Discussion on Shanghai Logistics Software Industry 2004-1-8 China Third Party Logistics Network
1 Status quo of logistics and logistics software at home and abroad
1.1 Logistic and logistics software logistics (Logistic) has no unified definition, and the definition of various logistics can be concluded: logistics is a flow storage activity from the source point to the final consumption point, specifically, including transportation , Storage, packaging, loading and unloading, handling, circulation processing, and information processing, from functionality can be divided into: supply logistics, generating logistics, sales logistics, recycled logistics and waste logistics five functions. Since the 1970s, computer technology began to be applied to the logistics field. With the development of logistics market and logistics information, the logistics software market will also be born, rapidly developed, and there have been a large number of logistics software suppliers and logistics software at home and abroad. The maximum characteristics and development of modern logistics is logistics information, and logistics software is the most important means of logistics informationization. Therefore, developing modern logistics must vigorously develop logistics software industry. Logistics information can be divided into three levels: basic information, process and daily operation optimization, information system as a Supply Chain management tool, and supply chain management (SCM) will be the development direction of logistics management mode. 1.2 Logistics software features and classified logistics software can be divided into: purchasing logistics management, sales logistics management, production logistics management, transportation management, warehouse management, circulation management, distribution management, etc. From the horizontal direction can be divided into: Logistics Management, Manufacturing Logistics Management, Third Party Logistics Management and International Logistics Management. The logistics software is used as a management software, which features the following features: (1) Advancement: Support 7 24's whole company business service, completely web browser application framework, integrated barcode, electronic data exchange (EDI), Global Positioning System (GPS), Geographic Information System (GIS), Wireless Communication (WAP) Advanced Technology. (2) Efficiency: The business system should have strong processing power, support a large number of concurrent web operations; can handle real-time data acquisition and data cleaning of the company's internal multi-sectoral or branch offices; database systems and storage equipment support strong Concurrent processes, support quick queries for a large number of database tables. (3) Reliability: guarantee the consistency and integrity of the data; (4) security: data security, including data transfer security, data storage security, data operation security; user security, user rights set security, user certificate And management; centralized authority management. Similarly, the logistics software is more management software, such as ERP, and the following features: (1) Implementing the risk, the implementation is rapid; (2) is remarkable, effective.
1.3 The status quo of domestic and foreign logistics and logistics software has considerable share in GDP in various countries, according to the statistics of the 1997 International Monetary Fund, Logistics costs account for GDP: US: 10.5%, Japan : 11.4%, Hong Kong, China: 13.7%, Taiwan, China: 13.1%, mainland China: 16.9%. In 2001, my country and logistics related year total expenditures reached 19 billion yuan, and the total cost of logistics projects accounted for about 20% of GDP. In foreign countries, the logistics costs of enterprises generally account for about 7% of the total cost of the enterprise, while the logistics costs of our enterprises are as high as more than 30%. It can be seen that China's logistics management level is in urgentity, and information is the basis of management, and advanced logistics management requires logistics informationization. In recent years, with the development of e-government, the business development of logistics itself has accelerated and attaches importance to the national high-level leadership, and logistics informationization has been greatly developed. In the front, the two major CCIDs and CCWs have shown that the investigation report of the logistics management software market shows that my country's logistics management software market scale will be expected to become mainstream enterprise management information software in the next few years. At present, logistics software suppliers, foreign famous companies have IBM, Oracle, SAP, EXE, I2, and domestic successful logistics professional software suppliers have investment Merchants Diichen, Zhongqi Crown, Brocade, Shanghai Fun, Beijing Wuli Ring, China Famous ERP merchants have friends, Kingdee. Among them, Shanghai Boo has achieved leading position in logistics management software, and its market share reached 17.4%. Followed by our use of friends, Kingdee, and East Soft Gold Abacus. Shanghai Boke Information Co., Ltd. Open9000 Architectural E-Commerce Suite - Azurized Purchase and Pre-Purchase Chain Management, Retail, Logistics Distribution and other systems are logistics software. Software has purchasing sales systems, distribution systems, etc.
