Liu Xuede, secretary general of China International Freight Forwarders Association, believes that the new situation of China's economic development in 2016 has brought opportunities to the freight forwarding logistics industry. In particular, with the acceleration of the construction of the "One Belt and One Road", interconnection and exchange of production capacity, cooperation in major projects such as industrial parks and other major projects Development has spawned the explosive growth of emerging professional logistics such as engineering logistics, Central European train, cross-border e-commerce. With the upstream enterprises accelerating "going global", the international freight forwarding enterprises have stepped up overseas network layout, carried out overseas localized logistics and third-country businesses, and significantly enhanced their international operation. He also pointed out the future development trend of freight forwarders when he released the "Report" and said that at this stage, three major consensus have emerged among the international freight forwarding enterprises in determining their respective development orientation.

 

First, the direction of the business to enhance the logistics of freight forwarding services through the professional proportion. This is reflected in the fact that enterprises should pay more attention to the research and development, improvement and use of logistics technology, logistics information and logistics equipment, attach more importance to the Internet, and use big data to implement online and offline integrated services. With its own ability and strength to introduce new business of logistics finance, logistics insurance, logistics legal affairs, foreign exchange settlement agency and so on, establish cooperation relationship with core customers. The introduction of supply chain management thinking, to enhance the multimodal transport, engineering logistics, cooperative logistics and other full value of the transport.

 

Second, we should pay more attention to cooperation in business philosophy.

In recent years, there are many examples of such cases in the transportation field. For example, UPS and SF announced the joint investment of a new joint venture in the near future to develop a new format in the middle section of existing specialized fields so as to make up for service products that are hard to be independently developed by both parties. This will be another new type of cooperation between big companies.

 

Third, to enhance operational capability, continuous innovation is the key. Successful enterprises not only need to maintain their ability to develop existing scale, but also constantly innovate in the service of customer needs, continuously develop new products and develop new fields, I am strong people. Even in a professional field, or even only in a certain part of the differences between the advantages of their own competitiveness constitute the value of. The future competition in the freight forwarding industry must be manifested in special, refined, special differentiated services.
