In recent years, the internet has had an increasing impact on all industries. Take the development of FMCG as an example. In the past, when you bought New Year goods, you might drive to a large supermarket. Sometimes, you might need to visit several supermarkets to get everything you wanted. Now, you can fulfill your one-stop shopping needs online. In addition, convenience stores downstairs in your community can meet daily shopping needs. FMCG products are getting closer to consumers, and the requirements for product circulation efficiency are getting higher. According to relevant data: before products reach end consumers, goods are moved an average of 7 times, directly increasing product costs by more than 10 percentage points. 95% of product circulation time is consumed in logistics, causing end consumers to pay more for unreasonable product circulation costs. Some large FMCG companies have started to improve efficiency and reduce costs in logistics. Let's take several FMCG companies served by Yihuodi as examples. Yihuodi * Coca-Cola: Deep cooperation to reduce logistics costs Currently, one-third of Chengdu Coca-Cola's distribution business is completed by Yihuodi, covering the 8 main urban districts of Chengdu, as well as 4 routes including Pidu District and Wenjiang in the near suburbs, and Chongzhou and Dayi in the outer suburbs. As is well known, Coca-Cola has many sales channels. Therefore, Yihuodi's clients are sales partners directly cooperating with Coca-Cola, including supermarkets (like RT-Mart and Century Mart), cinemas (like Wanda), wholesalers, internet cafes, hotels, etc. Different industries have different distribution requirements, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of distribution. Moreover, Coca-Cola reflects the tidal characteristics of the logistics industry: the higher the temperature, the greater the shipment volume. Under heavy tasks and complex distribution requirements, Yihuodi still ensures timeliness and service. In terms of timeliness, the entire transportation process—order placement, delivery, inspection, and receipt confirmation—must be completed within 48 hours, with some requiring completion within 24 hours. In terms of service, the outer packaging of bottles must be free of dust, and the damage rate for the entire truckload must be below 5%. Seize timeliness and service, and you seize the customer's heart Yihuodi does not own a single vehicle, but it has strong control over transportation resources. "We reserve transportation resources at a ratio of 1:1.5 to cope with Coca-Cola's uncertain order volumes (all Coca-Cola orders are only available the night before)," said Qi Libao, head of Yihuodi Chengdu. Transportation resources are the foundation, and reasonable route planning and scheduling are another key to ensuring smooth operations. Coca-Cola distribution involves different industries. Yihuodi fully utilizes differences in receiving times and customer locations to plan transportation. Therefore, when arranging distribution plans, the principle roughly follows: supermarkets > cinemas > wholesalers > internet cafes and hotels. Drivers serving Coca-Cola must pass assessments and training before starting work, and receive regular monthly training to strengthen industry-specific distribution experience and other skills. Vehicles are also handled meticulously: before departure each day, a 5S inspection of vehicle appearance and interior cleanliness is conducted, and vehicle faults are checked; only when all requirements are met can the vehicle depart. These are just routine services. The Chengdu team also provides "personalized" services for Coca-Cola: In summer, when Chengdu temperatures exceed 40 degrees Celsius, to prevent bottles from expanding due to high-temperature transport, the Yihuodi Chengdu team arranges shipments for customers with transport times exceeding 1 hour to be dispatched after 9 PM (overtime delivery). In the future, the cooperation between Coca-Cola and Yihuodi may extend to outer packaging transport projects, warehouse transfer business, warehousing business, and a series of Coca-Cola logistics "value-added services." Only such deep cooperation can truly achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Yihuodi * Boniya: The freshness secret of China's top 50 meat company Boniya In May 2017, Yihuodi began cooperating with Qingdao Boniya Food, providing customized urban logistics solutions for Boniya. Qingdao Boniya Food Company, as a key leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization in Shandong Province, implements a strict control system from farm to table, ensuring that Boniya meat products