Recently, the report that logistics costs account for 30% of the selling price of vegetable food surprised almost everyone. Domestic logistics costs are actually as high as expected, and all this will eventually be paid by consumers. Since all roads are charged and all oil prices are raised, is there any stubborn illness in the logistics of the solid wood furniture industry? The transportation of solid wood furniture is easy to damage and the logistics cannot be injured.
At present, most domestic furniture transportation is handled by specialized logistics companies, and there are few pure individualized transportation transportation. The entire market is also very professional. Many road transportation and logistics companies have clearly stated that they will not accept furniture. This shows how professional they are. After all, they are limited by the attributes and size of the goods. Therefore, it is generally the large logistics companies that this industry can undertake such a heavy task.
Why are there so many companies that are reluctant to take orders that are in front of them? In the process of furniture transportation, it involves quality storage of furniture. Simple log transportation does not need to worry about bumps in transportation. As long as the flowers, fruits and vegetables are kept fresh, there are no such high requirements for driving, and the finished furniture is easily damaged or damaged.
Once damaged, the headache is not the compensation of individual items, but the problem of whether the goods can be delivered on time. For example, the bed board of a bed is damaged, the entire bed frame and mattress cannot be delivered, and finally the end customer's after-sales Service issues. Even at the last stage of transportation and distribution, especially office furniture, which is used in office buildings, the number of freight elevators is limited, and the use is limited in time, which greatly increases the uncertainty of delivery time and cannot guarantee time and quality. Logistics services are naturally discounted Many, therefore, the premium of furniture logistics is much higher than other industries. Logistics costs are naturally much higher.
Warehousing management informatization is hard to beat
Each order is recorded in the company's sales and warehouse management system, and a thick stack of paper is also printed. And this is really the information CMS system currently adopted by most large furniture brand companies. This greatly improves the efficiency of warehousing logistics and saves a lot of costs.
However, for large furniture brands, because there are many products, many types, many different models of the same model, these are superimposed together, it is difficult to accurately control the specific categories, especially if there are too many individual parts, which requires a highly intelligent The information system is managed precisely, and this seems to be behind the development of the enterprise in terms of personnel training and software development.
Semi-finished product transportation is the way out
Nowadays, the labor costs and operating costs of furniture production bases in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta are constantly increasing, but the matching logistics is much more mature than that in the Midwest. Cost, but increased logistics costs.
As a result, more and more companies imitate IKEA's "self-assembling furniture", they ship semi-finished products directly to large consumer markets, and then assemble and indoor distribution, so that it reduces the uncertainties in logistics and saves a lot The cost is more conducive to warehousing management.
