The Guangzhou-Jiangxi freight dedicated line is in In the development process, the characteristics of third-party logistics are becoming more and more obvious. 1. Contract-oriented logistics services Third-party logistics companies can manage the entire logistics process or can choose several logistics service items, such as order management, inventory management, freight negotiation, carrier selection, etc. The traditional outsourcing is limited to one or several scattered logistics functions, such as transportation companies providing transportation services and warehousing companies providing warehousing services. In addition, when industrial and commercial enterprises choose third-party logistics services, they generally have to sign a special contract, stipulating service items and goals, and include certain penalties. Some companies have also formulated some incentive clauses. 2. The motivation of logistics service companies with new customer relationships to choose third-party logistics services is to reduce costs, improve core competitiveness, and find value-added services. The ways for various companies to cooperate with third-party logistics companies include overall outsourcing logistics business and hiring logistics companies. To manage and operate the company's own logistics assets and equipment and other forms. Although the forms are different, in essence, for the common strategic goal, the two parties jointly develop logistics solutions under the conditions of information sharing, and their business deeply touches the customer's enterprise sales plan, inventory management, ordering plan, production plan, etc. The entire production and operation process goes far beyond the general sales and purchase relationship with customers, but is closely integrated into one, forming a strategic partnership. 3. Personalized logistics services are completely different due to the enterprise nature, product characteristics, business processes, and market conditions of the third-party logistics service demand side.
