Compared with traditional logistics, modern logistics refers to the effective flow of raw materials and finished products from the starting point to the end point and the whole process of related information. It organically combines transportation, warehousing, loading and unloading, processing, sorting, distribution and information to form a complete supply chain and provide users with multifunctional and integrated comprehensive services. In modern logistics, information plays a very important role. The flow of goods can not be separated from the flow of information, which can not meet the needs of consumers accurately and quickly, and the timely withdrawal of funds can not be separated from the feedback of relevant information. Through the rapid, accurate and real-time information flow in the logistics system, enterprises can respond to the market in time and quickly, thus realizing a virtuous circle of business flow, information flow and capital flow. Modern logistics is a series of complex and precise activities, and the planning, organization, control and coordination of this activity cannot be separated from the support of information technology. This paper analyzes the influence of information technology on modern logistics and the development trend of modern logistics, and puts forward some suggestions on speeding up the informatization process of logistics industry in China. 1 the influence of information technology on modern logistics. 1 internet provides a good operating platform for logistics enterprises, which greatly saves the total transaction cost of society. Although logistics management also has the characteristics of general enterprise management, it also has its unique personality. Most of the content of logistics management involves the contact and coordination between various departments within the enterprise. Therefore, logistics management is a blind spot and difficulty in enterprise management. Poor operation will lead to low logistics efficiency of enterprises, and even low operation efficiency of the whole enterprise. Internet technology just provides a good operating platform for logistics management. Under the network environment, each node enterprise in the supply chain can better realize information sharing, improve the productivity of enterprises, reduce the operating cost of logistics enterprises and provide greater added value for products. 1.2. Network technology promotes new changes in logistics delivery mode. Internet is the largest carrier in modern logistics activities, and people can obtain all kinds of related logistics commodity information through the Internet. Users only need to order through the network, and the rest can be done by the distribution center of logistics enterprises. At the same time, some commodities can be obtained in a simple way, such as music, movies, games, pictures, e-books, computer software, teaching programs and commodities stored in the form of standard electronic information, which can be downloaded directly from the Internet. 1.3 logistics information system greatly facilitates the collection and transmission of logistics information, which is of great significance to enterprise management. Due to the wide application of information technology, logistics information system can collect a lot of market information. Through the processing and processing of this information, it is easy to obtain valuable business information and intelligence, such as customer's order quantity, purchasing habits, changing characteristics of commodity demand and so on. These materials are of great value to enterprises in formulating management policies, commodity development and sales. 2 The development trend of modern logistics industry is driven by information technology. With the advent of e-commerce era, globalization, informationization and multi-function have become the goals pursued by modern logistics enterprises under the promotion and influence of information technology. 2. 1 globalization-the competitive trend of modern logistics enterprises. At present, commodities and production factors flow freely around the world at an unprecedented speed. Transnational operation is popular all over the world. In order to pursue greater profits, enterprises often arrange the production of raw materials, semi-finished products, parts processing, finished product assembly, labeling, packaging, shipping and sales of many commodities in many different places at home and abroad, and combine them with the production, circulation, distribution and consumption processes, thus changing the traditional production and operation methods. The production and operation of multinational corporations are increasingly becoming the main source of current and future international logistics demand and the focus of logistics development and competition. This global strategic trend makes logistics enterprises and production enterprises more closely linked, forming a huge social division of labor. Production enterprises focus on manufacturing products, reducing costs and creating value, while logistics enterprises focus on logistics services, so the business functions and service levels of logistics enterprises have higher requirements than before. 2.2 Informatization-the only way for modern logistics industry In the era of e-commerce, to provide the best service, the logistics system must have a good information processing and transmission system. In large distribution companies, ECR and J IT systems are generally established. Through the scientific and systematic analysis of customers' consumption, we can meet customers' needs in time and improve the turnover times of warehouse goods under the condition of ensuring the minimum inventory of goods. Under normal circumstances, the turnover of warehouse goods is about 20 times a year. If effective means of customer information feedback are adopted, the turnover times can be increased to about 24 times. Distribution not only realizes internal information networking, but also increases the tracking information of distributed goods, thus greatly improving the service level of logistics enterprises and reducing costs. 2.3 Multifunctional-the development direction of modern logistics industry In the era of e-commerce, modern logistics has developed to the intensive stage. The comprehensive distribution center no longer only provides warehousing and transportation services, but also must provide distribution, distribution and various distribution and processing services to increase added value, and can also provide other services according to customer needs. Modern supply chain management is to optimize logistics and provide customers with value-added services beyond their own expectations through the comprehensive operation of supply chain from suppliers to consumers. 