are green, safe, and reassuring, and is deeply loved by Qingdao citizens. It is reported that Yihuodi provides urban distribution services for 97 Boniya stores in Qingdao urban area every day, with an average of more than 10 trips per day (up to more than 30 during peak times), sorting nearly 200 types of goods, with constant-temperature cold chain and intelligent route planning, ensuring the safe delivery of every Boniya food product. Cross-stacking + constant-temperature cold chain to ensure safe delivery Safety is the top priority in food distribution. As Boniya's distribution service provider, Yihuodi demonstrates high requirements for distribution safety from the loading stage, using cross-stacking (flat when goods are few, steep step-like when goods are many) to prevent products from tipping over or sliding and being damaged during sudden braking. Secondly, every vehicle serving Boniya is equipped with full cold chain, GPS positioning, and temperature control systems, monitoring temperature in real time to ensure that all products remain between 2-8 degrees Celsius during transport. Since the cooperation with Boniya, there have been zero safety accidents. Yihuodi's high requirements for distribution safety have been well received by customers. Intelligent route planning + multi-point delivery to ensure service timeliness The difficulty in Boniya distribution is the large number of stores, complex routes, and high timeliness requirements. The day before delivery, after the customer places an order, Yihuodi's Fenbao 2.0 system matches appropriate vehicles, plans routes intelligently, and sets the optimal delivery route for each driver. In the morning, drivers arrive at the warehouse around 4:00, depart at 5:00, and finish the day's store deliveries around 16:00. During this time, each driver can deliver to more than 10 stores on average and assist Boniya store managers with goods counting, stacking, delivery, and receipt confirmation services. To meet Boniya's temporary vehicle needs during holidays, Yihuodi reserves vehicles at 1.5 times the usual usage volume to meet temporary needs and ensure service quality and timeliness. During the cooperation with Boniya, the high-quality service level has been repeatedly praised by the customer. Yihuodi is committed to providing comprehensive urban logistics solutions for food companies like Boniya, ensuring the safety of food distribution and giving customers' customers peace of mind! Yihuodi * Zhiweiguan: Helping Zhiweiguan reduce transportation costs by about 10% At the end of August 2017, Yihuodi's Hangzhou Zhiweiguan distribution business was fully launched. Unlike other industries, food companies experience a surge in transportation demand during key festivals such as Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival, with vehicle usage 4-5 times the daily average, showing significant tidal demand. Social vehicles and company-owned vehicles are difficult to meet the explosive growth in vehicle demand, making Yihuodi, which provides one-stop urban logistics solutions, the best choice for customers. Yihuodi's customized urban logistics solutions not only greatly improve distribution efficiency but also help customers reduce transportation costs by an average of about 10%. In Hangzhou, 7 out of every 10 boxes of mooncakes are delivered by Yihuodi Hangzhou Zhiweiguan is a long-time customer of Yihuodi. As early as last Spring Festival, Yihuodi had opened multiple routes to provide New Year goods distribution services for Zhiweiguan's 142 stores, outlets, and supermarkets. This Mid-Autumn Festival, cooperation was upgraded again, with Zhiweiguan entrusting 70% of mooncake distribution to Yihuodi. At the end of July, the preparation of transportation resources for Zhiweiguan mooncake distribution began. To ensure efficient, accurate, and safe service, Yihuodi carefully selected 103 experienced gold-medal drivers from 5 logistics fleets, with vehicle types including 4.2-meter box trucks, small vans, and Iveco vans to meet diverse distribution needs. At the same time, dedicated personnel were stationed on-site to control every step from loading, unloading, settlement, receipt confirmation, and inspection to ensure that every link in distribution is foolproof. Indeed, the market environment is changing rapidly. Both FMCG companies and logistics companies must continuously explore and develop to stand firm in the market. Whether it is the globally renowned brand Coca-Cola or local well-known enterprises like Hangzhou Zhiweiguan and Qingdao Boniya, they have all chosen to cooperate with Yihuodi, demonstrating its service capabilities. -END-
