Sagawa Express, the largest integrated logistics enterprise in Japan, was established in Kyoto, Japan, 1957. It is one of the two major logistics companies in Japan, with a perfect network of more than 300 stores in Japan and an annual turnover of 700 billion yen, mainly providing customers with complete transportation and door-to-door services. Sagawa Industry is the most advanced integrated logistics enterprise in Japan. In 2002, the transportation of small goods ranked first in Japan. Always take "fast", "accurate" and "cordial" as the purpose, and sincerely and attentively deliver the goods entrusted by customers. Since/kloc-0 opened in March, 1957 in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, it has 333 outlets all over Japan. There are more than 30,000 employees and about 20,000 container transport vehicles. It transports 4 million commodities every day, with an annual turnover of over 700 billion yen. In addition, legal person companies have been set up in China, Singapore, Viet Nam, the Philippines, the United States (Hawaii) and other places outside Japan to carry out international cargo transportation with Southeast Asia as the center. Japan Express Co., Ltd. Japan Express Co., Ltd. is currently a private company. 1950 was a state-owned company. Lu Yunyuan Club, founded in 1872, can be said to be the "originator" of Ritong Company. At that time, the postal department was also established. The state stipulates that letters and small articles shall be handled by postal departments, and other individual operators engaged in cargo transportation must operate in partnership. In this context, Yuan Club is a small group composed of several individual transport operators specializing in land transport. In 1875, Yuan Company was renamed as China Express Company, and in 1928, it was transformed into an international express company, and its business scope expanded to foreign countries. 1 937101month/day, Japan Express Co., Ltd. was formally established. At that time, it was a state-owned company jointly funded by the government and private enterprises. With the development of World War II, the Japanese government was forced to develop comprehensive transportation, and incorporated the transportation industries of major cities in China into Ritong Company. 1950, with the implementation of "Japan Express Business Law", Japanese express companies began to move towards a new starting point in the form of private companies. Ritong Company is a typical and most representative logistics company in Japan, and its wide range of material delivery can be described as "all-inclusive". From civilian materials to military materials, from raw materials (such as oil and minerals) to commodities, from cash to valuables such as gold and jewelry ... as long as it is allowed by law, it is the transportation object of Ritong Company. Ritong Company is located in logistics centers all over the world, relying on its huge computer information network system, it can closely contact and cooperate with each other. The system can not only provide services for the internal operation of the company, but also provide customers with the service of inquiring about the dynamic delivery of materials at any time. The "door-to-door convenience" business based on door-to-door delivery is a new field for logistics companies. Last year, the Japanese logistics company's "home delivery convenience" business volume reached 654.38+06 billion pieces, five times the total postal parcels in that year. In recent years, the service scope of "door-to-door convenience" has gradually expanded and the service content has become increasingly diversified. From the installation and disassembly of electrical appliances to moving services, and even the disposal of household waste items, it is the service content of "convenient door-to-door delivery" of logistics companies. Ritong Company's "Pelican Convenience" business is one of the "door-to-door convenience" businesses. Ritong Company has set up as many as 265,438+00,000 "Pelican Mail" collection and delivery points in China. At present, the business turnover of "Pelican Post" accounts for 20% of the total domestic business of Ritong Company. The "Pelican Toilet" business also transports fresh-keeping products, which will be transported in rechargeable refrigerators. Ji Bu Sagawa, the second largest Japanese express delivery company, has now entered the logistics market, and its current logistics service turnover accounts for 20% of the company's turnover. Japanese logistics companies are actively developing the express delivery business of small items, and small express delivery companies are also actively competing for the logistics market. Under the attack of both, the market share of Japan Post is gradually shrinking. When I visited Ritong, Sagawa, OCS and other companies, I saw many letters at the express mail processing site. Japan's Postal Law stipulates that letters are monopolized by postal services, and non-postal companies also declare in their articles of association that they do not operate letter business. With regard to a large number of letters appearing in the "door-to-door convenience" business, Ritong Company explained that the so-called non-business letters can be understood as not taking the initiative to receive and send, but it is not impossible to receive and send passively because customers have the right to choose.
