The core competitiveness of retail apparel enterprises lies in information technology and logistics. Some people may disagree, such as channel There will be many opinions on terminal, category and so on. However, to truly become a unique competitive power, we must choose the former.

The key to doing business lies in system construction. Other resources can be bought, no one can dig, no money can be financed, no shop can buy...

Only people, processes, data and other information system and logistics system are unique.

How to measure effective logistics? From a quantitative and financial point of view, it depends on inventory turnover and capital turnover. From a qualitative point of view, provide suitable goods and services at suitable time, right place, suitable way and suitable cost. How to build efficient logistics? We must rely on information technology.

First, retail Clothing enterprises will face inventory and SKU problems. Channel inventory is large, and SKU is a problem that plagues many enterprises. The inventory optimization of the entire supply chain needs to be demonstrated and optimized through information technology. From the point of view of logistics system, the headquarters logistics center, through means of information, plans and uses cargo location resources reasonably, and supplies goods in and out of stock with high limited turnover of resources in a limited location. Without IT, it is impossible to achieve the task.

Secondly, efficient logistics needs to solve the problem of efficiency of logistics operations. Through three-dimensional ASRS and automated conveyor belt construction, we can initially lay the foundation for automated and mechanized logistics operations. This has laid a solid foundation for the rapid development of garment retailers. The automation equipment itself involves a problem of using efficiency. The introduction of WMS system by means of IT can effectively bring the efficiency of logistics operation into full play.

Then, through bar code technology, Labelling technology The integration of holographic scanning technology and RF technology under the information platform enables the logistics center to realize the division of work with high fineness and granularity. Complex logistics operations undertake the functions of command and operation through information systems, and people liberate and build standardized operation systems. Through the centralized control of the process, the operation level only undertakes the work of fools, which greatly improves the ability of clothing logistics to serve retail channels.

With the increase of domestic labor costs, the efficient operation of logistics automation, scale and information technology is a trend. At the same time, through information technology, we can achieve a substantial improvement in work quality and reduce work error rate. The most important thing is to greatly reduce labor input and reduce manual operation. According to the analysis in the industry, at least 2/3 of the field operators can be reduced.

Finally, from the point of view of logistics cost and service quality, informatization is also an effective way.

In short, the efficient logistics of retail apparel enterprises needs information technology. Include as retail Channel RDC, CDC, XD and other logistics network construction also need the information system to ensure that this highly replicable means. The author thinks that the future direction of efficient clothing logistics is operation mechanization, management informationization, network integration and talent knowledge.

IT technology has become a means for clothing enterprises to break through the limits of their mental and physical strength.
