It can be seen that the cross-border e-commerce supply chain, a cross-border flight, is already crowded with merchants of all kinds. Everyone has entered the reshuffle period from short-term policy arbitrage, and still strives to seize more nodes and achieve omni-channel layout. When it comes to the import supply chain, there is no doubt that overseas retail such as Walart, Metro, and Laox are still the leaders. Brands must also give up three points and return to the discussion of the cross-border import pattern. There should be more imagination here; and foreign countries have agency rights. As an intermediary with trade volume, Shenlong is the target of cross-border e-commerce. As for the authorization of famous brands, currently “standard products are not standard, mainstream products are not mainstream”, and there are still a large number of overseas supply brands waiting to be explored.
In addition, as subsidies, inventory, logistics and operating costs rise, for import cross-border platforms, the test is the ability to control the supply chain. Large platforms can dominate the entire chain, while small and medium-sized B2C Enterprises do not have the ability to establish their own supply chain systems, which tests their ability to find partners.
The world of supply chain is also turbulent. First, it has multiple sectors, providing full supply chain services, providing overseas multi-product, multi-country, multi-warehouse, and multi-port ports, covering import logistics, distribution, and supply chain finance. For example, 4PX Transshipment, Zhuozhi, UEQ, Weishi Peiyun, etc. have expanded from cross-border logistics, bonded warehouse and port customs clearance solutions to supply distribution.
The second is more vertical segmentation. If you can’t do too much, you have to be strong. We have been working intensively in certain areas for many years, and we have good cooperation with brand owners or multiple supply channels. For example, Princess Jia focuses on imported food, and Princess and Pea focuses on Japan. Commodity supply chain, as well as some Korean products, Australian special lines, etc. The third is to act as an agent for brands. While providing purchasing and sales services such as overseas procurement and international freight, it also acts as an agent for some sub-line brands, providing distribution or drop-shipping services to domestic small e-commerce and micro-businesses, or directly providing imported online retail.
