Express PK Special Line
Are different modes and characteristics divided, and will express and dedicated lines converge? Are the points of conflict inevitable? What are the differences between the two?
Firstly, the controversy over prescription
Express transportation is not necessarily faster than special line logistics enterprises in terms of timeliness. Special line is mainly between two points of transportation, while express transportation is basically a network enterprise whose main feature is the mode from point to point after distribution and then to point.
The second is the dispute over goods procurement.
The scope of freight collection by express transport enterprises is basically divided into kilograms and the price of freight collection; there are also restrictions below 1000KG or 3000KG for large tickets.
The basic quotation of special line enterprises is tonnage quotation, supplemented by kilogram quotation. At the same time, the demarcation line between tonnage and kilogram is not clear. For example, the price of special line logistics quotation of more than 500 kilograms and less than one ton will be charged according to one ton, etc. (Throwing goods according to the ratio of cubic fee to tonnage swap over the same period of time).
In terms of the scope of goods, express transport enterprises often have different standard boundaries, while special line enterprises are basically not refusing to come, as long as the source of goods is not illegal, it is basically all-in-one.
Thirdly, the disputes over the scope of service
Private line logistics enterprises are basically specialized in operating one or more lines, whose business characteristics are from point to point and then cover the whole area. For example, from Jinan to Hangzhou, the service scope of special line logistics enterprises is from Jinan to Hangzhou and around Hangzhou, even within Zhejiang Province.
Express focuses on network services, which are basically from point to face. The scope of services is the outlets all over the country. Obviously, the scope of its services is a single one, and a comprehensive coverage of multi-faceted services.
Fourth: Routing Dispute
Private line logistics is basically fixed trunk line transportation, there is no problem of routing and bus route setting. Express enterprises have different distribution settings and bus routes according to different scale patterns and cargo volume.
Fifth: Customer group disputes
Network Express has obvious advantages in customer groups, and can basically meet the different needs of target customers, thus serving the production and sales enterprises as a whole.
Private line logistics is basically only one or several lines serving customers. The whole network of service-oriented private line logistics basically relies on outsourcing or similar to the small tripartite approach, through the third party to carry out transit cooperation to complete customer transport services.
Sixth: The Debate of Customer Experience
Express network has perfect standards and processes, relative customer experience is higher, the service consciousness of special line logistics enterprises comes from their own inner service, customer experience is often higher, for no other reason, because the customers of special line enterprises are the basis of their survival, as long as they are within the profit range, special line enterprises can meet their requirements, especially some grey transactions are more flexible. Changeable.
Faced with the changeable market environment and the enclosure of all kinds of capital-intensive express transportation, how to upgrade and survive in the development of dedicated line logistics is indeed a reflection of the comprehensive capabilities of the enterprises. The learners are also actively flocking to logistics related forums, logistics exchange meetings and participating in various kinds of logistics platform investment and franchise meetings.
To tell you the truth, more participants and more knowledgeable, instead of knowing how to do it, or blindly imitate the practices of others, the results are very little, and finally the grass-roots end, and back to the original appearance.
Private line upgrade
The author feels that it is necessary to do the following choices to upgrade the special line enterprises
1. Adhere to self-characteristics, special line logistics avoids using other people's so-called experience to improve themselves. Others'business is suitable for others and summarized. Their congenital business environment and inertial thinking are not suitable for their own development genes. The experience of others can only be assimilated and summed up to suit themselves. Don't play it by ear.
2. Base plate should be stable. Special line logistics has its own routes and customers as its basic plate. No matter what the boss thinks, don't easily move their income security and survival security. Maintaining the steady growth of the original business and lines is the premise of trying other ways. If you can't even maintain your own basic disk, other attempts may eventually be doomed to extinction.
3. Opening and sharing, whether joining or joint venture, or even establishing a third-party company to operate together, it is very important to stick to the attitude of open and sharing, which is limited by how much income one invests, and often goes against one's wishes in the end.
4. Technological input keeps up. At present, the stability of special line logistics enterprises is the guarantee of everything. It pays more attention to the use of its new technology and software, which is of great importance to the future of logistics enterprises. Others are intellectualized and informationized, and labor costs have been reduced by several people, and they can only be eliminated in the end.
5. Service and quality, no matter how to upgrade and transform the special line enterprises, their basic service and quality are the most important. Price marketing is a big killer. It is very tempting in a certain period of time. At that time, the improvement of service quality has become a common requirement of customer experience. Anyway, they all pay for their own services. Why not find someone who is not happy to serve themselves?
6. Considering and choosing, the franchise platform has basically become a trend, regardless of propaganda and momentum, to see what substantive assistance the other side provides. Otherwise, it will become one of the other's sources of income. For example: in addition to the delivery of a wide range of franchise fees, line fees, system fees and various disorderly.
