In recent years, due to the rapid rise of cross-border e-commerce, cross-border logistics activities have become more frequent. Cross-border e-commerce companies rely on overseas warehousing and logistics service providers to deliver goods to customers. Having excellent overseas warehousing and logistics partners is one of the important key elements for cross-border e-commerce companies to succeed in overseas markets. Therefore, how to evaluate overseas warehousing and logistics service providers is an important issue for cross-border e-commerce companies. This research first summarizes the evaluation dimensions, criteria and indicators through literature discussion and expert interviews, and asks experts to confirm the importance of each indicator. Then, the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method is used to determine the weight of each indicator and construct an evaluation model. This study also generates different test cases of overseas warehousing and logistics service providers to verify the feasibility of the evaluation model in practice. The research results show that the top ten indicators are: distribution reliability, customized distribution services, warehousing safety control, comprehensive warehousing and storage capabilities, fast customs clearance services, delivery to home services, convenience of warehousing, payment collection services, customs clearance services, distribution time span and distribution management (the last two items are tied for tenth). Among these indicators, five are related to distribution, three are related to warehousing, and two are related to customs clearance services. It can be seen that cross-border e-commerce companies attach great importance to the goods distribution capacity, warehousing capacity and customs clearance service capacity of overseas warehousing and logistics service providers. This study also provides an evaluation form for cross-border e-commerce companies to evaluate their overseas warehousing logistics service providers. Finally, this study discusses the management implications of the top ten indicators, and also provides operational recommendations for cross-border e-commerce companies and overseas warehousing and logistics service providers. |
