At 0:00 a.m. on November 1, this year's Double Eleven atmosphere was instantly full, and many people with the final payment stayed up until 12:30 to pay the final payment to fall asleep, and the next morning "what woke me up was not the alarm clock, it was the express delivery."
This year's express delivery speed really surprised netizens, so that they began to doubt: is the express delivery ambushed in advance? Could it be the goods sent to me by my neighbors?
Without the waiting for qiushui after placing an order in the past, some netizens even felt a little helpless: in the middle of the night, it was impulsive consumption, and after calm thinking, I wanted to have a chance to regret it.
In any case, although the wallet is very injured, the delivery speed of lightning still brings unexpected surprises to netizens, which can be regarded as the first success of e-commerce logistics at the end of the year's e-commerce shopping season!
Netizens must be curious, how does express delivery achieve such efficient delivery? The following is to reveal for everyone what merchants and courier companies have done in order not to give you the opportunity to repent.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > pre-sale + front warehouse: the courier has been "ambushed" in advance</h1>
Remember when you paid your deposit? This year, Tmall and JD.com both opened deposit payments on October 20.
From October 20th to November 1st, 11 days is enough time for merchants and logistics to do a lot of things. With ordering data, merchants can precisely control inventory, add or adjust factory capacity. In terms of logistics, it is even more possible to adjust the reserves and transfers of warehouses in various places according to the order situation. That is to say, the merchant obtains the order information in advance through the form of pre-sale, and can pre-deliver the goods to the outlets closer to the consumer before the customer pays the final payment, effectively reducing the transportation pressure during the order outbreak period, improving the delivery speed, and allowing users to obtain the ultimate shopping experience.
Like JD Logistics, through system algorithms, supply chain planning and multi-level inventory pre-positioning, it continues to increase in the pre-sale pre-position field. It is estimated that on November 1, consumers in 30 provinces and more than 200 cities across the country will have the opportunity to experience minute-level receipts as long as they buy pre-sale goods on the Jingdong platform.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > intelligent sorting equipment: blowing up is a thing of the past</h1>
In order to meet the needs of distribution and improve logistics efficiency, great progress has been made in smart logistics in recent years, such as AGV, AMR and other robots that act on handling and sorting have been put into operation.
In the face of the e-commerce peak season at the end of the year, the current logistics people are no longer as big enemies as before. For example, the person in charge of a network in Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province, Zhongtong Province, is very calm, and the local area is a typical "grain production area": more shipments and fewer deliveries. It is expected that from November 1 to 3, the outlets will usher in the peak of receipts, and the order volume on the day of "Double 11" is expected to exceed one million. The person in charge said: "Although the data is large, we have long been fully prepared. In order to cope with the peak of "Double 11" receiving, the site, vehicles, and automated sorting equipment of the outlet have been fully upgraded, and in addition to more than 70 fixed recipients, more than 20 temporary workers are also ready. There was a sense of planning between the conversations.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > unmanned delivery/smart cabinet: wake up with surprises</h1>
Based on the Internet of Things, the intelligent express cabinet can identify, temporarily store, monitor and manage items (express mail). The intelligent express cabinet was initially put into use to solve the distribution problem of the "last 100 meters" of the industrial chain of the express delivery industry. Since the express cabinet entered the end market, it has been recognized by a large number of consumers with its advantages of flexibility, safety and convenience.
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles, distribution robots and other equipment in terminal logistics has also added scientific and technological color to logistics. On Double Eleven last year, Alibaba's logistics robot "Little Wild Donkey" drove into the campus, and within 11 days, completed the delivery of 30,000 parcels on campus, covering 27 buildings on campus, saving nearly 10,000 hours of pickup time. Internet giants such as JD.com, Suning, and Meituan have also launched their own delivery robots.
Nowadays, e-commerce logistics has become more and more mature, which makes people feel the rapid development of the express logistics industry. This has to mention the credit of modern science and technology such as intelligent hardware, logistics informatization, big data, cloud computing, etc. In the future, information-based logistics technology will surely bring us more surprises and progress.
