How To Realize Low Cost Customization Of Project Logistics Information System
At present, the realization of logistics information system
low cost
Customization is the hope of every third party logistics company who hopes to win in the logistics competition of the big client project.
Shen Guokang, chairman and CEO of Boko Touchplus information Corp, said that in order to realize the low cost customization of project logistics informatization, it is necessary to realize the following three aspects: manpower cost, technical cost and time cost.
How to achieve low labor cost, low technology cost and low time cost of information technology needs to overturn the traditional software industry's system development mode.
The origin of customization
Customization is a relatively high price product in most people's eyes. Successful people's custom shirts, expensive customized watches, tailored costumes for tall athletes, exquisite and elegant custom dresses are all expensive branding.
What about customized software?
20 years ago, when the enterprise management software just entered China, the software industry was popular with customization mode. The first batch of enterprises that accepted information projects, such as Lenovo, implemented the whole project for two years. The huge system was formed by the programmers working day and night, accumulating tens of millions of lines of code. The information system was expensive and implemented for a long time. At the same time, once the information needs of enterprises changed, programmers were required to write codes to complete them.
Customization can really tailor the business to the enterprise, but if the enterprise grows, the "clothes" will become a "tights", which can not only help the growth of enterprises, but also hinder the development of enterprises to a large extent.
Later, in a
Promotion of information technology
After thousands of users have been implemented, the company has such a code base as financial management, order management, warehouse management, pportation management, what users need and what enterprises provide, which is the so-called generalization stage.
However, with the rapid changes of business environment, enterprises have unknowingly entered the changing pattern of business, changing business processes naturally need to constantly adjust the information flow of enterprises.
At this time, the enterprise pformed from standardized software application to customized software application.
Customized software requirements
Current
logistics
Companies are mostly two kinds, one is their own pport tools, such as JBHunt, and very famous UPS, Federal Express, Schneider and so on.
They have many kinds of pportation, besides large trucks, including shipping, aviation and railways.
The second company is 3PL.
Such companies are mainly consulting and developing software.
In addition, there is a comprehensive type, such as WalMart.
WalMart itself has more than 2000 trucks.
They also have their own logistics management departments.
At the same time, they still rely mainly on other pportation companies, such as SWIFT, to complete the pportation of interstate goods.
For the third party logistics enterprises, it is very important to receive the project logistics contracts smoothly.
The needs of large customers for their own project logistics are often different, but logistics enterprises can sign long-term contracts with key customers, which is a business system matching with customers. This brings difficulties to the logistics enterprise informatization. For example, if a logistics company has contracted IKEA's national logistics and distribution service, it will serve as a link for terminal customers to deliver distribution services, and it will be incorporated into IKEA's whole management system. All its business processes and information feedback must meet IKEA's requirements, and at the same time, it will be subject to unified supervision by IKEA.
But if the logistics company provides services for pharmaceutical enterprises at the same time, it will not be possible to use IKEA's process to do it. For this reason, the logistics company needs to reorganize its business process, including the reconstruction of the information system to meet the requirements of the pharmaceutical enterprise.
At this time, relying on the original code, relatively solidified information construction and building methods, can no longer meet the requirements of rapid response to the market.
Even if you have the money to rebuild the information system, your owners may not have time to wait for you.
In the fierce market competition, facing the change of demand, logistics enterprises should make rapid adjustment of informatization.
"In fact, we need information independence."
Low cost development mode brought by Yigo language
Without code development, the information technology industry brings the reduction of information technology threshold, which means that non-technical personnel can also achieve the construction of information system by dragging and dragging the mouse.
To a large extent, the cost of personnel has been reduced, the flexible information construction mode and the spiral delivery mode have greatly shortened the project implementation cycle and saved time cost.
