High-speed growth-driven express industry is gradually facing qualitative change

Reporter found that in successive years of rapid growth at the same time, the domestic express industry is undergoing a change from the volume of the profound changes in quality. First, the level of information is obviously upgraded. Rhyme Tatsu Express Senior Vice President Zhoubergen introduced, starting from the second half of last year, Yun Tatsu in the whole network to promote handheld electronic terminals, has increased more than 40,000, to the end of the year will achieve "per capita", so as to realize the express information real-time input, tracking, automatic sorting, the average time to increase the It is understood that "three-way one Tatsu" and other major express companies in recent years or with IBM and other enterprises, or independent research and development, so that the level of information delivery network has a qualitative leap.

Second, express the pace of aviation further accelerated. This year, Yuantong Express to part of the line opened full cargo aircraft operation, currently has 5 Boeing 737 models of capacity, to achieve the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area between the express time, the next day up. Yuantong will use the whole cargo aircraft main east, South China, north China between the domestic express market, to help preempt high-end, long-distance express business.

Through the franchise system to achieve the national layout, express delivery enterprises are turning to direct business, restructuring management and management model. Raymesson said that since 2010, in the stock ownership restructuring, will be the distribution center of the direct operation, "the current total network 93% of the Express share in our own hands, turn, transport two links are their own control."

Li Huide, director of Shanghai Postal Administration, believes that domestic express companies have shifted from labor-intensive enterprises to labor, capital and technology-intensive enterprises.

Hot quotes promote the transformation and upgrade of express industry

"Singles Day" cake, not everyone can share. When some express enterprises leap-forward development at the same time, the Star-Cheng, CCEs and other well-known express delivery enterprises are experiencing outage or even bankruptcy, regional express companies are frequently out. Industry insiders believe that the express industry "polarization" more and more obvious, the market shuffle will be significantly accelerated.

A reality is: electric business promotion brought about by the hot, and can not conceal the Chinese express industry's own soft rib, both land, artificial and other high cost, management, such as the extensive "internal", there are UPS, FedEx and other foreign giants to speed up China's layout, such as "aggression."

Reporters found that a number of express business leaders in the grasp of opportunities at the same time, but also sober to see the challenges. Shentong Express Vice President Liu Rongkun that in the future, there are at least two major difficulties to solve the express industry: one is the market environment more and more standardized, corporate profits are getting lower, and second, from front-line staff to good managers are facing shortages, and "currently left to the enterprise time is not much." Yuantong Courier Chairman Yuweijiao that: "The next 35 years is the development of China's express industry, the key period, the enterprise or a step, or be squeezed out of the bureau." ”

The opportunity and the crisis coexist, the express industry difference competition pattern is increasingly obvious. For example, EMS, such as more pay attention to the aging parts, Low-cost Express Market, Shentong, etc. began to expand the file, valuables, samples and other high-end business, there are express companies also cross-border into the field of e-commerce, there are enterprises are deep in the "Homeland."

Industry insiders called for the Government should be in transition and upgrade the key period of the express industry to support. Recently, Shanghai issued 13 policy measures to support the development of the express industry, such as the creation of conditions to support the headquarters in Shanghai Express Enterprise as a whole listing, express enterprises to expand the use of land to support, government procurement to meet the conditions of the express enterprises open, etc., with high gold content. This approach is worthy of reference.
