E-commerce warehousing service companies and traditional logistics services have always been the topic of discussion, but most of them focus on the level of thinking or planning, that is, how to use the thinking of e-commerce warehousing service companies to make decisions, interact with customers, and set categories. If we want to talk about the similarities between the two, as logistics: both traditional and e-commerce warehousing service companies are initiated based on the flow of goods, and both aim to achieve the logistics goal at a certain controllable cost. This goal is to deliver products to the right place and people at the right time and in the right way. This is one of the few things we can find in common. But this article mainly through the analysis some real work actual situation, perspects its difference.

Before that, we must master some pre information, which is the basic starting point for us to analyze the similarities and differences. In other words, it is basically due to these seemingly simple but basically recognized changes, which lead to the thousands of miles difference between the traditional and e-commerce warehousing service company mode! Considering the rigor, we will focus on the retail department store industry. From three aspects:

1、 On the surface, e-commerce has compressed space and accelerated time. Space refers to that end users and enterprises basically have no traditional concept of distance, which is similar in all directions. The acceleration of time means that space is actually virtual compression, but it needs speed to transform virtual space compression into practical effect.

2、 'Less variety, large batch, less batch, long cycle' is changed into 'more variety, small batch, more batch, short cycle'; this change leads to great differences in logistics behavior, such as inventory management, warehousing, picking, vehicle arrangement, etc.

3、 The IT technology factor of logistics plays an important role in e-commerce warehousing service companies. In traditional industries, the role of this factor can only be an effective supplement. Many traditional logistics do not have a logistics system with strong IT technology, which is an important reason for many large e-commerce warehousing service companies to build their own logistics, such as No.1 store and Jingdong.

With such a general concept, we will easily understand and may go deep into every link of logistics, and analyze the differences and the causes behind them. According to custom, we are divided into e-commerce warehousing service companies and distribution companies.