Oracle has developed an E-Business Suite, where ORDER Management, Supply Chain, Procurement provide logistics management capabilities. Merchants Di Chen's DAP application platform is China's first information technology platform for standardization of logistics and supply chain management information. 2 Relationship between logistics software and Shanghai national economy
2.1 Establishing Logistics Center will increase the competitiveness of Shanghai International Metropolis in recent years, Shanghai's logistics industry has developed rapidly, and modern logistics industry has become one of the four emerging industries. The increased value of Shanghai logistics industry has risen from 10.965 billion yuan in 1990 to 67.048 billion yuan in 1996, accounted for 16.62% of the city's GDP, 2000, the traffic of goods in this industry rose by 7.8 %, As shown in Figure 3. By 2002, the Shanghai logistics industry share has accounted for 24.5% of the national market, which became the logistics industry center in my country. Shanghai's "10th Five-Year Plan" is one of the four major emerging industries that have been classified by modern logistics, and developing modern logistics is an important strategic goal of Shanghai industrial upgrading. In the next decade, it will invest 10 billion yuan, build three platforms, namely logistics infrastructure platform, logistics information platform, and logistics network operation platform. 2.2 Formation Shanghai Logistics Software Industry As soon as the rapid development of the logistics industry Such as IBM, Oracle, SAP, EXE and domestic famous companies such as UF, Kingdee have entered Shanghai. In addition, manufacturers currently active in the Shanghai logistics management software market also: Shanghai Yibao, Shanghai Hubei, Shanghai Rong Guo, Shanghai Sanl, Shanghai Vanfeng. In domestic logistics companies, Shanghai Boo has achieved leading positions at 17.4% market share, 38.6% brand cognitive rate, 71.4% satisfaction rate (including satisfaction and satisfaction). After several years of development, Shanghai's logistics software put into use is divided into concrete industry, including cold-chain logistics software system, third-party logistics management system, commercial logistics software system, circulation logistics software system, logistics enterprise core business software system, chain supermarket System freight management software, warehouse management software, advanced warehouse management software, advanced transportation management system, urban distribution management system, logistics network center collaborative system, e-commerce logistics management system, etc. Among them, the most mature is the third-party logistics management software - such as the Shanghai full logistics third-party logistics system, cold chain logistics - cold chain logistics system for bright dairy industry, as well as postal system logistics software - such as Shanghai Post "185" Postal logistics system.
After preliminary statistics, the software evaluated by Shanghai Computer Software Evaluation Key Laboratory is approximately the following: (1) Circulation Logistics Management Software: 1 Jiema Computer Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is developed "Ji Mima Customer Management System" For the software management software of the large-scale chain integrated supermarket; 2 Shanghai Yida Hong Software Technology Co., Ltd. is developed by Shanghai Yidong Software Technology Co., Ltd. is a set of contracts, sales orders, invitations, return, transportation, inventory, inventory, allocation , The traffic industry logistics management software management software; 3 Jiema Computer Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. developed "Jiema West Cuttle Chain Management Information System" is a web-based western cake chain in the transfer deposit computer management software .

Shanghai has a powerful logistics software company such as Xueko, also has a well-known logistics software company at home and abroad, and has a large number of large-scale logistics software companies. Plus Shanghai itself is the national logistics center, with a large number of national and world-famous logistics companies, also have huge logistics markets. Shanghai's logistics software industry is gradually forming. 3 Opportunities and Challenges of Shanghai Logistics Software
Logistics software has huge markets. According to the investigation report of the logistics management software market according to CCID and CCW, my country's logistics management software market scale will be expected to exceed ERP in the next few years and become mainstream enterprise management information software. And the logistics software itself has huge markets at home and abroad. According to IDC's digital statistics on the supply chain market, the global supply chain market will increase from $ 25 billion in 1999 to $ 140 billion in 2004. In 1999, the investment in the implementation of supply chain management and optimization was as high as US $ 292 million. It is expected to grow to $ 1 billion in 2004. China's investment in supply chain management and optimization in 1999 and 2000 is $ 21 million and $ 30 million, which is expected to reach $ 145 million in 2004, as shown in Table 1. With the rapid development of Shanghai logistics, Shanghai Logistics Software Co., Ltd. has also developed rapidly and has more logistics software companies. Shanghai software products have a very low market share, software product brand and well-known software companies are not as good as Beijing and Shenzhen, and today's logistics software is developing a good opportunity for Shanghai. Develop logistics software, build their own software brands, improve the popularity and influence of Shanghai software in the country, seize more market share, and accelerate the construction of Shanghai Logistics Center. However, the development of Shanghai logistics software is also challenging. This challenge mainly comes from outside competition and its own shortcomings, of which Shanghai logistics software's own insufficient is the key to development. With the expansion of the logistics market, more and more software companies at home and abroad have gathered Shanghai, and they have launched their own advantage products and want to share more logistics software markets. Famous companies like I2, IBM, Oracle, SAP, EXE have built their logistics software brands and solutions, and the domestic is more in the country - there is no lack of use of users, Kingdee has a powerful company. The problems of Shanghai logistics software itself are mainly manifested in the following aspects: 1 lack of unified standard standards. Long-term logistics software has no unified standards, resulting in their respective logistics software companies to develop their own products. Due to lack of unified standards, it is difficult to deliver and share data between these software products, forming information sharing, more difficult to integrate with each other system management software. Such a product is difficult to create a greater economic and social benefits of logistics industries, and it is difficult to compete for the market in foreign advanced logistics software. 2 small scale and low technical content.
