With the explosive growth of e-commerce in recent years, logistics in various countries has followed closely. The development of e-commerce is inseparable from logistics. Logistics is the biggest contributor to the completion of e-commerce trade.
Southeast Asia still has huge development potential and opportunities in e-commerce. With the change of payment methods and the diversification of consumer behavior, the competition between logistics is also becoming increasingly obvious.
While an e-commerce trade is going smoothly, it is particularly important to choose a kind of logistics. How to choose it?
Fast and guaranteed timeliness. As long as a logistics company can accurately grasp the timeliness, it will be half successful. This is the most basic requirement for a logistics company. Delivery on time and ensuring that buyers can receive the goods in time are what both e-commerce buyers and sellers are happy about, and it is also very helpful for future cooperation and development.
High integrity and clear pricing can avoid some additional hidden costs during transportation. Whether it is large or small items, it is necessary for both buyers and sellers to negotiate the price in advance, and even the contract must be clear. Domestic logistics and cross-border logistics should be treated equally. A logistics company with high cost performance will have a smooth path to survival and development.
In addition, how long has a logistics company been established and whether it is experienced, which may avoid many small mistakes in the middle, reduce risks, and help improve efficiency. If you really encounter any problems, can you propose effective improvement measures? These are the most basic conditions to test whether a logistics company is qualified.
Of course, there are pain points in the development of Southeast Asian e-commerce logistics, especially cross-border e-commerce logistics.
Customs regulations are complicated and inefficient, and the development of hardware infrastructure cannot keep up with the development of e-commerce logistics, resulting in many prominent contradictions. Another thing is that packages are difficult to track. Many back-end technology companies still use old-fashioned communication methods, such as emails and telephones, to handle the details of the logistics distribution process. Obviously, this can no longer meet the development of Southeast Asian e-commerce logistics. Southeast Asian e-commerce logistics also lacks proficient application of logistics warehouse management systems, and urgently needs to create a complete logistics network system to help merchants manage Southeast Asian logistics routes in one stop. Of course, the development of logistics is also inseparable from the change of local payment methods.
Overall, there are still many thorns on the road of development of Southeast Asian e-commerce logistics, whether domestically or internationally. Judging from the currently developed logistics, the future prospects are still good. There is still a large market to be developed and many problems to be solved. Of course, other hardware and software systems should also develop together, so as to jointly improve and enhance the overall level of Southeast Asian e-commerce logistics.
