Plans of business expansions and holiday vacations have been shattered and ruined by the pandemic.Memories of Christmas dinner and going to the local store without precautions are engrained in our minds.The world’s behavior has shifted to adapt to the consequences of a pandemic.

疫情破壞了企業(yè)的業(yè)務(wù)拓展計(jì)劃和人們的假期安排。不用采取防護(hù)措施就去享用圣誕大餐、光顧本地商店——如今這些都是我們腦海中抹不掉的回憶。世界已然轉(zhuǎn)變自身的習(xí)性去適應(yīng)疫情造成的種種后果。

2 Many people are experiencing losses in business,losing employment and many other effects.The global ecommerce has over 3.5 billion registered users in 2020,providing many companies to grow in a new business concept without the brickand-mortar store,and additional office workers.Ecommerce business has allowed supporting businesses to grow,in particular,the logistics industry.

2 很多人生意虧損，失去工作，還受到諸多其他方面的影響。2020年全球電商擁有超過35 億的注冊(cè)用戶，這使許多公司以全新運(yùn)營(yíng)理念發(fā)展，不用開設(shè)實(shí)體店，也沒有額外的辦公人員。電商的興起促使其配套行業(yè)發(fā)展壯大，尤其是物流業(yè)。

3 As one of the oldest and largest industries,logistics is predominantly owned and operated by the older generation who has operated businesses with the same routine and procedures.Many logistics companies are still practicing the traditional method of doing business,with back and forth communication to negotiate and coordinate detailed requirements.However,consumers in the ecommerce era are now demanding faster decision-making and transparency.With the right technological solution to handle multiple procedures,many important tasks such as administration,operations coordination,financial background check and verification,etc.can now be handled by complex computation algorithms instead of humans.

3 物流業(yè)是年頭最久、規(guī)模最大的產(chǎn)業(yè)之一，主要由上一輩人執(zhí)掌和打理。他們?cè)谄髽I(yè)的管理運(yùn)營(yíng)上循規(guī)蹈矩。許多物流公司至今仍在沿用傳統(tǒng)方法運(yùn)營(yíng)，即與客戶反復(fù)溝通，就具體需求協(xié)商解決。然而，電商時(shí)代的消費(fèi)者如今需要的是更快的決策和信息的透明。恰當(dāng)?shù)募夹g(shù)解決方案能夠應(yīng)對(duì)多重程序，從而使復(fù)雜的計(jì)算算法得以取代人類完成諸如行政管理、運(yùn)營(yíng)協(xié)調(diào)、財(cái)務(wù)背景核驗(yàn)等重要任務(wù)。

4 Companies can reduce miscommunication,mishandling,minimize delinquent accountsand improve customer service levels by creating a logistics technology that can perform job functions,such as Customs Clearance Procedures,Sales-Marketing Cross Promotion,Driver Instruction and Operation Procedures,Warehouse and Airline Operation Procedures,Invoice and Payment Reminder,and others.

4 創(chuàng)建一種能夠履行若干工作職能的物流技術(shù)，能讓物流公司減少信息誤傳和處理失當(dāng)，最大程度削減拖欠賬款，提升客戶服務(wù)水平。這些職能包括辦理清關(guān)手續(xù)、實(shí)行交叉推廣營(yíng)銷、發(fā)布駕駛指令及業(yè)務(wù)流程、執(zhí)行倉(cāng)庫(kù)及航空公司運(yùn)行程序、提醒出具發(fā)票和付款等。

5 The logistics industry involves many various parties in running its operation such as Shipper,Domestic and International Transport,Consignee,Customs officers,Warehouse Personnel,Accounting and others.This is a full operation which needs to be administered and monitored in order to be executed properly.With the help of technology algorithm,multiple information will be able to be distributed and delivered to the right operator’s smartphone device and will speed up notifications,operations,and processes.

5 物流業(yè)在運(yùn)營(yíng)過程中會(huì)與托運(yùn)人、國(guó)內(nèi)國(guó)際運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)、收貨人、海關(guān)人員、倉(cāng)庫(kù)員工、會(huì)計(jì)等各方打交道。為了確保一整套操作下來(lái)不出紕漏，就需要對(duì)其實(shí)施管理和監(jiān)控。在技術(shù)算法的協(xié)助下，大量信息不僅能夠被準(zhǔn)確推送到相關(guān)業(yè)務(wù)人員的智能手機(jī)上，還將加快信息的告知、業(yè)務(wù)的運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)及工作的進(jìn)程。

6 Another key feature is the Face/Vehicle identification processes,allowing convenience to Shippers and Transporters to better monitor pick-up and dropoffs of shipments.With integrated technology features,the logistics industry will see improved service levels and the benefits of transparent cost structuresto each transaction.

6 人臉識(shí)別及交通工具識(shí)別是物流業(yè)的另一大特點(diǎn)，該技術(shù)為托運(yùn)人及承運(yùn)人提供了便利，使他們能夠更好地監(jiān)控貨品的裝卸。利用集成技術(shù)功能，物流業(yè)既能夠提升服務(wù)水平，還能夠受益于每筆交易清晰的成本構(gòu)成。

7 The pandemic has accelerated the pace of logistics digital transformation.Many new changes are seen as a result of the world crisis,including an increase in ecommerce businesses,remote work,online mobile orders and deliveries,and other changes.In order to survive as a business that has shifted away from traditional concepts,it is important to minimize costs and make smart decisions.

7 疫情加速了物流的數(shù)字化轉(zhuǎn)型。這場(chǎng)全球危機(jī)被視為很多新變化的源頭。這些變化包括電商隊(duì)伍的壯大、遠(yuǎn)程辦公人數(shù)的增加、在線移動(dòng)端訂單量和商品遞送量的增多等。擺脫了傳統(tǒng)觀念的企業(yè)要想生存，最大程度降低成本、做出明智的抉擇很重要。

8 For the logistics industry,most infrastructure job functions and operation administration tasks can be performed through a smart algorithm platform.Logistics in technology platforms will allow better communication,organization,transparency,and companies will benefit by being more cost-efficient,connected,and productive.■

8 對(duì)物流業(yè)而言，其大多數(shù)基礎(chǔ)架構(gòu)工作及運(yùn)營(yíng)管理均可通過智能算法平臺(tái)完成。物流借助各個(gè)技術(shù)平臺(tái)實(shí)施，溝通會(huì)更加順暢，組織更加嚴(yán)密，信息更加透明。物流公司也會(huì)因成本效益的提高、聯(lián)系的加強(qiáng)、效率的提升而獲益。 □
