One. Instant Pick-up and Delivery with Time-Sensitive Services
This delivery service, which takes approximately 30 minutes to one hour, is defined as instant logistics, and it is experiencing an increasingly rapid development trend, with the capability to deliver goods within a "minute" timeframe now.
In fact, instant logistics is not unfamiliar to consumers, as it happens around us every day. According to the introduction, the initial volume of instant logistics business mainly came from the food delivery sector. As consumers' demand for delivery of other local life aspects grows, platforms like Meituan Delivery and Baidu Delivery have also started to expand their services from food delivery to areas such as fresh fruit and flowers.
Targeting customer needs, express companies like SF Express and YTO Express are also transforming and upgrading. Unlike regular express delivery, instant delivery requires completing high-frequency pick-up and delivery tasks within a shorter period and mostly uses a dedicated direct delivery model. In May 2017, YTO Express launched its instant delivery service, offering timely services within a 3-kilometer radius for shipping and receiving customers, with pick-up and delivery on the spot and a commitment to delivery within 2 hours, focusing on the fast parcel market.
The trend of integration between online and offline is a settled fact, and the future of the instant logistics industry looks promising. Recently, there has been a surge of activity in this field, with companies in the industry accelerating their layout, and some enterprises from other sectors are also venturing into this new territory.
In April, Alibaba officially acquired Ele.me, aligning with the Koubei food delivery platform and the Diandian Da logistics service provider, enhancing the competitiveness of local life service platforms; Meituan's food delivery logistics team independently offers services, committing to a 1-hour delivery for Hailan House; Didi Chuxing also launched its food delivery service... Various companies are building instant delivery logistics networks for the new retail system.
II. Localized Inventory Allocation; Warehouse and Distribution Integration Collaboration
Recently, Tmall Supermarket, in partnership with Cainiao, launched a "minute delivery" service for "online order, in-store shipment," enabling instant offline delivery through "Click and Deliver." JD Logistics has officially introduced its "Flash Delivery" time-sensitive product line, allowing delivery within minutes to several tens of minutes upon order placement based on address matching. How can merchants deliver goods as quickly as possible with efficiency, ensuring the items arrive to consumers in perfect condition? E-commerce innovation has brought new solutions for the "one-kilometer" delivery challenge.
"Under the new retail model, physical stores will further establish a supply and demand system within a 3-kilometer radius. Many orders will not need to be shipped from pure e-commerce warehouses but can be dispatched from the nearest physical stores, which will become crucial support points for future logistics distribution." Li Wang, the project leader of the Cai Niao Store Distribution, stated.
Cainiao dispatches goods from its 400 nationwide stores, offering consumers a "minute-level" delivery experience by bridging online and offline channels. Under this logistics model, after placing an order on Watsons' official Tmall flagship store, if the customer selects "scheduled delivery" or a specific delivery time slot, Cainiao's intelligent algorithm will push the order message to the nearest Watsons offline store to remind it to lock in inventory and prepare the package. Upon receiving the notification from Cainiao's system, Dianwooda will assign the nearest riders to pick up the goods from the store and complete the delivery.
Different from Cainiao, JD Logistics enhances the speed of instant delivery by deploying "front-end warehouses." When customers purchase items from JD Mall, JD Logistics can automatically identify the delivery address and match it with the nearest supply network warehouse for shipment. If customers choose items with the "Flash Delivery" shipping label, delivery can be arranged within minutes to several tens of minutes based on the address matching.
The report indicates that to support the "Flash Delivery" time-sensitive products, JD Logistics has initially connected with Dada's pre-positioned warehouses. Recently, JD Logistics has been progressively collaborating with nearly a hundred pre-positioned warehouses in key cities across China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Tianjin, and Hangzhou.
III. Data Forecasting Boosts New Retail Logistics Efficiency
Experts believe that due to frequent human movement, it is often unpredictable. Many consumers do not require delivery to their homes but instead to locations such as offices, dining restaurants, gym sports centers, or the trunks of private cars. The emergence of new scenarios necessitates that the logistics industry uses technology to optimize networks, providing personalized customized services based on the time and location provided by consumers.
Bao Yan introduces that in the context of instant logistics, the number of packages generated within an hour is increasing, and due to customers' ever-increasing demand for time, couriers can no longer rely on experience for delivery. A technical platform that optimizes routes and calculations in real-time, predicts delivery personnel, package quantities, delivery times, and customer needs has become crucial.
