Building a global logistics network

Optimize domestic logistics hubs: Increase investment and upgrade logistics infrastructure such as important ports, airports, and railway hubs in China, improve cargo handling capacity and transportation efficiency, and make them key nodes connecting domestic and international logistics networks. For example, Shanghai Port has become one of the world's important logistics hubs by continuously upgrading its port facilities and improving the efficiency of container loading and unloading.

Strengthen overseas layout: Improve the global logistics service network by establishing branch offices, logistics centers, overseas warehouses, and other means overseas. Taking JD.com as an example, it has established multiple overseas warehouses in Europe, Southeast Asia, and other regions, effectively reducing delivery time and improving customer satisfaction.

Expand air routes and transportation routes: Increase international air routes and railway/road transportation routes to improve the coverage of logistics services. For example, the continuous operation of the China Europe freight train has provided a more convenient channel for logistics transportation between China and Europe.

Enhance the level of logistics technology and informatization

Applying advanced logistics technology: actively introducing advanced technologies such as automated warehousing equipment, intelligent sorting systems, and unmanned vehicles to improve logistics operation efficiency and accuracy. SF Express has adopted automated sorting systems in some warehouses, greatly improving sorting efficiency and reducing error rates.

Establish an information management system: Using technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things, establish a globally unified logistics information management platform to achieve real-time tracking of goods, intelligent scheduling, inventory management, and other functions. DHL and other international logistics giants use their advanced information management systems to allow customers to check the transportation status of their goods anytime, anywhere.

Promote data sharing and collaboration: achieve logistics data sharing with global partners, strengthen collaborative cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain, and improve the transparency and efficiency of logistics operations. For example, some cross-border e-commerce platforms and logistics companies have achieved real-time synchronization of orders and logistics information through data sharing, optimizing the logistics delivery process.

Cultivate international logistics talents

Strengthen professional education: Set up international logistics related majors in universities and vocational colleges, focusing on cultivating students' international logistics business knowledge, foreign language skills, cross-cultural communication skills, etc. Universities such as Shanghai Maritime University have offered courses in international logistics, cultivating a large number of professional talents for the industry.

Carry out training and certification: Enterprises regularly organize employees to participate in international logistics training courses and certification exams, such as international logistics certification, to enhance employees' professional quality and business capabilities.

Introducing Overseas Talents: Attracting overseas talents with international logistics experience and professional skills to join, bringing advanced management concepts and operational models to the enterprise. Some domestic logistics companies have attracted a group of overseas logistics talents by introducing foreign investment or cooperating with foreign-funded enterprises.

Strengthening international cooperation and alliances

Collaboration with international logistics companies: Establish strategic partnerships with well-known foreign logistics companies, complement each other's strengths, and jointly expand the international market. For example, Sinotrans has partnered with Deutsche Post DHL Group to enhance its internationalization level by leveraging DHL's global network and operational experience.