3. Suggestions on accelerating the informatization development of modern logistics industry 3. 1 change ideas and do a good job in the outline and planning of information development in the logistics industry. Government departments and enterprises must fully realize the great opportunities brought by logistics informatization to the whole logistics industry, make key decisions that are more conducive to promoting the informatization development of the whole logistics industry, and do everything possible to stimulate the social demand of logistics informatization, which is very necessary to improve the informatization level of the whole logistics industry. In order to promote the rapid and stable development of the whole logistics industry, it is necessary for the state to make a long-term plan. Only in this way can we accelerate the pace of China's informatization development, improve the application level of modern information technology as a whole, and create a good technical environment and market demand for the development of logistics industry. 3.2. Highlight key points and promote the standardization of logistics information. At present, the diversification, disunity and non-standardization of logistics information standards have become one of the main factors restricting the development of logistics information in China. Therefore, the first thing is to unify standards. The government should actively advocate the formulation of standards for all walks of life, especially manufacturing, wholesale and retail, and other industries closely related to logistics. Secondly, it is necessary to speed up the research and formulation of some urgently needed standards, such as the standards of electronic logistics information interaction between enterprises and the standards of logistics public information platform, so as to improve the logistics standard system. Finally, strengthen the publicity of logistics information standards, standardize logistics operation processes, guide and organize enterprises to carry out digital conversion of processes, and clear the basic obstacles for the promotion and use of information technology. 3.3. Based on reality, accelerate the construction of logistics public information platform. By constructing a unified logistics public information platform based on the Internet, we can provide basic logistics information that flows according to unified data standards for factories, suppliers and logistics enterprises, and realize information sharing. It can not only avoid duplication of work and save social resources, but also meet the needs of enterprise information systems for logistics public information and support the realization of various functions of enterprise information systems. At the same time, information sharing through logistics can also support government departments to establish a collaborative working mechanism in industry management and market regulation management. 3.4. Take effective measures to encourage logistics technology innovation. The improvement of the application level of information technology depends on the development of related application software and technical equipment. Therefore, the state should increase the research and development of logistics technology, especially the application of information technology in the field of logistics, and take effective measures to encourage logistics technology innovation. Encourage and support enterprises to use information technology to improve logistics management and operation means, and support network construction and management innovation of information exchange and sharing between upstream and downstream enterprises. Government departments can list the key research and development projects of modern logistics system technology as national natural science foundation projects, as the direction of encouragement and priority research; Organize relevant domestic scientific research institutes to fully develop China logistics innovation achievements with intellectual property rights; The establishment of special funds focuses on encouraging and supporting logistics enterprises to carry out logistics information construction. 3.5. Focus on cultivating logistics management talents and improve the professional quality of logistics employees. Modern logistics is a value-added service system involving many disciplines and fields. Logistics enterprises must speed up the training and bring up a group of high-quality professionals. We can learn from foreign experience and implement the qualification certificate system for employees in the logistics industry to attract more talents to learn and study logistics-related knowledge. In addition, where conditions permit, training courses on logistics can be held regularly or irregularly to cultivate logistics talents. Relevant departments should organize experts to formulate unified evaluation standards for logistics specialty as soon as possible and stipulate the core courses of logistics specialty, so as to urge schools at all levels to improve teaching quality. 3.6. Implement strong alliance to improve the international competitiveness of China's modern logistics enterprises. Most of China's logistics enterprises are small in scale, weak in strength and low in ability, and are often at a disadvantage in market competition with large international logistics companies. Therefore, domestic qualified small and medium-sized logistics enterprises can take advantage of their domestic network and facilities and the low cost of human resources to establish strategic partnerships with large foreign logistics enterprises, or they can acquire and merge with each other, carry out strategic restructuring and transformation, form large group companies, and develop into integrated logistics. Conclusion Information technology plays a great role in promoting the development of modern logistics industry. As long as we can correctly grasp the development trend of modern logistics industry, combine with China's actual situation, make up our minds to increase the application of information technology in the logistics field, make full use of the late-developing advantages of information technology, and learn from the experiences and lessons of developed countries, the development of modern logistics industry in China will usher in broad development prospects.
