The Digitization of Global Logistics
According to news on April 12, AliExpress's semi-managed service has been online for 100 days, and the latest report card has been released: last month alone, orders from 20,000 merchants doubled. At the beginning of the new year in 2024, AliExpress took the lead in firing the starting gun of semi-managed services, helping merchants upgrade logistics services at a lower cost, and opening the door to small and medium-sized sellers and brand merchants with a wide range of categories. Now, AliExpress itself is constantly increasing investment, preparing for the "Ten Billion Subsidy Brands Going Global" plan, etc., so that more merchants can benefit.
In the logistics and transportation industry, the popularity of the semi-managed model means that companies can outsource part of their business to third-party logistics service providers while still retaining control and flexibility over their core business. This model can help companies reduce operating costs, improve efficiency, and focus on their core competitiveness. It is a development trend in the logistics industry.
In this case, our logistics and transportation software needs to have strong integration capabilities. Full-featured logistics and transportation software need to have the following functional requirements:
Multimodal transportation: It can support multiple transportation modes, such as sea, air, and railway, to meet the cross-border transportation needs of different goods. The core of this function is the visualization of multimodal transportation, which helps users better manage the transportation process of orders by presenting a clear visual interface in the system.

Real-time tracking and monitoring: Provide real-time cargo tracking and monitoring functions, allowing users to check the location, transportation status, and estimated arrival time of the cargo at any time.
Multiple package transportation: This is a logistics method that combines multiple packages or orders and ships them in one order. It is often used to optimize logistics efficiency, reduce transportation costs, and improve the overall efficiency of transportation. Multiple orders can be grouped into one multi-package shipment for better tracking and management of the entire shipping process.
Integrated revenue center: The cost center and revenue center are mainly to enrich the dimensions of small package billing and accounting. In order to improve the efficiency of integrators and enrich the accuracy and convenience of financial control.
