Square Up: Logistics & Distribution

Logistics

Working in china includes dealing with significant logistics challenges, crippled by a highly fragmented market, fairly under-developed and providing rudimentary solutions, the logistics market as yet to evolve from its local protectionism practices that limit the development and the implementation of national networks to reach international standard.

No logistics company has developed a comprehensive coverage of the country because setting up nation-wide capabilities is too difficult. Most Local Logistics operators are trucking companies which have not yet integrated professional logistics management practices to circumvent the:

Lack of sophisticated operation know-how.
Poor management practices.
Shortage of professional managers & talented operators.
Poorly designed & equipped warehousing infrastructures.
Lack of track and trace capabilities and poor if no visibility on inventories.

Due to the local protectionism of regions and provinces, trucks registered in one city do not have access to other cities during day-time, "Truck Pass" control access managed in a very tight manner, resulting in Unprofessional fleet management and a cottage trucking industry.
