founder Chen Jian said that further marketization and specialization of automotive supply chain services are the general trend. After this round of financing, "Zhaochi Supply Chain" will further increase investment in talents and technology to provide for the automotive industry Better supply chain services.
The scale of China's automobile logistics market exceeds 100 billion yuan, and the industry is ushering in opportunities for structural changes.
"First of all, with the rapid rise of new energy vehicles and the'new forces in manufacturing vehicles', emerging auto logistics companies have ushered in a golden opportunity for overtaking in curves; secondly, the continuous decline in traditional car sales has forced automakers to reduce costs and increase costs. Effective, the logistics outsourcing trend of OEMs and parts suppliers is obvious." Dr. Lin Taien, co-founder of Megachi, said that the existing traditional automobile logistics companies have been unable to match the logistics needs of new energy vehicles.
"Automotive supply chain logistics is recognized as the most complex and professional logistics field in the world. Its supply chain has the characteristics of a large number of SKUs, complex links, strong planning, and high timeliness requirements." Lin Taien said, "Zhaochi Supply Chain" Not only realized the formulation of supply chain solutions for automakers, but also opened up multiple upstream and downstream logistics systems such as parts supply logistics, on-line production logistics, vehicle sales logistics, after-sales spare parts logistics, and achieved a 20% cost reduction, 50% % Efficiency, 100% visibility. Since the formal establishment of the vertical market segment strategy of automobile logistics at the end of 2017, "Zhaochi Supply Chain" has successfully served a number of new energy vehicle head customers and achieved in-depth business binding.
is able to occupy the market in a short period of time, thanks to the deep cultivation of the supply chain logistics industry by "Zhao Chi Supply Chain". The core team members have served as core executives in large enterprises such as SF Express, Lenovo, Youhe Datong, and Kerry EAS, and are proficient in automobiles. Logistics design and planning, scheduling, market development, operation management and other links.

2020 is a challenging year for the automotive industry. The sudden epidemic has exacerbated the decline in automobile sales. Under the pressure of lean production, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, automobile industry chain companies urgently need to outsource logistics to third-party logistics companies with stronger cost control.
In this regard, "Zhaochi Supply Chain" uses "lightweight IoT + technology operations" to alleviate the problems of "serious dependence on operator experience" and "lower efficiency of personnel" on the production line of the automotive industry, and not only realizes production logistics The number of employees in the link was reduced by 30%, and "one person with multiple jobs" was implemented. Relying on the power of technology, it achieved 50% efficiency increase and 99.99% error prevention, allowing auto companies to ensure real-time delivery under the "zero inventory" business model.
The threshold for production and logistics is extremely high. Most private enterprises do not have the ability to design and operate production logistics schemes, and are unwilling to invest in R&D in this link. However, production logistics is the "seven inches" of the entire automotive supply chain. The "supply chain" has given priority to this link, from the production link to the upstream parts supply logistics and downstream vehicle sales logistics.
In the logistics service link of the whole chain of "warehousing-packaging-sorting-transportation-speed-dating", "Chi Supply Chain" based on a large number of service practices, intensive processing of a large number of fragmented services of previous auto companies, making full use of space and A large amount of time coordination, efficient integration and reuse of invested logistics resources, to achieve cost structure optimization; at the same time, through the transparency of the entire chain of data, it reduces invalid handling and invalid inventory in the logistics process, and achieves efficiency improvements while reducing costs.
"Zhaochi Supply Chain" has successfully entered the automotive logistics market. So far, nearly a hundred auto companies have directly provided services. In the epidemic year, it has also achieved both business volume and customer growth against the market.
This round of capital, Qingsong Fund founding partner Su Wei said that through the logistics trackIn-depth research and analysis found that in the past 20 years, professional logistics listed companies were often born with the emergence and rapid development of a new industrial chain. "Under the strategic background of new energy vehicles, we are optimistic about auto logistics companies that start from new energy vehicles."
