Why is the delivery logistics in JD.COM so fast?
In 20 15, the pattern of domestic large e-commerce platforms has been determined, and the direction of major platforms' attention has also shifted from the past price war to the last mile and O2O layout. With the arrival of mobile e-commerce and social e-commerce, O2O has become the focus of every platform layout.

I have always said that O2O is not selling goods or logistics, but a comprehensive service experience, which is an important combination of online community economy and offline community economy. Of course, JD.COM, the first anniversary of its listing, began to invest in an important strategic layout at the beginning of 20 15: launching JD.COM. COM O2O platform, layout of JD.COM. COM home O2O logistics service.

Deng, vice president in charge of O2O strategy in JD.COM, once revealed, "JD.COM. COM will bring subversive changes to the logistics in JD.COM and JD.COM. Chairman Deng's words are very meaningful. This subversive change is to upgrade the traditional logistics in JD.COM to the fast logistics service, and the core of this fast logistics background is the Qinglong system, the core of Jingdong Logistics.

Let's start with a case: I talked to Vice President Deng, and he gave me such a scene experience. According to the analysis of users' big data, JD.COM can predict the sales demand of mainstream items in all districts of core cities and deliver goods in advance in regional logistics substations. Customers can enjoy the surprise logistics service about 2 hours after placing an order. This is far beyond the original services such as 2 1 1 limited time arrival and next day arrival. Behind this is the effective support of the operating system of user big data+Qinglong system +O2O.

Now, let's take a look at the operation connotation of JD.COM Qinglong system from the overall structure, which is also a valuable comb for my collection of JD content. COM's internal operating system.

I. Operation Process of Qinglong System

Logistics is undoubtedly one of JD.COM. The core COMpetitiveness of com. Behind every user's order processing, how to realize seemingly simple receiving and dispatching actually hides a complex logistics system, which JD.COM called "Qinglong". The core elements of Qinglong system include: warehouse, sorting center, distribution station and distributor. The implementation process is as follows:

Core business process of logistics distribution

1. The warehouse is responsible for arranging production according to customer orders, including free printing, delivery, invoice printing and packaging. It is where individual order packages are generated.

2. After the warehouse production is completed, the ordered parcels will be handed over to the sorting center, which will sort, pack, deliver and start the train after receiving the ordered parcels, and finally send the parcels to the corresponding distribution station.

3. After receiving and checking the goods at the distribution station, the parcel will be distributed to different distribution personnel, who will then deliver it to customers.

In the whole distribution network, the rapid circulation of logistics, information flow and capital flow has realized the timely delivery of goods, the timely recovery of payment and the accurate transmission of information.

Second, the module composition of Qinglong system

Analyzing the whole Qinglong system, the module structure of Qinglong is mainly composed of: overall system architecture+core subsystem.

1, overall system architecture

In the main structure, the whole Qinglong system has become the core of Jingdong Logistics. The front-end interface is open to all platforms, and the following is directly open to internal logistics operators and third-party logistics enterprises, as shown in the following figure:

Qinglong system model

Qinglong 2.0 system architecture

2. Core subsystem module

The core subsystem of Qinglong system consists of six core architectures, involving external expansion, terminal service, transportation management, sorting center, operation support and basic services.

Qinglong 2.0 core subsystem

Among the six core modules, the core of realizing fast delivery belongs to the pre-sorting subsystem. Pre-sorting is an important link from order taking by users to storage production. It can be said that without the pre-sorting system, users' orders can't complete warehousing production, and the accuracy of pre-sorting is very important for improving transportation efficiency.

Third, Qinglong supports fast logistics.

Core of Operating System: Pre-sorting Subsystem

Qinglong distribution system adopts deep neural network, machine learning, search engine technology, map area division, information extraction and knowledge mining in pre-sorting, and uses big data analysis to use address database, keyword database, special configuration database, GIS map database and other data to realize automatic sorting of orders, ensure 7*24 hours service, meet the access of various orders and provide stable and accurate pre-sorting interface. JD.COM self-operated and open platform (POP) services.

Pre-classification process

The algorithm logic of the pre-sorting system is as follows:

Dragon's keel: the core subsystem

If the pre-sorting system is the heart of Jingdong Logistics, the core subsystem of Qinglong plays the role of keel. The whole Qinglong distribution system consists of a set of complex core subsystems. Each link has corresponding technology to cooperate.

1. Terminal system: Usually you will see a courier in JD.COM holding a PDA, which is actually a part of the Qinglong terminal system. It can be seen in sorting centers and distribution stations. It is understood that at present, JD.COM has been testing wearable sorting equipment, promoting wearable data collectors, freeing the hands of sorting personnel and improving work efficiency. In addition, the distributor APP and the self-filing cabinet system are gradually covered to complete the operation, recording, verification, guidance and monitoring of the "last mile" logistics distribution business. Greatly improved the work efficiency of distribution personnel.

2. Waybill system: This system ensures that you can check the delivery status of goods. It can not only record the basic information such as the delivery address of the waybill, but also receive the operation records of the delivery system and PDA system, so as to track the whole order. At the same time, the waybill system provides external inquiry functions such as status and payment method for external systems such as settlement system.

3. Quality control platform: JD.COM has strict requirements on commodity quality. In order to avoid damage caused by transportation, the quality control platform reports and collects abnormal information such as logistics loss during the operation of the business system on the spot, and the quality control personnel are responsible for it. The quality control system ensures timely tracking of distribution anomalies and provides quality assurance for reducing losses.

4. Monitoring and reporting: In order to provide decision support for management and leadership, Qinglong System adopts a centralized deployment scheme, which makes it possible to realize global monitoring. The Group can monitor the operation of each region in time and make overall arrangements in time according to the smoothness of each link.

GIS system: also known as geographic information system. Based on this system, Qinglong divides it into two parts: enterprise application and personal application. On the enterprise side, GIS system can be used for site planning, vehicle scheduling, GIS pre-sorting, Beidou application, dealer route optimization, distribution monitoring, GIS unit statistics and other functions, while on the personal side, many valuable logistics services can be obtained, such as LBS service, full order visualization, forecasting delivery time, user self-raising, GIS-based O2O service, Internet of Things and so on.

Geographic information system:

Verb (abbreviation of verb) The upgrading process of Qinglong system from 1.0 to 3.0.

JD。 COM system is the fastest iterative upgrade system among all e-commerce systems. This is a sentence that Lao Jiang was particularly moved when I communicated with Mr. Jiang Haidong, the vice president in charge of logistics system in JD.COM. Jiang has always been a veteran of Jingdong logistics system. In 2009, when CEO Liu was still in Suzhou Street, Jiang was in charge of the construction of the whole logistics system. The following figure shows the inverted triangle logical structure of Qinglong system.

summary

Today is the first anniversary of JD. I am reviewing all the materials of JD.COM IPO roadshow. Among them, logistics is an important part of Liu's road show on Wall Street, and it is also one of the important selling points of JD.COM. COM list.

In the past seven years (2007 -20 14), JD. The logistics core of COM is to emphasize assets (JD. COM logistics construction began in 2007). From the perspective of 20 15, Jingdong logistics should be the core of agile supply chain operation, which is closely related to JD.COM. The new strategy of COM 2065 438+05: O2O community strategy and channel sinking strategy.

Qinglong system is of great strategic value to JD.COM, and it is the key to promote JD. COM's new strategies such as O2O, agile supply chain, all-category expansion (especially fresh food) and terminal crowdsourcing logistics.
