The penetration rate of overseas e-commerce has increased rapidly, which is accompanied by the explosive growth of cross-border logistics industry. With the rapid growth of China's foreign trade export since the epidemic, cross-border seaborne exports account for more than 60% of global commodity exports, which brings great development opportunities to traditional cross-border logistics enterprises. Although foreign trade has always been one of the troikas of the domestic economy, because foreign trade is mainly dominated by foreign trade enterprises, cross-border e-commerce based on Amazon has been tepid in China before, and the outbreak of cross-border e-commerce has had a huge impact on cross-border logistics. A large number of cross-border e-commerce enterprises emerge, and massive parcels need to be transported through cross-border logistics, which puts forward new requirements for the digital management of cross-border logistics enterprises.

Cross-border logistics is several conventional modes; 1, express parcel mode; 2. Centralized delivery mode; 3. Overseas warehouse mode;

The mode of express parcel is mainly postal parcel, which has wide coverage but slow speed; It can be sent directly to more than 230 countries and regions around the world by parcel post; 2. Centralized delivery mode, which adopts centralized receipt and customs declaration of domestic first station transportation; After arriving at overseas destinations, terminal distribution will be carried out through local logistics distribution companies such as UPS and DPD. Most cross-border e-commerce companies adopt this method. The advantage of this method is that the timeliness is obviously better than that of postal parcels and the price is moderate. 3, overseas warehouse mode, through Amazon and other platforms, centralized distribution of domestic goods to overseas warehouses, goods stored in overseas warehouses. After the customer places an order, it will be delivered directly from the overseas warehouse. This timeliness is the highest, and of course, you need to pay for the use of overseas warehouses. This is suitable for brand enterprises.

Based on the commodity transportation mode of cross-border e-commerce, how should cross-border logistics enterprises upgrade? In view of the explosive appearance of a large number of cross-border e-commerce enterprises, the original traditional freight forwarding model and offline management efficiency are far from meeting the efficiency requirements of cross-border e-commerce Cross-border e-commerce has obvious characteristics, such as many pieces, nonstandard and unsuitable, which puts forward higher requirements for the ability and management of cross-border logistics enterprises, forcing them to complete the management and upgrade of digital systems.
