1, real time
Logistics information refers to the information generated in the process of goods flowing in the supply chain. It is real-time and can reflect the position, state and transportation progress of goods in time. This enables logistics information to provide accurate data support for all aspects of the supply chain and help enterprises make timely decisions and adjustments.
2. Traceability
Logistics information can provide full traceability of goods. Through logistics information, we can know the transportation path, transfer station and transportation mode of goods from the origin to the destination. This helps enterprises to monitor and manage the process of goods flow, improve transportation efficiency and reduce risks.
3. Diversity
Logistics information covers many aspects of information, including quantity, weight, volume, packaging mode, transportation mode, transportation time and so on. This information can provide comprehensive transportation data for enterprises and help them to make decisions on goods distribution and storage management.
4. Synthesis
Logistics information needs to be collected and integrated from different sources, including suppliers, transportation companies and warehousing service providers. This information needs unified management and analysis, so that enterprises can fully understand the operation of the supply chain and make corresponding decisions and optimization.
5. Value chain support
Logistics information plays an important supporting role in enterprise value chain management. Through logistics informatization, enterprises can optimize the operation of supply chain, reduce inventory, reduce transportation costs and improve delivery speed, thus improving enterprise competitiveness and customer satisfaction.
Use of logistics information
1, transportation optimization and cost control
Logistics information can help enterprises optimize transportation and control costs. Enterprises can optimize and adjust the transportation path and mode of goods by obtaining information such as the location, transportation status and transportation time of goods in real time, improve transportation efficiency and reduce transportation cost.
Logistics information can also help enterprises plan the time and route of goods distribution, reduce the demand for air transportation or emergency transportation, and thus save transportation costs.
2. Supply chain visualization and risk management
Logistics information can realize the visualization and risk management of supply chain. Through the collection and analysis of logistics information, enterprises can fully understand the flow direction of goods in the supply chain and grasp the inventory, transportation and delivery status of goods in time.
This helps enterprises to realize real-time monitoring and management of supply chain, reduce inventory backlog, avoid risks such as transportation delay and loss of goods, and improve the stability and reliability of supply chain.
3. Customer service and satisfaction.
Logistics information plays an important role in improving customer service and satisfaction. Through logistics information, enterprises can provide customers with information such as transportation status and expected delivery time in time, and enhance the visibility and transparency of customers' orders.
This helps enterprises to provide more accurate delivery commitments, solve logistics problems in time, and improve customer satisfaction and loyalty. Logistics informatization can also help enterprises to achieve personalized customization of customer needs and provide flexible logistics services to meet the needs of different customers.
