Why third-party logistics?

The benefits of third-party logistics are as follows:

• Shipping on time

The third-party logistics companies adopt advanced supply chain technology, such as automatic warehousing system, thus can automatically process orders, inventory, and other data. Therefore, if e-commerce merchants hand over logistics to them, for one thing, it can reduce the pressure on its own warehouse system; for another, they no longer need to worry about not being able to deliver goods on time. This will certainly earn the trust of customers.

• Accuracy

The new third-party logistics providers in the market today have introduced FreighTech and FinTech. They can integrate order, inventory, shipment and other procedures with one platform and optimize everything. Against this backdrop, e-commerce sellers are no longer prone to blunders when purchasing raw materials or delivering goods to customers!

• Cost saving

The third-party logistics services are not only efficient, but also low-cost! It is extremely difficult for small and medium-sized e-commerce, especially for IG stores, to build their own logistics fleet. After logistics outsourcing, for one thing, with the help of AI routing and digitalization of freight documents, the cost of enterprises investing in logistics fleets has been greatly reduced; For another, after logistics outsourcing, SMEs no longer need to worry about compensation for transportation accidents.

Is consolidation in logistics really convenient?

With the burgeoning popularity of cross-border e-commerce such as Taobao / jd.com in recent years, “consolidation in logistics ” has become a familiar term for the public. For those who have used Taobao in Hong Kong definitely understand that in the “official consolidation”, merchants first send a batch of goods to the transshipment warehouse. After the transhipper signs the receipt into the warehouse, the merchant will combine different orders for centralized transportation on the Internet, then pay the transshipment fee, and help customers deliver goods in one time.

As the price is relatively low, consolidation has been chosen my most of the SMEs, especially overseas suppliers. However, the limitation, efficiency and quotation risk of centralized transportation might become a nightmare for SMEs. In addition, all sensitive goods, such as liquids and food, are refused by official consolidation; At the same time, just by waiting for other goods to arrive to the transshipment warehouse, it often takes several days to send them to customers, which makes anxious customers shy away. Worse still, the quotation is time-consuming and opaque, and it is too late if the merchants find that their quotation is unreasonably exaggerated.
