To some extent, since the first announcement of the opening of logistics in late 2006, the opening up of Jingdong Logistics is increasing.Jingdong Group Logistics Vice President, Head of Logistics Planning and Development Department of Jingdong Mall Fu Bing told reporters in the 21st Century Business Herald that Jingdong Logistics Order outside the mall to undertake a 'share of already occupy a considerable proportion' is expected to exceed the next three to five years, self-employed business.
Open-minded, Jingdong, which used to focus on self-used logistics in the past, has been energized by the outside world, but there is another 'enabler' in the industry - the rookie logistics. It has been more than three years since the rookie was developed. Since its establishment, we have been a partner in the enabling industries. "A rookie spoke frankly to 21st Century Business Herald.
'Jingdong logistics Jingdong Mall brand based on service providers and large enterprises, do not rely on the scale of winning, winning by the brand and value; rookie network is based on the service on the Lynx Taobao a large number of SMEs, but also brand, but the scale of victory and cluster synergy More. "Yang Duqing, a researcher with China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, a procurement and supply chain expert member of China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, told the 21st Century Economic Reporter that 'there are different paths and thus different paths.'
Technology upgrade
In addition to the redefinition of logistics as a result of remodeling of freight yards, there is also a big leap forward in the logistics industry that is triggered by such technological breakthroughs as robotics, cloud services, big data and artificial intelligence. Emphasize to 21st Century Business Herald.
Rookie president Wan Lin said in a speech at the "2017 Annual Meeting of Chinese Business Leaders" on Dec. 10 that rookies are accelerating data convergence, such as global intelligence, hyperbolic robots, end-delivery robots, and full-link automation such as fully automated assembly line , And on this basis to consumers, businesses provide new retail solutions.
Behind the technical input, contains the imagination to transform logistics 21st Century Business Herald reporter combed since October 2016 so far in the United Internet Jingdong China e-commerce logistics index found that in October of this year last year, China's electricity supplier courier inventory The turnover rate increased significantly by 52.7 points, the improvement rate reached 40%, and the delivery time limitation also increased by 6.4 points, an increase of 5.36%.
As the "labor-intensive" industry that has long been criticized, the logistics industry may change to a technology-intensive industry in the future.Wu Hequan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chairman of China Internet Society, pointed out that the digital transformation of logistics will bring great value to industry and society The existing mature logistics experience has reduced warehouse operators by 70%.
However, from the current situation, the impact of technology on the size of logistic workers can hardly be immediate, and despite all the technological transformations being stepped up, according to the China E-commerce Logistics Index, the logistic scale index for October 2016 was 121.4 , Below any one-month level in 2017.
'One of the biggest reasons is the change in consumption and industry, resulting in the surge in the scale of the logistics industry, the cake becomes larger, which attracted a large number of practitioners.' Wang Zhenhui 21st Century Business Herald reporter explained that he also stressed that the short term Humane and intelligent applications, will not have a qualitative change in the size of Jingdong logistics staff, 'Jingdong logistics outside the single-income growth reached three digits, large incremental need more staff in the next 35 years will reach the peak number Before it will fall.
As the unmanned facility in the warehouse replaces the artificial facilities by a large area, the cost of JD logistics will decrease. "Fu Bing emphasized to 21st Century Business Herald reporter: 'This is mainly reflected in the drop in personnel costs.'
Data show that Jingdong distribution staff up to 70,000 people.This also means that courier staff constitute a major cost of logistics Jingdong also Jingdong logistics 'heavy model' is reflected in. In contrast, the rookie is even more relaxed 'The rookie has been established for more than three years, but with more than 2,000 employees, more than half of whom are technicians.' The rookie told 21st Century Business Herald. 'We do not have a courier.'
In fact, rookie since its inception positioning is platform, the various aspects of e-commerce logistics enterprises into its logistics and warehousing platform and logistics information platform, and then to big data as a support, regulation and storage, distribution and other sectors, many parties Improve logistics efficiency. 'We will provide courier companies, including electronic signings, smart sub-single data products to help them improve their efficiency, but also provide storage operations management technology, and provide data distribution line support,' Rookie pointed out.
This means that, in addition to the trunk transport and end distribution, the rookie almost all the work of the logistics company. 'In fact, rookie is also an enabler, with a large data-enabled logistics enterprises, reduce logistics costs and improve distribution efficiency And service experience. "Tan Xia, deputy director of Internet Economics at the CCID think tank, commented to 21st Century Business Herald.
Jingdong logistics empowerment is different.By self-built warehousing logistics system, and in the country to achieve a unified operation and management standards, Jingdong logistics more emphasis on operational quality and delivery efficiency. 'For the future of intelligent logistics capacity building , Jingdong own logistics supply chain will have full control of the more advantages, so Jingdong must be in the future intelligent logistics front giants, including warehousing, distribution, information processing, etc. 'Tan Xia believes that' once Jingdong logistics open to the public, for Attracting small and medium-sized logistics companies is also very huge. '

Xiao Neihua, vice president of supply chain Netease told 21st Century Business Herald reporter, 'Jingdong Logistics The sense of quality and reputation in the industry close to SF, and Jingdong team ability to quickly adapt to our needs.
However, another practitioner questioned the empowerment of Jingdong Logistics.'I am curious how they can endow the partners.In theory, there is a certain competitive relationship between Jingdong Logistics and other logistics companies, Jingdong can not be both a judge A member is an athlete.
In addition, the heavy model also brings Jingdong logistics cost burden. 'One of the shortcomings of Jingdong logistics is the ability to integrate social capital is too weak, all by the Jingdong own investment.' 'Former Tencent, Jingdong strategist Li Chengdong said' rookie logistics As early as 2016 to complete the financing Jingdong funding should be more invested in technology and supply chain, rather than logistics.
However, it seems the industry view, regardless of whether the Jingdong or rookie mode, in the big data will actively establish a super cistern, the formation of a super-supercenter brain, affect the ecosystem business Yangda Qing 21st Century Business Herald reporter said, In this process, rookie need to establish an overall controllable ecological network, and thus promote the cluster synergy of SMEs, Jingdong need to build supply chain services and big data moat.
