Freight forwarding industry has always been competitive, with the gradual implementation WTO commitments, the international freight forwarding company in China last year by the approval system to the filing system. This has attracted more and more domestic and foreign counterparts to join. The face of increasing price transparency, more demanding customers, the traditional single freight forwarding business and technology behind the defects were revealed, forcing the traditional freight forwarding to modern logistics industry in transition.

"Transformation is inevitable, the key is how to turn, many companies can not find the direction." China International Freight Forwarders Association, Luo Kaifu told reporters, in fact, way too simple to give our customers better, faster, and more value-added services, and comprehensive utilization of modern information technology to improve their operational efficiency.

In addition, some strong freight forwarding companies to increase the carrier's direction across the board. "In the past the freight forwarding companies, freight forwarding only to help the owner transfer, provide storage, or car as a intermediary, but now the situation is different, a lot of freight forwarding business is also a carrier, such as Sinotrans is China's largest shipping companies also has more than 700 million tons of shipping capacity of the sea. "Luo Kaifu said.

So far, most logistics enterprises in China is still the traditional transport business, stay at the level of extensive management, operational quality and efficiency are not very satisfactory. This has led to China's logistics costs well above international standards. China's logistics costs society as a whole the proportion of GDP, for 7 years, hovering at 21.3%, while the level of foreign logistics developed countries is about 10%.

Luo Kaifu said the freight forwarding companies to speed up the pace of transformation, step by step with international practice, not just their own way of development, but also to promote the development of foreign trade and reduce logistics cost in China is very beneficial.
