Since March, affected by the epidemic, express logistics in many places has been delayed and interrupted. In order to ensure the effective operation of the express network, many logistics enterprises such as Zhongtong, Yuantong, China Post and Jingdong Logistics have launched different assistance measures to alleviate the pressure of outlets, ensure the smooth postal route and help solve the delivery problems of merchants.
Zhongtong said that Zhongtong finance added a special loan of 500 million yuan at interest discount to help alleviate the financial pressure of outlets, and the provinces and regions will make overall arrangements to support the provision of epidemic prevention materials for outlets affected by the epidemic in the whole network. In terms of reducing the burden and ensuring the income of outlets, Zhongtong helped outlets in terms of dispatching policy support, reduction of return fee, reduction of work order, fresh food compensation and so on.
In addition, on the basis of the 100 million yuan “little brother care fund” established in 2021, Zhongtong will add 50 million yuan to provide subsidies to couriers and their families who have difficulties in life due to diseases, accidental injuries and other reasons in the whole network of Zhongtong. In addition, Zhongtong group funded the renewal of “xiaogebao tuanyi insurance” for the whole network, providing personal accident insurance covering work and daily life scenes for a whole year.
According to the current situation of network operation, Yuantong also launched six measures. Starting from the aspects of financial support, fee allocation adjustment and material overall planning, in order to help each network do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, ensure personnel and production safety, reduce the operation pressure of the network and ensure the stability and smoothness of the network.
These six measures include: for the branches affected by the epidemic in the whole network, Yuantong headquarters set up an anti epidemic fund with a total amount of 300 million yuan, and provide interest free loan support of 10 Fawer Automotive Parts Limited Company(000030) 0000 yuan for three months according to the actual situation; At the same time, the assessment will be adjusted. From March 1, the service quality assessment will be reduced or exempted for the branches affected by the epidemic in the whole network; For the corresponding business volume assessment, the assessment requirements are relaxed. In addition, all provinces and regions will also coordinate and provide corresponding support in terms of payment, epidemic prevention materials and nucleic acid detection.
Affected by the epidemic, express logistics in various regions are faced with varying degrees of transportation restrictions. Express delivery includes multiple links such as picking up, dispatching and the operation center in the middle. Any link affected by the epidemic will affect the transportation capacity of the whole chain. Therefore, logistics enterprises also need to make new plans for transportation links and capacity allocation.
Zhang Zhanjun, deputy general manager of the mail and delivery division of China Post Group Co., Ltd., said in an interview with China Central Television that 56 inter provincial lines have been added and 168 inter provincial lines have been dynamically adjusted to avoid the impact of the epidemic on postal routes by bypassing and driving directly.
According to the official account of WeChat, the official account of WeChat, China, Hebei Langfang has closed 68 postal outlets since the outbreak of the disease, squeezing 127 thousand and 700 parcels and 181 thousand newspapers and magazines. China post command and dispatch center has taken urgent measures to dispatch vehicles on the way and processed mail, and has added 20 more direct postal routes within one hour and adjusted 40 postal routes.
It is worth noting that businesses are also affected in the current transportation environment. Some goods are overstocked and stranded because they cannot be delivered in time. Jingdong Logistics said that most of the businesses with surging logistics demand operate seasonal products, mainly focusing on 3C, cosmetics, drinks and food with high customer unit price.
For such products, JD logistics coordinates through warehouse docking, linkage sites, system deployment and other methods. For example, it usually arranges operators to communicate the delivery situation and details with customers in time, and synchronously coordinates the vehicles at the site for transshipment and delivery, so as to achieve priority delivery nearby as far as possible.
