Under the influence of the epidemic, after last year's twists and turns, the whole international logistics market has exposed the following problems:
1、 Lack of flexibility and redundancy. The entire international logistics system accumulated in the past 20-30 years lacks flexibility and redundancy. When the market pursues high efficiency and lower prices, in fact, no asset allocation chamber will reserve redundant transportation capacity and redundant crisis handling capacity in advance to meet uncertain needs, which is the deep-seated reason for the lack of flexibility and redundancy.
2、 Organizations that lack immediate demand response. Many freight forwarders and logistics companies are used to determining demand. A customer has been cooperating for a year or two, and we all know his needs. The customer service can recite what documents, when to give them and what information. However, there is no plan for international logistics in the epidemic.
New Coronavirus pneumonia has exposed many international logistics problems, and has also promoted some changes in the industry:
1、 The role of shipping companies and freight forwarders in the industrial chain has accelerated the pace of digitization. This year, in the field of container import and export logistics, the proportion of digital online cabin booking has exceeded 15%. A year or two ago, many people always said that it might not happen until 10 years later. It can be said that New Coronavirus pneumonia has greatly accelerated the pace of the industry's digitalization, and the international logistics enterprises that are unable to keep up with this trend may be eliminated.
2、 The owner has a stronger demand for standardized services and deterministic services. In the past, many owners pursued how to obtain cheaper prices, but with this round of large-scale warehouse explosion and cabinet shortage, owners no longer just pursue lower prices, but safer, determined and standardized services.
3、 The position of made in China has been further strengthened, which has laid a solid foundation for the international logistics market. Before the outbreak of the epidemic, many people said that the status of made in China would be replaced by Southeast Asia and other countries, and made in China would end. However, through this epidemic, we can see that no country in the world can quickly replace our excellent system and perfect manufacturing industry chain.
