What is the difference between a logistics company and a third party logistics company?

Two are the same. Third-party logistics.

It refers to a professional logistics and distribution company. Since it is not a subordinate logistics company of the supplier and the seller, it is called third-party logistics.

Enterprise logistics is limited to the internal needs of the enterprise, and only contacts the supplier or demander. It is mainly to optimize and integrate the resources within the enterprise and the supply (demand) side.

Third-party logistics is to extract the logistics management work that originally belonged to the enterprise from the enterprise management and be completed by a third party. Third-party logistics is facing a larger ** chain, which needs to optimize and integrate the resources of all suppliers (demanders) and its own resources.

Contact is to achieve the company's phased purpose with the transfer of goods.

1. Difference 1Enterprise self-operated logistics is a department or subsidiary set up by the company itself. Its control is on the side of the enterprise.

2.Outbound shopping flow refers to some materials or instruments needed in the production process, resulting in travel expenses in the middle. Rental fees and so on. It mostly refers to some logistics and transportation provided by ** merchants generated by small-scale shopping.

3.Third-party logistics is simple. That is, we are talking about a variety of express freight companies to undertake the company's orders. That is, it is a kind of transportation logistics mode with a relatively long distance.

Second, the characteristics of third-party logistics enterprises:

1.Contractualization of relationships.

2.Personalization of service.

3.Functional specialization.

4.Manage the system.

5.Information networking.

To put it simply, this logistics enterprise is not the shipper of the goods (the first party), nor the receiver of the goods (the second party), but a professional logistics company (third party), and many of the original logistics enterprises in China are not standardized, often built by large enterprises"The main business of the transport fleet is also the company's products".Small and medium-sized logistics enterprises, just in terms of their size, have nothing to do with their specialization.

The traditional form of external entrustment is only a part of the logistics activities of the enterprise, mainly logistics operation activities, such as cargo transportation and cargo storage to external logistics enterprises, and logistics management activities such as inventory management and logistics system training and some enterprises.

Logistics activities in the industry remain in the company.

Logistics enterprises are standing in the perspective of their own logistics business operations, accepting the business entrustment of the shipper's enterprise, pricing in the form of cost plus profit, and charging service fees. The logistics enterprises that provide system services are also based on the premise of using the logistics facilities of the enterprise and promoting the business of the enterprise, rather than designing the logistics system for the purpose of rationalizing the logistics of the shipper's enterprise.

The third-party logistics enterprise is from the position of the shipper, and the logistics rationalization of the shipper's enterprise is the goal of designing the operation of the logistics system. Moreover, third-party logistics enterprises do not necessarily have logistics operation capabilities, that is to say, they can not have logistics facilities and means of transportation, and do not directly engage in transportation, storage and other operational activities, but are only responsible for the design of the logistics system and take responsibility for the operation of the logistics system.

Specific operation activities can be completed by professional transportation and warehouse enterprises in the form of external entrustment. Moreover, from the perspective of the United States, even if the third-party logistics company maintains logistics facilities, it is to control the proportion of the company's facilities at about 20% to ensure that the most suitable logistics services are provided to the shipper. The operating efficiency of the third-party logistics enterprise is directly related to the logistics efficiency, logistics service level and logistics effect of the shipper's enterprise.

One Party A, one Party B.

Some enterprises outsource the internal logistics of non-core business, and third-party logistics is to undertake these businesses.

Tripartite logistics is the express company, and enterprise logistics is the logistics team formed by its own company.

The concept of logistics was first formed in the United States, originating in the 30s of the 20th century, and originally meant "physical distribution" or "distribution of goods". It was introduced to Japan in 1963 and means "the circulation of things" in Japanese. After the 70s of the 20th century, the term "logistics" in Japan gradually replaced "the distribution of goods".

China's logistics terminology standard defines logistics as: logistics is the process of transportation, storage, loading and unloading, packaging, circulation processing, distribution, information processing and other functions organically combined to achieve user requirements in the process of physical flow of goods from the first place to the receiving place according to actual needs.

A third-party logistics enterprise refers to an external ** business that provides all or part of the logistics services for the company. The logistics services provided by the third-party logistics enterprises generally include transportation, warehousing management, distribution, etc. In this process, the third-party logistics enterprise is not the producer, and not the seller, but the third party who serves in the entire logistics process from production to sales, which generally does not own the goods, but only provides customers with warehousing, distribution and other logistics services.

The advantages of third-party logistics companies are:

1. It can enable enterprises to concentrate on the business they are familiar with and allocate resources to the core business;

2. New technologies can be flexibly used to realize the exchange of inventory and reduce costs;
