterprises, it is important to establish an information platform for network logistics and logistics networks to ensure and promote the informatization of modern enterprise logistics markets. Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of enterprise network commerce and logistics informationization platforms, achieve smooth and unimpeded enterprise informationization, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of logistics informationization. On the other hand, to accelerate the construction of enterprise logistics network information platforms, it is not only necessary to expand its logistics resources to the global market, but also to effectively organize logistics resources worldwide, combine enterprise logistics networks, and form an effective logistics organization and network system.
Accelerate the informatization of logistics relationship management and establish
a new "chain" logistics model for enterprises
Chain based logistics, also known as supply chain logistics, is a new type
of logistics operation mode that has developed in recent years. It is a supply
chain system formed by multiple enterprises and industries according to their
own development and needs. It is a strategic alliance formed by modern enterprises
to adapt to market competition and cooperation needs, and can fully exert the
benefits of the logistics market. However, the "chain type" logistics
system is even more inseparable from informatization. Once there is an interruption
or lack of logistics informatization, it may lead to the interruption of the
logistics chain. Intel Corporation recognized the importance of chain logistics
early on and proposed the concept of information technology for logistics relationship
management. With market demand as the core and modern logistics fast, convenient,
and efficient as the starting point, it established a logistics relationship
management information system to monitor constantly changing situations such
as customer needs, enterprise and consumer, upstream enterprises, and supporting
partners, and guide enterprises to improve their logistics relationship management
level. Our enterprises need to deeply realize that the fate of enterprises
is in the hands of customers, and the market is the ultimate determinant of
enterprise profits. The informationization of enterprise logistics cooperation
alliance management has become a part of modern enterprise management.
Accelerate the informatization of logistics distribution and establish an
enterprise logistics support system
Logistics and distribution informatization refers to the use of modern information
systems and electronic means to strengthen the management of enterprise logistics
chains, form a support system for enterprise logistics, and achieve high efficiency
and benefits in logistics and distribution. The implementation of enterprise
logistics and distribution informatization can systematically and rapidly collect
and process information, data, flow and velocity of various links such as production
manufacturing, raw material supply, commodity sales and consumption through
electronic information technology, and more effectively organize the logistics
and distribution process and coordinate logistics and distribution departments.
In the context of the significant growth of modern enterprise e-commerce and
virtual business operations, it is even more important to develop logistics
distribution and its informatization. In e-commerce, information, logistics,
and payment are the three fundamental supports for the operation of the system,
all of which are indispensable. In contrast, our company's logistics and information
technology development lags behind advanced foreign enterprises. Many enterprises
have not yet established logistics distribution systems, and e-commerce orders
cannot be delivered to consumers in a timely manner, causing many users to
choose traditional logistics forms again. In this regard, enterprises should
accelerate the establishment of a logistics and distribution information sharing
platform involving multiple enterprises and parties, consolidate the foundation
of logistics and distribution informatization, achieve optimal allocation and
fastest flow of logistics resources, and better serve the market.
Accelerate the integration of logistics reputation and informatization to build enterprise logistics brands
Logistics reputation integration informatization refers to the use of modern means and methods to instill information about the creditworthiness of logistics enterprises and products to consumers through trademarks, barcodes, and other forms. Trademarks and codes are both forms used to express information about a company and its products, enhancing logistics reputation and integrating information technology. They are two interdependent components in creating a company's logistics brand. On the one hand, the establishment of logistics reputation requires the creation of logistics quality and the improvement of logistics market credit. Integrity is the foundation and guarantee of logistics brands. On the other hand, with the rapid development of e-commerce operations today, virtual management has put forward new requirements for logistics informatization, which is crucial for establishing logistics brands. This is because e-commerce has the characteristics of online advertising, ordering, delivery, customer service, etc. Both buyers and sellers do not meet in person and rely on logistics to complete the marketing process. In market competition, well-known companies such as Chunlan, Haier, and Procter&Gamble have incorporated logistics into their brand building strategies, placing great emphasis on the high consistency between brand intrinsic quality and external information. Our enterprise should start with the informatization of enterprise logistics trademarks, barcodes, etc., implement global quality management of logistics, strive to synchronize the development of logistics brand enterprises, brand products, and brand trademarks, and fully demonstrate the logistics brand image through logistics reputation and informatization.
