What are the problems in e-commerce, logistics and warehousing?
At present, the application of information technology in logistics enterprises is not only relatively small, but also the application level is low, and the computer applications are limited to office automation and daily transaction processing. According to the China Association of warehousing survey, most of the logistics enterprises in 2002 still do not have the ability to use modern information technology to deal with logistics information. In the information system of logistics enterprises, business functions and system functions of the information system is not perfect, the lack of necessary order management, cargo tracking, warehouse management system and transportation management system of logistics service system, the ability to integrate the logistics information resource has not been formed. Moreover, in foreign countries, logistics enterprises have widely applied bar code technology, and RFID, GPS/GIS and EDI technology are not ideal for the application of Chinese logistics enterprises. In addition, most of the domestic logistics equipment is relatively old, including three-dimensional warehouse, bar code automatic identification system, automatic guided vehicle system, automatic cargo tracking system, including logistics automation facilities, not much. Compared with foreign logistics management automation with electromechanical integration and intelligent characteristics, the gap is great.
The development of e-commerce depends to a large extent on the logistics enterprises to maintain high quality of service and flexibility, and control and reduce the cost of logistics. But in the logistics industry, some enterprises are empty of vehicles, idle warehouses, while many enterprises are looking for vehicles and warehouses. This shows that the social freight and warehousing resources are not short, and the lack of integration resources between enterprises. Therefore, the application of logistics technology now, the electronic commerce logistics enterprises scattered alliance, forming a service network, is the best way to reduce the cost of logistics and distribution, e-commerce to improve the level of development of e-commerce logistics.
China's logistics system function is not strong, the lack of storage function and transport function coordination, long-distance transportation and short distance distribution lack of effective convergence, poor coordination between the various modes of transport, different logistics services rarely combined, did not form a complete logistics system.
The logistics industry is between the supplier and the buyer of the third party, to serve as the first purpose. Compared with other domestic industries or sectors of China's logistics industry development lags behind, compared with the development of modern logistics industry in the world, in terms of resource allocation, service level, management level, the use of modern means of science and technology, there is a big gap. Mainly for the logistics infrastructure planning unreasonable, in transportation and transportation, line mileage, density and a low level of modernization, weak ability to resist natural disasters; in storage, our country is in the administrative department for the establishment of the warehouse system, size, number and storage equipment modernization level is low; in addition, the entire logistics industry level of logistics management and logistics information level are relatively low.
