A Brief Discussion on the Mainstream Development Model of Dedicated Line Logistics Companies

What are the mainstream development models of specialized logistics companies now? What are the advantages compared to traditional dedicated line development? In this era of continuous growth and repeated impact on the logistics market, the development model of dedicated logistics is no longer monotonous and ordinary. With the continuous growth and repeated impact of the logistics market, the influx of international import and export, international freight forwarding and other businesses is strongly impacting the development track of traditional dedicated logistics, and more and more dedicated enterprises are running away. Let's take a brief look at the mainstream development models of specialized logistics companies.

1. Most Stable: Dedicated Line Alliance Mode

The establishment of a dedicated line alliance aims to integrate dedicated line resources, organize dedicated line enterprises together, form strong alliances, seek common development, establish a standardized system for dedicated line logistics services, enhance the profitability and comprehensive competitiveness of each enterprise, and obtain strong support and motivation for sustainable development.

The alliance model effectively distinguishes the alliance's dedicated lines from the scattered soldiers in society through good dedicated line alliances, forming a certain degree of differentiated advantages, expanding sources of goods, reducing costs, and resisting risks. There are generally two types: one is the franchise model with the alliance leader enterprise as the core; The second is the complementary pattern of resources between different regions, also known as the regional complementary pattern. The franchise model is generally an alliance between the parent company and the franchise subsidiaries; The regional complementarity model is an alliance between enterprises in different regions, with the aim of expanding their network coverage and further consolidating their advantages in the region through the alliance.

2. Most Scientific: Platform based Integration Model

With the development of the Internet, the platform integration model has become a new integration model. By using an intelligent online trading platform based on big data and innovative products, an industry online ecosystem based on logistics product transactions is built for both parties. The traditional mode of dedicated logistics transportation vehicle allocation is integrated with dedicated lines, including transfer, distribution, and re transfer. This process realizes the overall application of the logistics information platform, and better adapts and integrates more qualified freight vehicle sources. Through the smooth transition and pre matching of the large platform, the utilization rate of dedicated logistics vehicles is improved, and the timeliness of the entire dedicated transportation is enhanced.

By joining the platform, the dedicated logistics company strengthens the integration and reconstruction of the operation team and the integration of information systems. Through the integration of delivery resources in the same region, it completes the last mile service system combination in the province, providing customers with a one-stop logistics product trading and service platform for online transactions and offline interactions. The platform integration mode of the dedicated line company has successfully fully utilized information technology, which is conducive to reducing the number of empty lines, promoting the information management of business processes, and effectively improving the dilemma of balancing price and benefits in dedicated line logistics.

3. The most flexible: multimodal dedicated transportation mode

The multimodal special line transportation mode refers to a specialized logistics mode that uses multiple transportation modes to jointly complete transportation requirements, greatly improving the efficiency of cargo transfer, achieving seamless connection of transportation organization, and leveraging the advantages of different transportation modes to improve transportation efficiency and reduce social logistics costs. The main forms of intermodal transportation include: public rail intermodal transportation, sea rail intermodal transportation, sea truck intermodal transportation, sea land intermodal transportation, etc.

Taking "sea rail intermodal transportation" as an example, sea rail intermodal transportation not only compresses freight expenses, shortens freight time, increases competitiveness in the international freight market, achieves door-to-door transportation of goods, but also reduces the pressure of a single transportation method and improves transportation efficiency. Previously, many containers were transported to ports by road, which inevitably increased the pressure of road transportation and made traffic congestion a norm, causing inconvenience to people's travel. Automobile transportation and shipping are also quite complicated, with more complicated procedures such as loading and unloading, customs declaration, etc., causing dissatisfaction among shippers.

4. Most common: Freight forwarding mode

This is the largest group of enterprises in the logistics industry, ranging from large third-party logistics to small distribution stations. Some of them transport goods nationwide, while others can even operate intermodal transportation through sea, land, and air agents. The core values of freight forwarding are twofold: one is transportation service procurement, and the other is order processing and customer service. Therefore, freight forwarders need to build three brushes: sales channels, customer service system, and resource channels.

5. Most direct: Establishing a large fleet model

A dedicated line company for building a fleet refers to a company that can provide at least vehicles and drivers to meet customers' fixed or random needs, and some can also provide project supporting transportation services. To run a fleet, at least one of the following three abilities is required: firstly, financing and fleet technical/personnel management skills; The second is the ability to quickly switch between supporting projects and assess the situation of the segmented market where the project is located; The third is the capacity for social vehicle allocation and support.

In addition, dedicated logistics can also try to establish more development models such as "mainline", "third-party+dedicated line comprehensive model", "network construction", and "extended landing distribution". In short, the development of dedicated lines requires innovative integration models, the establishment of platform alliances, and joint development through cooperation.