Shanghai logistics company, except for individual excellent companies, the development of products have low products - such as racode, electronic data exchange (EDI), geographic information system / global positioning system (GISGPS), etc. There is no interface to reserved advanced technology, which cannot meet the development of modern logistics. Through the Software Statistics of the Shanghai Computer Software Evaluation Key Laboratory Test: Only the "Mile Leads Logistics Distribution System" developed by Shanghai Bibo Logistics Software Co., Ltd. has the ability to monitor the vehicle trajectory of the vehicle in real time, and can be used in EDI. transmission. Other software did not involve the above-mentioned advanced technology, and there is no interface to integrated these advanced technologies. This is a significant gap between countries with high levels of logistics information. And in fact, the above advanced technology can bring huge economic and social benefits, and data shows that the application EDI can increase the transfer speed of the business documents by 81%; the cost cost is reduced by 44%. 3 Logistics software companies lack effective division of labor, cooperation, and have not formed a competitive fist product. The Shanghai logistics market has gave birth to more logistics software companies, but most of these companies are small and technically thin. Most of them have long-term cooperation in different logistics companies, such as warehouses, terminals, steamer, distribution centers, medicine, etc., have accumulated a lot of development experience. However, due to lack of division of labor, cooperation, especially cooperation, they cannot share existing development experience and field knowledge, difficult to develop a large-scale logistics software fist in full range of technology, and meet the standards of various logistics industry standards. 4 Some suggestions for promoting the development of Shanghai logistics software
4.1 Strengthening the standardization of logistics information, enabling logistics software to develop standardized logistics cross-industries - such as transportation industry, storage, customs, etc., involving multiple industry standards and technical standards, the connection and coordination between existing standards, The logistics system is not standardized, and the information exchange of all aspects of logistics operation is not smooth. Especially with the rapid development of information technology, it is very lack of modern logistics standards for information technology applications. The Ministry of Science and Technology has allocated the research and development of thousands of yuan for logistics standards. The importance of logistics information, especially logistics software, in terms of logistics standardization, is increasingly high. Because there is no uniform standard, each logistics software is like the island of sea, it is difficult to perform data exchange, information sharing, and difficult to form a greater economic benefit of logistics information management. At the same time, there is no unified standard, and each logistics software is difficult to provide an integrated interface for various advanced logistics technologies. At present, the standardization of logistics has been widely understood, and there are many research, such as the Ministry of Communications Logistics Engineering Research Center, etc., the "10th Five-Year Plan" Science and Technology Project - "Research and Key Standards for Logistics Distribution Systems and Key Standards Formulate projects and "research and formulation of my country's e-commerce and modern logistics standards and key standards". However, there are few research on logistics information, especially logistics software standards. Shanghai has developed many types of logistics software, and increasing speeds in increments in increasing, and the research of logistics software standards is necessary. Research on logistics information and software standards can be divided into - logistics information collection standards, logistics information transmission and exchange standards, logistics information record and storage standards, logistics information system development standards, logistics information security standards, logistics software evaluation standards. Among them, logistics software evaluation criteria are effective and fast means to ensure the quality of logistics software, such as the British companies with business intelligence and data migrations in the insurance and financial industry, providing quality of customer relationship management systems for financial services. The guaranteed "Health Check" has achieved good economic and social benefits. 4.2 Establish quality assurance platforms to actively develop logistics and logistics software services to actively develop the quality assurance platform that meets logistics standards is an effective means of ensuring logistics software. At present, my country has successfully developed software quality assurance platform based on ISO9001 and CMM, such as joint development of China Academy Software Institute, Beijing Zhonglian Technology Co., Ltd. - "Software Quality Assurance Platform Based on ISO 9000 and CMM". It can be learned from the successful experience of these guarantees platform to carry out the research on the quality assurance platform for logistics software. Mainly study demand management management of logistics software development, in the guarantees of integrated software requirements analysis management, including analysis steps, analytical methods, and needs to analyze correctness; research logistics software development process management, industry standards involved in logistics, Logistics standard, logistics software standard seamlessly integrate in development process management; research software test management, mainly studying the problem of logistics software unit testing, system integration testing in the quality management platform; research software defect management; Complete logistics software document management.
Developing logistics software quality assurance platforms can improve the quality management level of logistics software production enterprises, can gradually realize software development process standards, truly improve the product development efficiency of software companies, improve the quality of software products, and gradually move logistics software companies Mature, promoting the ability of logistics software companies to participate in international competition. 4.3 Division of labor cooperation, promoting competitive logistics software in Shanghai, with the continuous increase in logistics software demand, market has already given a number of companies engaged in logistics software, and they have developed a lot Logistics software. These software companies have their own technical advantages in different fields. Through reasonable division of labor, it is conducive to the improvement of the technical level of software companies, and launches competitive logistics software and promotes the development of Shanghai logistics software. 5 conclusion
With the "10th Five-Year Plan" planning of modern logistics as one of the four emerging industries of key development, logistics plays an increasingly important role in the Shanghai national economy. Shanghai's traditional logistics begins to take high informationization. Modern logistics. The development of modern logistics has promoted the development of Shanghai logistics software, so that Shanghai logistics software has emerged unprecedented development opportunities. However, due to its shortcomings in Shanghai logistics software and logistics software, there is no unified standard, lack of divisional cooperation, no integration of advanced logistics technology, has not formed a logistics software industry with fist products and obvious advantages. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a unified logistics software standard, especially logistics software evaluation standards, establish logistics software quality assurance platforms to promote the development and formation of Shanghai logistics software industry, so that Shanghai logistics software leads in the country to build Shanghai software brands.
