10 years ago, the freight platform industry was in the early stage of rapid development, and at that time, the information platform of the logistics park was zero and total, including Lin'an, Chuanhua, Tiandihui, Satisfactory Tongda, Dolphin, Yidiantong, Qianlong and so on. Of course, there are many platforms that have gradually become iconic enterprises in the industry. For example, the transport is full, the truck helps...
In 2011, the mobile Internet promoted the development of freight apps
At the end of December 2011, the number of mainland Internet users exceeded 500 million, reaching 513 million (including more than 350 million mobile Internet users). Mobile Internet has become a "hot spot".
In 2012, Didi taxi is still a taxi service based on the WeChat public account, in the same year, there is a fast taxi platform, after 3 years of fierce market fighting, the market is gradually cultivated, in February 2015, Didi and Kuai's formal merger, become a giant of the travel platform, affected by Didi, Didi freight version came into being, to create the logistics industry "Didi travel", Luo Ji with the golden key was established, in December 2014, Luo Ji logistics two APP was officially launched, respectively, for the owner and the owner of the car launched" Luo Ji looking for a car" and "Luo Ji looking for goods". With the help of mobile Internet, cargo owners and car owners can achieve efficient matching and docking, similar to the "taxi software" in the freight industry.
Truck Gang: In 2008, Dai Wenjian founded Beijing Shanen Yunmeng Technology Co., Ltd. to develop "Logistics QQ", which plans to help shippers and drivers match transportation capacity and build a social "public transportation capacity pool". Dai Wenjian's original idea was to manage truck drivers to match the relevant sources. To this end, he gave away 20,000 GPS (satellite positioning system) for free in order to integrate driver resources. However, the 20,000 self-employed gift terminals were all wiped out, almost all of them could not be recycled, and the driver's willingness to share the capacity was not strong, and more than 20 million yuan was lost, and the career fell into a trough.
In 2014, through the early gathering of 56QQ of the national freight information scalper QQ group, the founders Dai Wenjian, Tang Tianguang and Liu Xianfu began to build their own freight platform transfer end truck gang. Founded in Chengdu, relying on the natural conditions of Chengdu Chuanhua Highway Port, it quickly ran out of the online vehicle and cargo matching mode, and then settled in the logistics park in the way of selling tachographs in logistics parks across the country to promote comprehensive extravagance.
Dai Wenjian's business promotion inevitably touches the interests of the local supply network, so the truck gang often faces a struggle every time it enters a city, and it is common for cars to be smashed and cut off from the network, and even have to deal with local outlaws.
Full of Shipments: At that time, a large number of supplies were concentrated in the hands of intermediaries, scalpers and brokers. Drivers and cargo owners often like to deal with these agents because they are locals, can bargain and have a long-term credit endorsement. So Zhang Hui directly hit the pain point and took out 50 million to establish a source intermediary and distribution center, and as a result, more than 400,000 sources of goods and owner information were introduced that month. The full push team is really powerful, the author used to run in the national logistics park, and in the middle of the night I saw the full push personnel standing on the pedal of the cart and climbing in the driver's window to install software for the driver's brother.
By 2017, Yunman had raised 1.57 billion yuan, with a valuation of more than 1 billion US dollars. According to the official website, by the end of 2016, the company registered 800,000 shippers and 3.5 million drivers, bringing together 90% of the country's cargo source information and 70% of heavy truck drivers. The Truck Gang has raised $115 million in funding and is valued at more than $1 billion. According to the official website, as of the end of July 2017, there were 880,000 registered member vehicles of the truck gang, 5 million pieces of supply information were released every day, 140,000 transactions were facilitated daily, and the daily transaction freight exceeded 1.7 billion. The truck gang started in the southwest market, and Yunman is sitting in East China and North China, but to build a national platform company, it is inevitable to touch each other's "base areas", and the two sides are also in this tug-of-war to grow their own strength in the "small friction". Until November 27, 2017, Wang Gang reconciled with the management to reach a merger to become today's Full Gang.
In 2013, Luge, which has been focusing on the integration of the transportation capacity resources of the tube car system, gathered a large number of drivers' information accounts through the tube car treasure, and began to transform from a SaaS product provider to a platform-based comprehensive solution provider, as well as a cardholder zone for the cardholder community. The entanglement of Lu Ge is that the position is too high and too complete, but it is an asset-light investment, the focus point is weak, and the whole chain factors that can be controlled are very limited. This is also the disadvantage that many platforms want to solve all the problems of customers through SaaS.
2014 is the period of a hundred flowers on the freight platform, a total of more than 300 freight apps on the market, each logistics park is full of various platforms of push personnel, drivers, information households, park owners, cargo owners, etc. are all the platforms of the fragrant buns, the platform is very sincere to pay out of pocket to engage in subsidies.
Didi Freight (formerly Didi Chuxing Expansion Business): Didi Freight was officially launched in 2020, but considering that Didi Chuxing itself was founded in 2012 and has already achieved great success in the field of mobility in 2014, it can be speculated that Didi may have begun to explore the possibilities in the freight field during this period, although the launch of the specific freight business was at a later stage.
JD Logistics: Although JD Logistics was originally established in 2007 as the internal logistics department of JD Group, around 2014, with the vigorous development of e-commerce, JD Logistics began to provide services to the outside world, and gradually built a comprehensive logistics system including warehousing, transportation and distribution, which also had an impact on the freight platform industry.
SF Express's innovative attempts such as SF Preferred and SF Heyke: As a giant in the traditional express delivery industry, SF Express also began to try cross-border integration around 2014, such as launching SF Preferred's involvement in fresh e-commerce distribution, and opening SF Heyke stores to explore the O2O model, which reflects SF's exploration in the direction of logistics and e-commerce integration.

In the past, logistics was an "opaque" business, with asymmetric information, and freight intermediaries had the absolute dominance of prices. The freight platforms that have survived and occupied a certain market share are all grasping the two major groups of freight intermediaries and drivers in the early stage, operating the early information hall model online, and then subdividing their respective areas of expertise after scale. On the other hand, in the future, platforms that have become industry giants, or have been listed, are also struggling to move forward on the road to profitability. So as practitioners in the logistics industry, we must not only "look up at the sky" but also "look down at the road", as a freight platform to truly bring value to the industry and enterprises.
