Logistics value-added service brought business opportunities
We used to tie the logistics and transportation, warehousing, etc, the wealth is not a small number, however, when I had an interview with a circle of logistics enterprises, I found that logistics value-added services provided or will bring us more business opportunities. The so-called value-added services, is on the basis of the complete basic functions, according to the customer demand for all kinds of business activities, if defined its needs, not only can the customer including suppliers, can also be included logistics enterprises and so on. Transfar logistics base is a good example, it is not in the logistics industry itself, its purpose is to build a platform, on the one hand, through the enterprise itself visibility for logistics enterprises to expand into more sales channels, on the one hand, also according to the current needs, to provide all kinds of training for logistics enterprises, such as policy changes to adjust and so on. What's more, it can be through the "tight dragnet" network construction, provide convenience for the enterprise, reduce no-load rate. To sum up, the base of the opening fully caught the needs of the logistics enterprises, as a supply chain downstream customers, find business opportunities. That, of course, not every enterprise has the ability to do, it needs enough capital, sites, awareness and support of the government, but this does not mean that small and medium-sized enterprises can't find the business machine from logistics value-added services. In the interview process, I will come into contact with such a company, it does not have its own transport goods, nor the team, but it skillfully as a "matchmaker", set up a logistics enterprise transport of goods between Banks and the red line, make full use of the status quo of loans for smes, is engaged in the financial logistics industry. For example, A supplier to entrust B to transport goods logistics enterprises, the enterprise can through their own credit to help it in C bank loans, finally from the logistics transportation charges paid to B to get into, it can help logistics enterprise to retain customers, can also help suppliers loans, Banks are also at A relatively low risk to get A client, it may be said "the quartet win together". Such value-added services to provide, but also make full use of the suppliers, logistics enterprises, the needs of the bank. This gives us more development. When the logistics industry development to a certain stage, expand blindly transportation, warehousing and other business, has been difficult to meet the needs of customers, at the same time, with more and more into the enterprise, which is bound to produce price competition or the phenomenon of "the big fish eat small fish", therefore, in which new entrants want to find business opportunities, and avoid the traditional logistics industry "into the low threshold, high development threshold" of the status quo, to seek value-added services is a good opportunity, such as special open a consulting company assist the logistics enterprises in employee training, or to develop a software service dedicated to assist enterprises to manage customers and so on. Of course, all this is but a conception, how to implement, how to profit from this "big cake" logistics, but the wisdom of crowds.
