Although overseas warehouses are facing various difficulties at present, the overseas warehouse model has proven its superiority, and most people are optimistic about its future prospects and have a relatively clear development direction.


 
In summary, it includes the following aspects:
 
1. Create highly collaborative supply chain logistics.
 
The entire process of goods from the factory to the warehouse and then to the hands of consumers has numerous links, and there is room for cost reduction and efficiency improvement in each link. There is also room for optimization in the connection between links. Extending from a single point logistics transfer station to a comprehensive service center that can provide more ecological chain services is the future development direction of overseas warehouses and the core competitiveness of service providers.
 
2. Establish an efficient IoT system.
 
At present, most top overseas warehouse enterprises have a relatively strong IT team, connecting multiple systems such as collection systems, transportation systems, warehousing systems, and transfer systems, while small and medium-sized overseas warehouse enterprises are slightly weaker in this regard. The emergence of "Warehouse Network Alliance" and "Cloud Warehouse" has enabled efficient collaboration and allocation between multi-level warehouse networks, better connecting the entire warehouse network from the perspectives of distribution, inventory, etc., and achieving optimal links between warehouses and customer enterprises.
 
3. Improve the level of warehouse automation.
 
At present, the intelligence level of overseas warehouses is generally low, and service providers can start from two aspects: first, introducing intelligent equipment, such as handling robots, automatic sorting robots, intelligent bin robots, intelligent conveying systems, automatic loading and unloading, etc; The second is to set scientific standards for warehouse floor height, area, and internal zoning to support automation facilities.
 
4. Enhance localized service capabilities.
 
With the development of the cross-border e-commerce industry, sellers have an increasingly strong demand for localized services, from local market research, local procurement to local marketing, local assembly, and then to local after-sales maintenance, final delivery, and so on. Therefore, overseas warehouse service providers need to have a localized vision in the future and help sellers achieve value-added through localized services.
